HASA Muratic Acid - 2 Gallon Case

Hasa Muriatic Acid is a potent inorganic acid, designed to decrease pH and alkalinity. Commonly used in your weekly maintenance, this acid allows you to get your levels back to normal and keep them there.

~ Reduces pH levels in swimming pool water.

~ Effective for decreasing alkalinity.

~ Useful for removing scale.

~ Suitable for cleaning concrete.

~ Aids in pH reduction.

Dosage:

~ For specific dosing instructions check the instructions labeled on your product or in the images provided above.

Directions: Reducing your pH:

1. First, check the pool water's pH using a test kit or test strips. If the pH is high, calculate the necessary amount of Muriatic Acid either through a test kit with an acid demand test or by using online calculators*.

2. Prepare the acid solution by filling a clean bucket with tap water, ensuring a minimum dilution ratio of 10:1 with the acid. Then, cautiously mix in the determined amount of Muriatic Acid.

3. With the pool's circulation system active, evenly distribute the diluted acid solution around the pool's edge, steering clear of steps, beaches, swim-outs, and other shallow areas.

4. Keep the pool's circulation running until the chemicals are thoroughly mixed and dispersed.

Directions: Reducing your alkalinity:

1. Start by testing the alkalinity of the pool water with a test kit or test strips. If it's high, you can estimate the required amount of Muriatic Acid for reduction. Typically, 1.25 pints of 31.45% muriatic acid per 10,000 gallons can lower alkalinity by 10ppm, but keep in mind that other water factors may influence the effectiveness of this dosage.

2. Before adding, turn off the pool's circulation and wait until the water is as calm as possible.

3. Then, carefully pour the undiluted Muriatic Acid into one spot, preferably in the deep end, as the acid is denser than water and will form a concentrated cloud at the bottom.

~ Be cautious with the quantity of acid used in each treatment to prevent the concentrated solution from remaining at the pool's bottom for too long. Factors like depth, water movement, and treatment duration will affect the dosage, but generally, 1 to 2 pints per day is considered the safe maximum.

4. Allow the acid to sit for an hour before restarting the circulation.

5. Re-test the water to monitor progress. Depending on the extent of alkalinity reduction needed, this process might need to be repeated over several days or even weeks. If the pH falls below 7.0, adjust it upward with soda ash (sodium carbonate).

6. After achieving the desired alkalinity level, proceed to re-balance the water.
