ADD MURATIC ACID PER DIRECTIONS. ALSO ADJUSTS THE PH New ans: There are no directions on a bottle of muratic acid. Muriatic acid will have little affect on the overall pH readings or can hardly be detected on most test kits. Possible too, lowering the pH may actually prolong the life of the chlorine. Chlorine levels will automatically come down naturally if left alone. And why in the world would you ever want to lower the chlorine levels if you have good sanitation????

∙ 14y agoMost salt water chlorinaters have a setting that reduces the amount of chlorine produced check with the instructions or manufacturer. another way is to run the system less often this however may lead to insufficient filtration time. As a last resort time the chlorinater separately from the pump but make sure the power for it will only work when the pump is in operation Any exes of chlorine in the water at any given time will dissipate naturally
