If the pH is high, calculate the necessary amount of Muriatic Acid either through a test kit with an acid demand test or by using online calculators*.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2. Prepare the acid solution by filling a clean bucket with tap water, ensuring a minimum dilution ratio of 10:1 with the acid. Then, cautiously mix in the determined amount of Muriatic Acid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3. With the pool's circulation system active, evenly distribute the diluted acid solution around the pool's edge, steering clear of steps, beaches, swim-outs, and other shallow areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4. Keep the pool's circulation running until the chemicals are thoroughly mixed and dispersed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDirections:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eReducing your alkalinity:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1. Start by testing the alkalinity of the pool water with a test kit or test strips. If it's high, you can estimate the required amount of Muriatic Acid for reduction. Typically, 1.25 pints of 31.45% muriatic acid per 10,000 gallons can lower alkalinity by 10ppm, but keep in mind that other water factors may influence the effectiveness of this dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2. Before adding, turn off the pool's circulation and wait until the water is as calm as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3. Then, carefully pour the undiluted Muriatic Acid into one spot, preferably in the deep end, as the acid is denser than water and will form a concentrated cloud at the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e~ Be cautious with the quantity of acid used in each treatment to prevent the concentrated solution from remaining at the pool's bottom for too long. Factors like depth, water movement, and treatment duration will affect the dosage, but generally, 1 to 2 pints per day is considered the safe maximum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4. Allow the acid to sit for an hour before restarting the circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5. Re-test the water to monitor progress. Depending on the extent of alkalinity reduction needed, this process might need to be repeated over several days or even weeks. If the pH falls below 7.0, adjust it upward with soda ash (sodium carbonate).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6. After achieving the desired alkalinity level, proceed to re-balance the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eActive Ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e~ \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Hydrochloric Acid: 31.45%.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HASA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43385282494679,"sku":"HAS-50-115","price":44.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1298\/7095\/products\/HASA_Muriatic_Acid_4x1gal_Box_Bottle_0935-copy.png?v=1665367630","url":"https:\/\/shop.simplifiedpools.com\/products\/hasa-muriatic-acid-4-gallon-case","provider":"Simplified Pools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
