is muriatic acid same as ammonia? Muriatic acid is industrial hydrochloric acid (HCl). Ammonia is a base (NH3).
Is Cyanuric acid same as muriatic acid?
Cyanuric acid is not the same as muriatic acid. Cyanuric acid is odorless and white in color. It is used as a component of disinfectants, bleaches, and herbicides. Muriatic acid is clear solution of hydrogen chloride in water.
Is muriatic acid the same as hth stabilizer?
no
What acid names start with the letter m?
Muriatic acid is used to clean concrete and bricks among other things. It is basically the same as hydrochloric acid.
Can muriatic acid clean aluminum?
No most muriatic acid no matter its concentration has a chemical reaction with aluminum that gives off H gas.(i have only tried it with Aluminum foil but dont know if it works the same for all Al) Try not to mix the two.
Is hydrogen chloride a colourless and poisonous gas that should not be inhaled?
Yes. Chlorine is an odorless and colorless gas, same as hydrogen. It has a molecular compound of HCl (which same as hydrochloric acid or muriatic acid).
A nursery owner told you that vinegar has the same chemical compound or components as muriatic acid?
Well... technically it's not completely untrue. Both of them do contain water. However, vinegar is a 5% solution of acetic acid in water; muriatic acid is a solution of hydrogen chloride (usually about 30-40%) in water.
Is powder conditioner used for the same result as using muratic acid?
No, conditioner is added to water to help mantain chlorine. Muriatic acid is used to lower pH or alkalinity.
Can you add chlorine and muriatic acid at the same time?
NO!!! Never add them at the same time, together they make a toxic gas A general rule when adding chemicals to pools is to wait at least an hour before adding any other chemical to the pool. Remember Muriatic acid is very dangerous so be careful bad for lungs, burn skin, blind eyes.
Where to store muriatic acid?
Where to Get Muriatic AcidMost pool stores carry this kind of liquid acid. If not they all carry "Dry Acid" of "Sodium Bisulfate". Each pound of Sodium Bisulfate is the same as using 10 ounces of Muriatic Acid in pool water. Here are more opinions and answers from other FAQ Farmers:You can usually find Muriatic acid at Home Depot next to all the pool supplies.I buy Muratic Acid at Albertson's Grocery store believe it or not.I heard from pool dealer that this product is very toxic try Lo'n Slo from Bioguard instead.Loon in the paint section of hardware and lumber stores. It is not toxic to the pool.Here's the cheapest way: go to a pool store and buy pH decrease. 10 parts water to 1 part decrease.I get my acid from a dealer dealing with cleansers such as bleach, dishsoap etc. Muriatic acid is the best and easiest way to reduce pH levels, but it has many other uses to.You can buy muriatic acid in the Outside Garden section near the pool supplies at any of the Home Depot stores.
What are the alternatives to using muriatic acid to lower the PH in a swimming pool?
There are 3 principal chemicals for lowering pH: muriatic acid, sodium bisulfate (dry acid) & CO2. If this is a commercial application then CO2 may be a viable source. The sodium bisulfate is dry acid which when mixed with water makes liquid acid but does not have the odor. Muriatic acid and sodium bisulfate both lower total alkalinity at hte same time as lowering the pH. CO2 may raise total alkalinity at the same time as lowering pH. The total alkalinity is important to have a stable pH which in turn is important to have a relatively constant pH for the proper effectiveness of the sanitizer (chlorine) Any other questions feel free to email me direct.
