Watch out for diluted Kem-tec Muriatic acid

Just noticed Lowe's is now selling Kem-tec 14.5% concentration muriatic acid instead of the 31.45% version for about the same price. Buyer beware.

If 14% acid was half the price of 31% acid using it would not be a problem.

The only problem would be having to haul twice the product back to the house.

My HD/Lowes used to have both, side by side for the same price. Then they stopped carrying the good stuff. So I went to Sherman Williams and they had full strength in a hoity toity bottle for $27.99.

I'm and Ace hardware guy now. If their price goes up, I'll stick with them for not fleecing me sooner like the others. Lol.

My local pool store I posted about sells me a case of 4 gallons of 31% for $40.95.

I still have PTSD from the build. It's too soon to return.
