    I dip the jug in the pool and wash it out. I don't think there's enough acid left to cause a reaction adding water to it. We recycle so I don't want to send in a jug with any acid in it.

    I was thinking of doing that but didn't know if it would react violently or not. I saw firsthand what adding water to acid can do in freshman chem lab in college!
