Muriatic Acid Questions

[waterbear]

Acid should not be poured into the skimmer. The low pH can damage filter cartridges, pumps, heaters, etc. It is better to pour it into the stream of a return inlet so the moving water mixes it into the pool or by 'broadcasting' it across the water (carefully tossing the dilute mixture across the water surface from the bucket). Brushing after adding it will help mix it. This goes for both muriatic acid and dry acid.

Ace Hardware carries muriatic acid in N. Fl. They might carry it in NJ (I am originally from Millburn!)
