    By the way, the CYA may be labeled as stabilizer or conditioner but will still say cyanuric or isocyanuric acid as the ingredient.

    Of course there isn't anything on the muriatic label http://www.wmbarr.com/ProductFiles/G...06%20J5807.pdf so I had to start searching and found out it's <25% hydrochloric acid http://www.wmbarr.com/ProductFiles/K...%206-10-08.pdf
    How many ounces of muriatic acid per 10K gallons to lower PH?
    Also the Aqua rite manual says the CYA should be between 60-80 ppm, I thought I read somewhere on here that it should be between 30-50ppm. The bag at the store said between 35-100ppm. Also the 12lbs called for in the aqua rite manual was to raise it to 80ppm.

    How many ounces of Muriatic acid to lower your pH will depend a lot on your TA--the higher the TA, the more acid it will take to drop the pH than at a lower TA. It also will depend on how low you want to drop it. With a SWCG, though, dropping your pH is going to be a continual thing, and the acid lasts a long, long time, so I would go ahead and get a gallon of it and you can go from there.

    Regarding your CYA, go with what your SWCG manual says. Each model requires a different amount, and it is designed to extend the cell life and let the unit work the most efficiently, so that's what you want to go with--and I believe the SWCG gurus on this forum say that you need to be at the high end of that range.
