Chemical storage - cleanclub77 - 08-25-2013
I currently store my encap chemicals in my garage on shelves.(hot in summer & cold in winter) Would the hot and cold temps affect the chemicals in any way? Would storing them in another part of the house be better for storage?

Releasit products are stable being stored in a wide range of environmental conditions. It's not a bad idea to avoid extreme temperatures, but we haven't seen degradation in HIGH heat, and they're stable through multiple freeze/thaw cycles. So there shouldn't be a problem either way. Yet if you're concerned, there's nothing wrong with trying to keep your chems cozy.
The only product that's especially sensitive to heat and light is Encap-HydrOx. Light is the main concern. But if you can store Encap-HydrOx in a cool and dark location it'll help the hydrogen peroxide to retain its kick.

I store my chemicals in an old non-working refrigerator in my garden shed. Even on the hottest days it's amazing how cool they all keep because of the insulation.

Brilliant! That is a great use for an old refrigerator.
