    Default Re: How do you add muriatic acid?

    To avoid spilling the acid, I mark the gallon jug at one pint increments. I calibrated a paint stick with markings for each pint using an empty jug and water. That way I know how much I am adding without having to use a measuring cup.

    I add it slowly in an arc around the return but fumes never seem to be an issue for me.
