Muriatic Acid Question

[steveinaz]

Richard you just answered my question. I thought I got another "weak" batch of muriatic acid from Home depot, but it's only 14%---that explains it. This acid, FWIW, is marked "for pools" on the box.

Just an FYI---I went to Lowe's earlier this week for muriatic acid and paid $6.98 for a gallon of 31%. Later in the day called the Tractor Supply store, and they sell a gallon of 31% for $4.98, but they also sell it in quart sizes, if you don't need that much. The stuff has gone up since I had to buy it last!!

The batch prior to this was from Lowes and it was definitely the 31% stuff. I thought muriatic was muriatic, had no idea it was sold in different concentrations.

Color me "schooled."
