My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

over winter chemicals

12 years ago

Hi,
Last year I had some pucks and granular chlorine left over. This spring I used them when starting up, but wondered if they had lost some of their vigor.
Does anyone know if these chemicals loose 'any', 'some', or a 'a lot' of their effectiveness after spending the winter in a cold pool shed?
Thanks,
......... john
