Hello, ?, new pool owner here. Project completed Jan 2019. Southern CA, Inland Empire which is very hot and sunny most days in the summer. I would like to store my liquid chlorine and acid outdoor by the pool equipment due to concerns about rusting damage keeping them indoors where temps and shade would be ideal. I was thinking about 22 Gal Suncast deck boxes (1 for CL, 1 for MA, etc). If necessary I can drill a couple extra holes to increase ventilation. My real questions:
1) How many ft apart should the deck boxes be from each other with 1 containing MA and the other CL? Can the boxes be right next to each other or min 2-3 ft away, etc.
2) How far from the actual pool equipment should these deck be so they don’t do any damage to pumps and heater, etc? These deck boxes would be roughly 3+ ft away from the pad.
3) As for shaded and cool, not really an option here May - Sept. if these deck boxes are in direct sunlight for quite a few hours per day - would it be ok?
Thank you for any help with this, I’m a little paranoid about this - I don’t want to start off with our dream pool having an explosion or destroying my pool equipment.
