What else can I help you with?
Can you add muriatic acid and no phos (phosfree) at the same time?
No, you should not add muriatic acid and a product labeled as "no phos" (phosphate-free) at the same time. Muriatic acid, which is a strong acid, can react with other chemicals, potentially causing harmful reactions or reducing the effectiveness of the other product. It's best to add them separately and allow time for the first chemical to disperse before introducing the second. Always follow safety guidelines and product instructions when handling chemicals.
How do you shock a pool using muriatic acid?
You can't! Muriatic acid (~32% HCL) will not add any free chlorine to the pool and will not function as a oxidizer (Shock).
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
