Champion Muriatic Acid
Product Overview
Professional Grade pH & Alkalinity Control.
Muriatic acid (Hydrochloric Acid) is the most efficient and cost-effective chemical for rapidly lowering elevated pH and Total Alkalinity in swimming pools. Crucial for keeping your Langelier Saturation Index (LSI) balanced, especially in hard-water regions like North Texas.
Benefits & What Makes It Different
Restores Chlorine Efficiency
High pH heavily dampens chlorine effectiveness. Lowering pH to 7.4-7.6 restores your sanitizer's killing power.
Prevents Scale Formation
Vital for combating the high-calcium fill water in DFW by bringing down Total Alkalinity and preventing calcium carbonate scaling on tile lines.
Commercial Strength (31.45%)
Full-strength 20 Baume acid, widely preferred by our service technicians over diluted retail-store variants.
Common Questions & Instructions
How do I safely dose Muriatic Acid?
Always add acid TO water, never water to acid. Walk the perimeter of the deep end, slowly pouring the acid as close to the water surface as possible while the pump is running on high speed to ensure rapid dilution.
How much does it take to lower pH?
As a rule of thumb in a 10,000 gallon pool, 12 fluid ounces (approx. 1.5 cups) of 31.45% Muriatic Acid will drop pH by roughly 0.2 units. Always test Total Alkalinity first, as high TA will require more acid.
Can I pour it directly into the skimmer?
NEVER. Pouring acid directly into the skimmer will send a highly corrosive slug of low-pH water directly through your pump impeller, filter internals, and heater core, causing catastrophic and expensive damage.
