During the hot summer of a couple of years ago we bought one of them big swimming pools with a filter.You had to put chlorine and ph minus in it.Well the kids are a bit older the pump broke on the pool and i have shite loads of chlorine left.Does anyone know whether a tip will take it ? I presume it aint safe to tip down drains as well ?

    Can you give me the brand name and I will check the safety data sheet and see what it says about disposal for you

    Depends on what stuff you have, in a concentrated form it could be nasty, just depends what you have
  • Contact your local authority who should be able to advise.

    Looking at it the big worry is about exposure to toxic fumes when released, it advises you speak to your local authority, give your local environmental health a call at the council and they will advise further, do not attempt to wash it away yourself.

    How come it's safe to put in a swimming pool?

    Concentration, Jorge

    Take it to the Den, Steve, and just leave it in Stuwall's seat - the man clearly needs a breath of fresh air

    Put it on e-bay. When someone buys it (to make a bomb) grass them up to MI5 and become a hero. Win bonus as you get rid of it as well ! Bonza.

    Or is that Hydrogen Peroxide ?

    Or Tri-Nitro-Toluene ?

    Hydrogen Peroxide is found in rainwater, fast flowing mountain streams and breast milk.
    Our bodies manufacture it, amongst other purposes, as part of our immune system.

    Most bimbos in Chatham use it to bleach their hair and their tiny triangle left after shaving.

    At 90% concentration, it's also rocket fuel.

    Don't touch it without proper rubber gloves on else you will really know about it!

    Tip it in the Cray, no harm done ;-)

    Knowing you as I do and considereing the way the last 4 seasons have gone, I would have thought you'd have drunk it by now!!

    As someone has already suggested the infamous Stuwall, why stop there? With my suggestion neither the Chlorine or the pool will go to waste. Take half a dozen of your regular brain dead super hard Spanner supporters, fill the pool (along with the Chlorine) and chuck em in, when they surface for a hearty round of "No one likes us....." etc etc etc, yawn..........just take a yard broom and dunk the silly little gormless feckers under again, simples and good job done.

    Contact the supplier - they should take it back. If they don't send me a whisper.
