How do you store your cal-hypo?
I’ve been keeping mine in empty red plastic containers that originally held Folgers coffee.
Should I put it in glass jars instead? If so, what kind of lids?
Thanks in advance.

I use canning jars with plastic lids. I also wax seal the top to prevent out gassing. The wax seal also prevents air intrusion that will cause further oxidation. I store the jars in a dark location. So far I have had no problem with them.

I have a well with the classic rotten egg smell issues. We have a 120 gallon holding tank and a 40 liter chemical tank with an injector pump. We have been treating water for 21 years. I use pool shock at times when I run out of blue label bleach.

That’s how I store mine in old all plastic coffee ‘can’.
