I am looking for recommendations for long term storage of Chlorinating Tabs.
I have trichloro-triazinetrione 1" tabs to be used in SHTF water disinfection. The container they came in is starting to deteriorating . I have had the tabs for several years. Any help would be appreciated. |

Per a recent thread here, definitely store those in an outdoor shed/storage closet. Chlorine as commonly used in pool maintenance puts off corrosive fumes/vapor/whatever that will corrode nearby metal- including guns, mags, shelving, etc. As for the container? The plastic lidded buckets that the tablets come in from the pool store work just fine.

Apparently the jug it came in has started to break down and crack. That one little crack caused enough vapor to rust everything around it. I put it in a 5 gallon mud bucket with a snap on lid. |
