Help! Need info on Muriatic acid!

Follow the instructions on the bottle (not the guy you spoke to). Have the pump running to circulate the water and test the pH after a few or more hours. If the pH is ok after that then you should ok to swim.

It is better to add less acid than you need because you can always add more if you need to.

Good advice from Hulla.

I would test your water in the morning, if ph is <7.0 add borax to the skimmer to bring it up.

Thanks guys. All I have are test strips and the alkalinity was originally off the chart blue and now its showing up a a more normal green. I was pondering draining half the water tonight, but I think I will wait until morning like you guys suggest. I'm a little worried because the pool is only about 3500 gallons.

Thanks!
