Just know that the Acid Magic is basically half strength muriatic acid. You have to use twice as much to get the same result. You really want the 31% full strength one if you want to save money because the half strength one costs almost as much as the full strength.
Filling the bucket half way is sufficient in most cases. I wouldn't fill it to the top because you may spill some on the deck or yourself after you add acid.
Does PH reducer work just as well as the acid? The pool store sold me a ph reducer thats like a powder. It doesn't seem to be working im still over 8.2 i have no chlorine in my pool and was told i cant put anything in ubtil my ph is lower. My pool is black currently, please help.
Just got a brand new pool installed! Salt water pool... added the salt to the pool and ran the pump for 2 days, ph and alkalinity are through the roof! What do you recommend?
Turn off your salt cell and between evaporation of water & refilling the pool level back it should help a bit over the next few days. Test in every few days. For high PH, keep that water in your tester tube and follow the acid test on that water. Numerous of drops will refer you to your table for the gallons you have. Check alkalinity also.
The pH in new pools will tend to climb rapidly as the plaster is curing. This usually goes on for at least 30 days. Both pH and alkalinity will drop when you add muriatic acid. Just be prepared to check it 3 to 4 times a week that first month and keep adding acid when needed. Also, it's recommended not to bring your salt cell online until after the 30 day mark. A salt cell will also tend to drive up the pH as well. Use liquid chlorine for the first 30 days and then bring the salt cell online.
This is by far the best video regarding how much acid to put in and what it looks like.

Greetings can you give me the link or the name of the measuring cup you use in the video is it plastic or glass?
Do you leave the cover off the pool over night after adding acid to reduce pH?
thank you so much really needed to learn this
Glad it helped!
Greetings, which measuring cup and mask do you use to handle muriatic acid?
Do I need to lower my ph before I shock my pool? Thank you
How much water do you put in your bucket? To the top? Half way?

We prefer the liquid acid. It acts quicker and doesn't cause any cloudiness in the pool. How many gallons is your pool?
@@Inyopools mine is 6000 gallons
