How do YOU handle your acid?

[sailork]

I've got an old plastic pitcher. I put 12oz and 24oz graduations on the side. I popped open a beer and poured it carefully into the pitcher and then recorded the depth with a magic marker all the way around. Then I added a second beer and repeated. Then I consumed the beer.

I typically measure out 24 oz of acid in the pitcher and then pour it into a bigger pitcher 1/2 full of pool water. If I'm feeling dramatic I may pour the mixture back and forth between the two pitchers to mix things up. I always do this part while standing in the water on my steps so that any spills don't end up on my concrete. I tend to somewhat carefully broadcast the whole lot into the middle of the deep end. So far no holes in my shirts or my suction side cleaner. Probably due to the fact that I don't have to "graduate" the pitcher every time.
