Hi all,
First, I want to say thank you to this forum as it’s been my go-to for the past 4 years from designing to now maintenance of our pool. You guys are awesome, and I really appreciate you!
Our pool builder gave us about 5-10lb of 65% Cal-Hypo which we have used occasionally over the past 4 years (less than 1lb at a time) when our salt cell hasn’t run long enough. I have had it stored in a plastic container with a breathable lid (one I got from the packaging dept when I worked for an industrial chemical company), and it’s been dry up until we pulled it out last week. It’s stored on a shelf in our garage which is not damp but subject to the North Texas heat/humidity.
When we pulled it out last week to use it, the life was open and entire container of cal-hypo is wet like a paste. It was not around any other chemicals and can only guess it’s wet from the humidity. I’m assuming this is no longer safe to store or keep. Is it salvageable? If not, how should we safely dispose of it?
