Hydrochloric acid for pools, also known as muriatic acid, is widely used in pools to lower pH levels, enhance water clarity, and boost chlorine effectiveness. Always refer to guidelines for safe dilution and handling.
Applications:
- Swimming Pool pH Adjustment
- Brick Cleaning & Concrete Etching
- Industrial Processes & Metal Preparation
- Mineral Processing
Guidelines for Brick Cleaning and Etching
- Scrape off excess concrete or mortar and soak bricks with water.
- Prepare a solution by mixing 1 part acid with up to 10 parts water.
- Apply with a brush, wait for the reaction to stop (frothing), then rinse with water.
Hydrochloric acid for Pools pH Adjustment Instructions
- Add 100 ml of acid per 40,000 litres of pool water to lower pH by 0.1 (e.g., 7.9 to 7.8).
- Run the pool pump for at least 1 hour after adding acid; retest and adjust pH as needed after 8 hours.
*Included in the cost is a $5 deposit for the 20L drum, which is reimbursable upon the return of the empty container.
