Do yourself a favor, spend the grand on converting your pool to salt water. Before 3 years go by you're starting to save money. And save LOTS of your time in maintaining the pool.
And you can throw away 90% of those chemicals you were using and playing chemist with a few days a week.
Salt water pools are soooooo much easier to maintain, and much less expense each year.
And easier on your skin, smells better, tastes better, no bleached green hair if you're blond.

Why in the world would anybody store pool supplies inside their garage??? Y'all do realize that breathing the vapors from that chlorine can kill you right? In which case a little rust on your bike or tools would be a moot point. That stuff should be stored in a vented storage container OUTSIDE away from the house. That stuff can explode ya know.

I don't use tabs , I use Clorox quick dissolve granules and the bottles are sealed. I don't use a lot of shock because I have a saltwater system so it's not a big issue for me.

I change flush and reload the DE filter once a month, and run the pump/filter 24x7. I'm super **** about ultra clean. Polaris vacuum a few times a week.

Back in '06 when we had a flood, the cellar flooded. Afterward, the landlord swabbed out the cellar with bleach. My guitars were stored on the first floor, and all the hardware on $30,000 worth of Gibson electric guitars tarnished and corroded in a matter of days!

Back in the seventies we would pour some brake fluid on a pile of swimming pool chlorine and it would spontaneously ignite. It was great fun as kids, but when my friends dad heard about it, he kept the chlorine well away from the garage.
