Common causes: muriatic acid spills, concentrated chlorine contact, pH chemicals. Burns worsen with time - speed critical. Eyes require immediate professional care.

Mixing pool chemicals creates deadly reactions: Chlorine + acid = chlorine gas (fatal if inhaled), different shock types = explosive reactions, bleach + acid = toxic gas formation. NEVER mix chemicals together. Always add ONE chemical at a time, wait 4+ hours between additions, add chemicals to water (not water to chemicals), use separate measuring tools. If accidental mixing occurs, evacuate area and call emergency services.

Chemical overdose dangers: Chlorine over 10ppm creates gas hazard, pH below 6.8 or above 8.2 damages equipment, shock overdose releases toxic vapors, automatic feeder malfunction can create dangerous levels. Signs: strong chemical smell, equipment corrosion, skin/eye irritation, difficulty breathing near pool. Stop adding chemicals, test water, ventilate area, call professional for high readings.

Safe chemical storage: Store in cool, dry, ventilated area away from house, keep different types separated on different shelves, use original containers with labels, never store above 85°F (critical in Texas heat), install temperature monitoring. Never store together: chlorine + acid, oxidizers + organic materials, wet chemicals + dry chemicals. Climate-controlled storage recommended for Texas conditions.

Chemical poisoning symptoms: Difficulty breathing, burning eyes/throat, skin irritation/burns, nausea/vomiting, dizziness, chest pain, coughing. IMMEDIATE ACTIONS: Move to fresh air, call 911 for severe symptoms, flush eyes/skin with water, call Poison Control 1-800-222-1222. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed. Most dangerous: chlorine gas inhalation from mixed chemicals. Seek medical attention for any respiratory symptoms.
