Does anyone know how much Muriatic Acid it takes to balance the addition of 1 bag of salt?
For example:
8000 gallon pool: Salt at 0: Planning to add 5 bags to bring it up to 3000.
Last year the maintenance company added the salt and it took just over a month for them to bring the pH down to normal levels (based on weekly additions of muriatic acid).
They have a company policy of adding a maximum of 4 litres per visit.
I don't want to deal with adding the acid myself (it's pretty nasty stuff to inhale), how much should I tell them to add (accepting the liability if anything happens).
Thanks!
