Short article BUT many interesting and educational comments from pool owners.
Muratic acid is another name for hydrochloric acid, so it is not the same thing as sulfuric acid.
No, conditioner is added to water to help mantain chlorine. Muriatic acid is used to lower pH or alkalinity.
i want to clean algi from pontoons on my pontoon boat,,can muratic acid be used??????
You do not use muratic acid with car batteries. You use sulfuric acid. You use about 35% Sulfuric acid and 65% Distilled (de-ionized) water
muratic acid
It is inorganic.
Call poison control. That is hydrochloric acid.
Muratic (not muractic) acid is a concentrated HCl solution.
Formula: HCl
Chlorine will indeed affect alkalinity. It will lower the alkalinity. If you add chlorine gas to water, it will create hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid. Cl2 + H2O <-> HCl + HOCl Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) will do the opposite and raise pH.
ADD MURATIC ACID PER DIRECTIONS. ALSO ADJUSTS THE PH New ans: There are no directions on a bottle of muratic acid. Muriatic acid will have little affect on the overall pH readings or can hardly be detected on most test kits. Possible too, lowering the pH may actually prolong the life of the chlorine. Chlorine levels will automatically come down naturally if left alone. And why in the world would you ever want to lower the chlorine levels if you have good sanitation????
Muratic acid is hydrogen chloride (HCl) dissolved in water and sold as a liquid
