    We are having a great summer with the pool. It looks great and is crystal sparkly clear.

    Ph is up to 7.8. I have some muratic acid but not sure what volume to start adding. Do I start by the cup or do I add by the liter?

    Thanks!

    You don't want to actually measure muriatic acid as it is too likely to splash on you. Just estimate your dose. I'd probably do about a quart and then after awhile, retest and redose if needed. Please read the info at the following link about using it safely.

    Since we don't know your TA, add approximately a pint - 1/8 of a gallon jug. Don't measure, just guesstimate.

    Wait a day, and retest.
