How To Add Muriatic Acid To A Pool To Lower pH
UPDATE... I just read the new standard for pouring in acid is pour slowly and mix into the water.
How to add acid to a Swimming Pool
First I want to point out the Acid bottle has been rinsed and filled with pool water so there is NO acid on this bottle. Never put an Acid bottle on the deck BC it could damage the deck. Also I should have said this is how they Suggest pouring acid in.
I talk about the correct way to add acid to a pool. I also show you my way which is a very good way to add acid to a pool so your pH doesn't drop low. Pouring acid in a column doesn't affect just the Alkalinity and walking the acid doesn't affect just the pH. If you have a 10,000 gallon pool pouring 14 oz will bring down the pH from 7.8 to 7.5 with a drop in Alk by 4 - 21 oz = 8.0 to 7.5 with a drop in Alk by 8 and 27 oz of acid will bring down the pH from 8.2 to 7.5 with a drop in Alk by 11.
I just want to make it clear to new pool guys and Home owners. It is NOT the bucket method that makes the pH drop it's the amount of Acid you use that is very important. There can be MANY methods of how to pour in the Acid but at the end of the day the goal is the same. Do NOT let the acid column down to the bottom.
