Where to buy muratic acid? and any specific kind? %

don't want to accidently buy the wrong kind, just want to have a bottle on hand for when needed.

Live in michigan so all the stores are here

I get mine at Lowe's, but many hardware stores carry it. Generally in the paint section.

I buy mine from the paint department at Lowes. 31.45%.
White and blue bottle, about $7

This is one item that I actually buy at my local Pool store. My Lowes and Home Depot carry 15% acid and charge around $10 for a box of two, at Leslie's Pool the price is the same but the acid is 31%. Twice the strength for the same price.
