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.

How do you lower the pH level?
liquid muriatic acid
How can the ph level of a pool be lowered?
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.
How do I raise pool acidity level?
If the pool is too acidic, pH is low, add soda ash (sodium carbonate). If it is too alkaline, pH is high, add muriatic acid.
Ph of muriatic acid?
Muratic acid (Hydrogen Chloride) at a 10% concentration has a PH of -.5. This is the concentration that is available for most houshold uses.
What is the pH level for acetic acid?
The pH level for acetic acid is 3... The pH level for acetic acid is 3...
How do you lower the pH level?
liquid muriatic acid
How does muriatic acid affect wood?
acid can dissolve wood with its high chemiacal ph level
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.
How much muriatic acid is needed to lower PH?
It depends on the pH level in the pool and the gallons of the pools, also how many ppm you want to lower it.
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.
Can you add muriatic acid to a pebble tec pool to maintain proper pH level or will it harm the pool?
Yes, you can use muriatic acid to control pH in a pebbletec pool. Added correctly (spread around the pool with circulation equipment operating) muriatic acid will not harm the pool. As a matter of fact muriatic or hydrachloric is the best thing to use but I suggest you dilute it 4 parts water 1 part acid for safety to you and your equipment
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 do I raise pool acidity level?
If the pool is too acidic, pH is low, add soda ash (sodium carbonate). If it is too alkaline, pH is high, add muriatic acid.
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.
