    Default Muriatic (HCl Acid) - Price !

    Ouch, we have an in-ground 39' 26000 USG pool with salt system.

    Have to add acid once per week to keep pH in range, presumably as salt generator raises the pH.

    Normally buy my acid from Home Depot, today price is 25% higher ! ! ! Who says there is no inflation.

    Last week's price USD7.96 for box of two 1 gal bottles of 31.45% muriatic acid, today USD9.98+tax ! ! !

    Will have to try getting from Lowe's . . .

    Wow, it is typically $1.99 a gallon and just went up to $2.49 a gallon. I shouldn't complain.

    Actually went from $4 a gallon to $5, yep guess it's still cheap as only use 1-2 gallons a month . . . . so only an extra 20 $/year . . . . nothing compared to price of electricity . . . .

    Where do you get it for $2.50/gallon?

    I paid under $4/gal at Pinch a Penny pool supply(My friendly neighborhood pool store franchise) here in N. FL. They were cheaper than Lowes and Home Depot and closer to my house! (and they test with Taylor stuff so if the Owner does my tests I have some confidence in the results---just use them to check things I can't test for just to keep tabs on whether I ever have any metal problems)

    Last week in So Cal, the two gallon box was around $8 I believe. It was only $6 two months ago.

    Hi rmweden

    It was $8 per 2 gallon box (ie 4 $/USG) at Home Depot until I went to buy some today . . . .

    katy-texas: i've found that the pool warehouse store on mason rd generally has the best prices on acid.

    I find the pools stores are a little better than the big box stores on acid. I pay $3.49/gal in Central Florida.

    I just got a gallon from Lowe's. It was 5.49? (over five dollars anyway).

    It was the first time I'm buying this so I don't have any prior reference for price.
