Can you substitute muratic acid for battery acid?
You do not use muratic acid with car batteries. You use sulfuric acid. You use about 35% Sulfuric acid and 65% Distilled (de-ionized) water
Can you use sodium bisulfate to lower TA?
Sodium bisulfate (AKA sodium hydrogen sulfate or sodium acid sulfate) is an acid that will lower pH. If you lower the pH of a swimming pool buffered with baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and maybe cyanuric acid (stabilizer), your alkalinity will go down, along with the pH. But usually, what people want is to lower the alkalinity (or TA) without lowering the pH. When you lower the pH on a carbonate buffered pool, you convert some of the carbonates into carbonic acid, where they no longer contribute to the measured alkalinity. But, as soon as you raise your pH, the carbonic acid switches back to carbonate, and your TA goes right back up with the pH. To actually LOWER the alkalinity, you have to lower the pH, and then REMOVE some of the carbonic acid, which you can do be aerating the pool, since carbonic acid is a form of carbon dioxide gas.
What do you do if you drink muratic acid?
Call poison control. That is hydrochloric acid.
What causes high pH levels in pools?
The nature of gunite pools is the make up of the gunite - it has lime in it. It has high alkaline levels. Also, the make up water may have high levels of alkalinity. Adjust your pH and adjust as needed with muratic acid and monitor your alkalinity by using a test kit.
How does the pH value vary with the strength of acidity and alkalinity?
pH less than 7 indicates acid the lower the pH the stronger the acid. pH greater than 7 indicates alkalinity the higher pH the stronger the base.
How do you lower the PH Alkalinity in a above groun pool?
use muratic acid to bring down Ph and TA
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.
How do you lower alkalinity in spa?
A small of amount of muriatic acid
Is sulfuric and muratic acid the same?
Muratic acid is another name for hydrochloric acid, so it is not the same thing as sulfuric acid.
Can muratic acid harm aluminum?
i want to clean algi from pontoons on my pontoon boat,,can muratic acid be used??????
Muratic acid and discoloring of concrete?
muriatic acid should not cause discolouration to concrete it will eat it away though.
Your alkalinity is really high How do you lower it without lowering the pH too?
pH refers to the level of acidity or alkalinity. less than 7 is acidic, more than 7 is alkaline. if you want to lower your alkalinity, add muriatic acid. It will lower the pH though
If my pool has too much alkalinity what should you do?
add acid
Does chlorine affect alkalinity?
Chlorine will indeed affect alkalinity. It will lower the alkalinity. If you add chlorine gas to water, it will create hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid. Cl2 + H2O <-> HCl + HOCl Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) will do the opposite and raise pH.

What other names does hydrochloric acid go by?
