chemical storage for winter

[Chewbubba]

I need to know if any of the pool chemicals will NOT keep over the winter. I used the BBB method for the most part, but did use a few other things.

Anyway, I'm not worried about the borax or the baking soda, and I think I can take the muratic acid to school for the chemistry lab (hardly used it - will buy the dry stuff next year).

Things I don't know what to do with or if they will keep over the winter:

-A large box of trichlor
-2 bottles of unused calcium hypochlorate (?) that came in a starter kit
-a bottle of liquid alkyl ammonium chloride (super algae guard)
-pool chem testing kit (drops)
-bottle of test strips I bought in an emergency

Any ideas on what I can/should do with them?

Thanks for any advice!

-A large box of trichlor - will keep indefinitely...keep the lid closed
-2 bottles of unused calcium hypochlorate (?) that came in a starter kit...Cal Hypo is a powder...you say it's in a bottle?
-a bottle of liquid alkyl ammonium chloride (super algae guard) may or may not keep but you don't need it
-pool chem testing kit (drops) - What make and model...has it been kept indoors?
-bottle of test strips I bought in an emergency - give them to your worst enemy

Lol, that's awesome.

Cal Hypo - yep, powder. Bottle... plastic container with a screw-on lid? Jar?

Drop kit - just the HTH drop kit - I think I'll just toss it since I wanted the TFP-100 kit next year anyway.

I forgot....the Cal Hypo will keep, too. Close the lid tightly.
