A good test kit will tell you what you need to do based on the

How much water is in muriatic acid?
Muriatic acid is considered concentrated Hydrochloric acid. At
STP the maximum soluble concenration is about 37.5% HCl. You will
usually titrate it to 36% HCl and as low as 34% HCl. Concentrated
muriatic acid is always evaporating HCl gas and the concentration
is always dropping. For most purposes like "pool cleaning" they cut
it to 17% HCl and still call it muriatic acid. Muriatic should have
65% water by weight on average for the concentrated stuff and 83%
water by weight for the weaker stuff.
