    Yes, use muriatic acid to lower the pH. Please read the link about it in my signature.

    I have read the info, and now I am sort of nervous Only question I have is does the time of day I add it matter? Can I add the muriatic acid and chlorine at the same time tonight or should I space it out

    It doesn't matter what time of day. Adding the acid a few minutes after adding the bleach is not a problem. (Maybe 15 minutes or so should be fine.)
