I won’t be able to have a dedicated truck to my business for at least the first couple of months, so I will need to be loading/unloading equipment all the time. Because of this, I figure I probably shouldn’t buy a 55 gallon drum of SH, and should probably store it in small gallon quantities. Since sunlight and heat kills it, what is a good way to store SH in smaller quantities?
An approved container will be durable, ventilated and opaque. Store the containers in a shaded and ventilated area, on or near the ground because they are heavy and make sure a leak or spill won’t escape your storage area.
No idea mate it in these containers from a chemical supplier. I return the containers for a credit as they are reusable.
Pool Chlorine is usually only 10% or 12.5% but if you are buying from a smaller supplier, or storing a while, you might want to anticipate it actually being a lower % because it loses strength over time.
They only vent under pressure when the container gets hot. Like petrol tanks.
It makes a mess when a bottle of SH goes pop.
It might only be a problem in hotter places like here
It gets over a 100 degrees regularly here and I have never had that happen in 10 years, but the plastic is much thicker than the bottle that you showed in your pic. I guess the thin plastic is the culprit.
I have noticed that bottled water containers are so thin now that they practically twist in half when you open them.
