We have an outside accessible storage room/closet that I store my pool chemicals in. It says cool and dry. I do have a bathroom style fart fan in there, that I do run from time to time. The room was added on to an existing structure, as as such, what used to be outside natural gas lines that went from the dirt into the building are now inside the room in the corner. I've been storing my chlorine tabs in the stock Leslie's bucket over there.
These pipes were a little rusty to start off with, but I have noticed over the past few months (the room is only about 6 months old), the iron pipes have rusted a considerably more.
First off....Yes I am going to paint primer on them. I acknowledge I should have done that on day one, but failed to do so. Yes, I also acknowledge that chlorine fumes are corrosive. The fumes are not bad in the room, so I never would have imagined this, but also know that exposed iron pipes are very easily rusted.
1) I will paint some primer on these pipes to seal them up.......was planning on just some liquid rustoleum primer brushed on nice and thick.
2) I have my fart fan on a timer now. I now have it scheduled to run for 4 hours, then off for 4 hours, and repeat this 24/7.
Where my question comes in play.......should I be concerned or do anything else to prevent permanent long term damage? Would moving the chlorine to a different corner be helpful? Photo below is of the corner of the storage room.

before it's too late based on where you're shopping, and the chemicals you're adding to your pool.
