That Acid is called Muriatic Acid.
You put it in your swimming pool to lower the PH of the water.
At lower PH Levels, the chlorine you use to sanitize the pool is more active, as a disinfectant.
You MUST be careful not to put too MUCH Muriatic Acid in your pool!
PH that is too low will create potentially deadly fumes, so test your water.
Low pH is corrosive to plaster and metal pool parst.

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).
How long does it take for us to get in a pool if you put acid?
only about an hour if you are using baquacil
How much acid added to a 27000 gallons pool after refilling?
To determine the amount of acid needed for a 27,000-gallon pool, you would first need to test the pH level of the pool water. Then, based on the current pH level and the desired pH level, you can calculate the amount of acid required using a pool calculator or consulting with a pool professional. It is important to follow safety guidelines and manufacturer instructions when adding chemicals to your pool.
What is in liquid pool acid?
liquid pool acid is Muriatic acid or more commonly know as Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
What do you do after using acid in pool?
suck all the water out and keep it out for 24 hrs and put new water in
What is the chemical name and chemical formula for pool acid?
Pool acid is commonly known as hydrochloric acid, with the chemical formula HCl.
What are the ingredients for pool acid?
Pool acid typically refers to muriatic acid, which is a common acid used to lower the pH levels in swimming pools. The main ingredient is hydrochloric acid. It is important to handle muriatic acid with care as it is highly corrosive and should be diluted before adding it to the pool water.
Can you use vinegar instead of muriatic acid in your pool?
Not recomended, it would take to much since vinegar is a lot weaker as acids go (hence humans can safely consume it) and there is other organic related compounds that are not good for the pool.
Add acid in pool?
acid is added to a pool when alkalinity is too high. Take a sample of pool water to your pool shop and have it tested by them. they will tell you what is required.
How long to wait to swim after adding hydrocloric acid to pool?
Acid dilutes very fast, add it to your pool (while running to help circulation) and you should be ready to swim in about 30min. Best way to add it is by using a 5gal bucket, fill it so that you have room to add the acid then walk around the pool pouring into the edges of the pool. This will keep from damaging your plaster especially if your pool has dark plaster or pebble tech plaster. Hope you found this helpful..
Lower PH in pool with household products?
You lower the Ph by using Muriatic acid VERY carefully. This acid and it's vapour is dangerous. With the pool pump ON, carefully add 1/4 gallon at a time, waiting 6 hours then testing.
Does pool acid kill chlorine?
No, pool acid does not kill chlorine. Pool acid, usually in the form of muriatic acid, is used to lower pH levels in pool water. Chlorine is a disinfectant that is added to pool water to kill bacteria and other contaminants.
