    Default Re: Help! Need info on Muriatic acid!

    In addition to what Duraleigh emphasized, you never ever add muriatic acid without the pump running. Some pool stores mention this, and it is very bad advice, especially for a plastic pool.

    Add the Muriatic Acid slowly and carefully over a return jet so that it will mix into the center of the pool.

    Follow Duraleigh's suggestion and keep us posted.
