How do you lower the pH level?
liquid muriatic acid
What is the pH level of muriatic acid?
Muriatic acid is a very strong acid. The pH will vary depending on the concentration of the acid. A 10% concentration (by weight) has a pH of around -0.5 while a 38% concentration has a pH of around -1.1. I found this information at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muriatic_acid.
Why does the PH in my pool remain high even after using muriatic acid?
You probably didn't put enough acid in it.
What is the common name for HCl when used to lower pH in swimming pools?
Muriatic acid
Why add hydrochloric acid to a pool?
Hydrochloric acid is most commonly known as muriatic acid and is used to lower pH in pools
Are glass pH electrodes compatible with muriatic acid or solutions?
Yes, muriatic acid is just hydrochloric acid.
How do you reduce water pH?
Lower pH by adding muriatic acid.

Which muriatic acid should you use to replace stomach acid in your science experiment?
HCl in the stomach is (around 0.5%) and a pH of 1-2. You will need to make a solution of muriatic acid similar to that. If you have pH paper, you can figure it out.
How do you lower the pH in a pool?
Muriatic Acid....Be real careful though.
How does muriatic acid affect wood?
acid can dissolve wood with its high chemiacal ph level
Is Muriatic acid good for pine trees?
Very small amounts of muriatic acid are mixed with water to lower the pH balance of the water and make it suitable for water pine trees. It is important to be careful and test the pH balance of the water because too much muriatic acid will kill the trees.
What is the purpose of adding muriatic acid to pools?
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.
Which is better to use to lower Total Alkalinity level Muriatic Acid or pH Minus?
I tried both types of acid. The pH Minus (dry acid) and then the muriatic acid. I did not have much luck at all with the total alkalinity (TA) dropping with the dry acid. When I used the muriatic acid the TA dropped within a couple of days. So to answer your question I'd have to say the muriatic acid. It is much cheaper ($12 a case) at Leslie's Pool Supply and probably cheaper other places. The muriatic acid was also quicker and had better results.

Any home remedies for lowering the pH in a pool?
Add muriatic or hydrochloric acid.
