Adding Liquid Muriatic Acid To An Above Ground Pool...
by Jon Joiner
How much liquid muriatic acid do I add initially. It is a salt water system? Thanks for the question Jon Muriatic acid is used to decrease both your pH and alkalinity. It really depends on which one you're trying to decrease and what the readings are. If you can email back with the readings I could help. But not knowing that, it's difficult to say how much you need. Just let me know what the current readings are and I'm sure I can help. Or you can check out the alkalinity, pH, and muriatic pages: Muriatic Acid Swimming Pool pH Levels Pool Alkalinity The above links have charts to help you. All the links to all the chemical pages can be found here: Swimming Pool Chemistry I already have the gallons so that's the best place to start. Hope to hear from you soon. Robert |
