Best ph reducer

[birkesl]

I’m struggling to find high percentage muriatic acid here in central Illinois. The stuff I find is $15 a gallon and low percentage. Am I better off just buying pH reducer at Walmart or the local pool supply or are there other options that I should consider?

Do NOT use dry acid. The sulfates added to the pool water can damage your SWCG.

Get muriatic acid. Check paint stores, hardware stores, pool stores, Menards, etc.

Try Menards - looks like the Washington store has 275 gallons in stock.

Cheap too.

Thanks. Not sure what percent it is but I’ll check it out!
