Klean-Strip Green Safer Muriatic Acid

[dubele]

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is ok to use "Klean-Strip Green Safer Muriatic Acid" to lower pH? This is available at Home Depot. I know I can, but are there "fillers" in it that I'd not want in the pool? Here is the MSDS:

Thanks,

You can but you will have to use more as it is not as strong as the regular stuff. Some people prefer it due to less fumes.

From the labels, I assume that it takes 3 times as much of the "green" MA to accomplish the same job as the old school MA. They are priced, in my local store, exactly the same. Therefore the "green" stuff costs three times as much. Not good.

Actually, at my local store, Home Depot has stopped carrying the old school stuff and I've had to buy from Lowes.

If you have breathing problems the "safe" stuff is a better bet to use.
