The original question was the better of the two questions.
Is it ok to add muriatic acid while the pool is in use?
When is the best time to add muriatic acid?
You should either wait until no one is going to use the pool for a while. It is not a good idea to add chemicals to the pool while someone is in it. Best to add chem. first thing in a.m. before use - then let circulation distribute those chem.
