    Default How Much Muriatic Acid?

    I have a 12x24 ig vinyl pool. approx 10,000 gallons. My PH is about 7.8-8.0.
    How much acid should I add to bring the PH down to an acceptable level?
    Thanks

    Do you have the bleach calc?

    If not, do a search for bleach calc, a most excellent program that is a valuable tool written by Michael Smith, a member here.

    With it you can easily calculate what you are asking, as well as a host of others that are equally valuable.

    I do have the bleach calc. I did not even check to see if it did the muriatic acid calculations. I will when I get home from work.
    Thanks

    You're Welcome

    It does lots of other stuff.

    Top right of the screen.

    To tide you over it's 8 oz for every .2 PH drop for 10,000 gallons of water.

    More or less--a lot depends on the alk level. Just remember it's better to sneak up on your target (7.2-7.8), than to overshoot it.
