Why Should I Reduce the Use of Muriatic Acid?
Muriatic acid is commonly used to help balance pH and maintain pool water balance in both residential and commercial swimming pools. As with any chemical, there are disadvantages to using solely muriatic acid for pool pH control. Today, we will take a look at some of reasons to reduce the use of muriatic acid relation to helping balance total alkalinity and maintain pool water balance in swimming pools.
- Muriatic acid is a volatile chemical that can cause various types of health problems when fumes are inhaled or when it comes in direct contact with the skin.
- Spills or splashes can damage pool decks and surrounding areas.
- Not very safe to store so it needs to be used right away.
- Muriatic acid lowers the alkalinity in the water, so Alkalinity Up must be used which also increases the pH counteracting the lowered pH.
