the optimal level is between 7.4 and 7.6. For a 1,000-gallon pool, add 1.5 oz. if the pH is between 7.8 and 8, 2.5 oz. if the pH is between 8 and 8.4, and 3 oz. if the pH is above 8.4. For a 5,000-gallon pool, add 8 oz. if the pH is between 7.8 and 8, 12 oz. if the pH is between 8 and 8.4, and 16 oz. if the pH is over 8.4. For a 10,000-gallon pool, add twice as much as you would for a 5,000-gallon pool to restore pH to the optimal level.
It depends on what your starting pH is. Your target range is 7.2 - 7.8. If your test shows a reading higher than that, add 1/2 gallon muriatic acid. Retest 24 hours later. Repeat daily until you are in the target range. Thereafter, you should be able to test and adjust once a week. Muriatic acid is not the only chemical to be added at start up. It would be best to take a pool water sample to a pool supply company. Most companies now have computerized testing that will printout current levels of chemicals, as well as how much and what order to add to your pool water. They may try to "add on" sales of algaecide, phosphate remover, etc. The only chemicals you need to start up your pool are stabilizer, shock, chlorine tabs, and possibly soda ash or sodium bicarb.
You will only have to add acid if your pH is too high. Add enough to bring the pH down to 7.2. Do it gradually and test with an OTO water tester after waiting at least a day after each adjustment. Hatawa
26 fluid ounces of Muriatic acid (31.4%) will decrease the alkalinity in 10,000 gals by 10ppm.
none until you add some
The pH level of a pool can be lowered by using a specific acid that is sold at pool supply stores. The acid is called muriatic acid, and it should be added to the pool while the water is circulating. About 1/4 gallon of the muriatic should be added per .1 part per million the pH needs to be lowered.
Depending on the amount of acid added, the yeast not grow as well, and will die if enough is added.
Muriatic acid is a compound which can be made into a solution with water.
Acids, including Muriatic acid, a variation of sulfuric acid, is a compound substance; however, muriatic acid can be made a mixture together with water.
Muriatic acid HCL is a compound. however it is often sold as a mixture with water.
In order to not cause irritation of the eyes and skin, the pH of the pool water should be between 7.2 - 7.6. Muriatic acid is added to the pool to lower the pH if it is too high.
Muriatic acid is what is used to reduce alkalinity in water.
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.
Yes there should be no problem with that.
It is possible that muriatic acid will damage the soil on a permanent basis. If your soil needs additional acid, vinegar works better than anything.
The aqueous solution of HCl is the Muriatic acid so HCl gas is solute and water is solvent.
