Measuring cup for chemicals

[JimMarshall]

Plastic or glass?

Intuition tells me plastic around the pool but I’m just take back to chemistry class where everything was always glass to prevent reactions.

Can i I use the same cup for bleach and MA assuming it’s well rinsed?

I've used both types for all chemicals. No issues with either one. I think I like the plaster better just for handling and around the decking in case I have an accident. I rinse between chemicals and have no problems at all.

Plastic.

Most have a measuring device for each. When I have to add LC I just pour from the bottle. It does not need to be that accurate.

All of the chemicals come in plastic, so......

I dont see why not, but aren't you usually measuring different ranges of volume? that would suggest different size measuring cups.

of course, jmo.

Plastic only around the pool.

I used the same cup for everything for a couple years until it got brittle and yellow with age from sitting outdoors all year. It shattered when I knocked it off the patio table. Now I just grab a plastic tumbler from the kitchen to gather my sample and eyeball the quantities of acid and bleach.

Actually, that is what i do for both MA and LC. I mark the MA bottle at approximate 1/4 levels and judge from that.

Honestly, I normally just add LC a jug at a time. 1 jug of fresh 12.5 gives me 3 days of LC, I normally don’t test and add daily.

Ive been eyeballing MA too. Last time I significantly overshot though, so I figure I need to make certain I’m a bit more precise with that one

I have a 32 oz plastic measuring cup and I use it for everything. I just rinse it out afterwards.
