Muriatic Acid

Muriatic Acid, also known as hydrochloric acid, is a powerful chemical used to decrease the pH and total alkalinity of pool water. Its strong nature calls for careful handling.

  • Muriatic Acid lowers both pH and total alkalinity, helping to balance pool water.
  • Overuse can lead to a dangerously low pH, causing corrosive water and potential damage to pool equipment and surfaces.
  • It's a strong acid and can cause burns and respiratory issues if improperly handled. Use with caution.
  • Regular testing and precise dosing of Muriatic Acid are crucial to maintain balanced pool chemistry.
  • To use Muriatic Acid, always add the acid to water (never water to acid), and then slowly pour the diluted solution into the deep end of the pool, with the pool pump running, to ensure proper mixing.
