At what temperature should a pool chemical test kit be stored?

Storing a pool chemical test kit at a temperature range of 36-85 degrees F is optimal because this range ensures the accuracy and reliability of the chemical reagents included in the kit. Temperature extremes can affect the performance of these reagents, leading to incorrect test results. At temperatures below 36 degrees F, certain chemicals may become unstable or ineffective, while temperatures exceeding 85 degrees F can accelerate degradation or alter the chemical properties of the reagents. Therefore, maintaining the test kit within the specified range helps preserve its functionality and ensures that tests provide accurate readings for pool maintenance and safety.
