No, Use copper sulfate or root-x depending on what is allowed in your state.
muriatic acid should not cause discolouration to concrete it will eat it away though.
Muriatic acid can clean drains. However, it's not a good idea to do this because it can also damage them and keep them from functioning properly.
Try a mixture of 75% water, 25% muriatic acid (hardware stores). [wear protective gloves, googles, boots]
Concrete is very hard. To do any good in etching it you need something very strong. Muriatic Acid is the only thing that I have found that works. How strong you mix it depends on the concrete. Some concrete that was poured with a lot of water in the mix will need less Acid. Concrete that is smooth and hard will take more. Muriatic Acid is caustic. Read the direction. Use rubber gloves; safety glasses; and a respirator. For a large project, such as a driveway or Patio. Use a plastic garbage can. Fill with 10 gallons of water. Carefully pour one gallon of Muriatic Acid into the water and mix with a wooden paddle. Take a plastic watering can and fill it with the solution. Wet your concrete with a water hose, then carefully pour the Acid solution onto the concrete. It will bubble and foam. This is the acid etching the concrete. Let it set for about 15 min. Scrub with a stiff push broom, and then rinse with a water hose. The acid will kill plants and grass. Steve Schillinger sds@knology.net = Safety Note = Make sure you put the water in the garbage can first--adding water to acid is a sure way to get splashed with concentrated acid.
In the old days this was a common treatment-- It is now against the law-- But it killed the roots of trees on the drain filed and helps restore a little use to the drain field.
Muriatic acid can be effectively used to clean calcium deposits, but extreme caution should be used. Only use it if you have plastic plumming, as it is corrosive to metal pipes used generally in older homes. Muriatic acid will burn skin and if it gets in the eyes, it can cause blindness. When using muriatic acid to clean calcium deposits in toilets, the results will be immediate. Your toilets will look brand new!
No
It will remove pigeon feces
Yes. Hydrochloric acid and muriatic acid are the same thing. Muriatic acid is just the old name for it and isn't used much anymore.
Muriatic acid, also known as hydrochloric acid, is a clear, colorless liquid.
No, muriatic acid is hydrochloric acid.
I think it might remove rust AND pipes. Be careful with that stuff.
Copper sulfate is a root-killing agent that can penetrate deep into the soil to target the roots of plants. Muriatic acid, on the other hand, is more commonly used to clean and etch surfaces, and it is not specifically designed to kill roots. Additionally, the use of copper sulfate for this purpose is generally considered safer and more environmentally friendly compared to muriatic acid.
the chemical formula for muriatic acid or Hydrochloric acid is HCL.
Hydrochloric acid is a common name for muriatic acid.
muriatic acid should work fairly well
Drain pool and clean with muriatic acid
