Klean Strip Green Muriatic Acid

[ccoager]

I just wanted to verify that the Klean Strip Green Muriatic Acid sold by Home Depot is 31.45% concentration. Does anyone know?

It is not the same as the MA I get at home depot. And in it's description it says something about not being like "regular" MA. This is the MA I get. http://www.homedepot.com/buy/smart/case ... 97393.html

They list it as <25% muriatic acid. Presumably the acid concentration varies somewhat from batch to batch. Assuming it is 22% is probably close enough.

I checked that link and it is not sold at any Home Depot in a 50 mile radius for me. Where else can I buy the 31% concentration of Muriatic Acid?

I get it at Lowes.

 

[ccoager]

Got a link? I can't find it on Lowes either.

[ccoager]

Yeah that's the same one Home Depot sells but apparently its not 31% concentration.

 

[TripleB4me]

It's 31.45%

 

[JasonLion]

When I follow the Lowes link, I see Crown Gallon Muriatic Acid, which is 31.45%, and Kem-Tec which is 29%.

 

[TripleB4me]

Yes, Crown Gallon Muriatic Acid is the one I use and was referring too.

 

[ccoager]

Neither of those are available in my area. Any other suggestions?

 

[TripleB4me]

An ACE hardware store would probably have it.

 

[ccoager]

Tried that also but no luck. Probably has to do with New York state. Any other ideas or should I try buying online?

 

[TripleB4me]

Local pool store or someplace that sells tile supplies?

 

[ccoager]

Not here. Here is a pH decrease powder, not sure how to do the math though.

[TripleB4me]

That's a dry acid. Pool calculator tells you how much to add to drop your pH knowing your current level.

 

[JasonLion]

Paint stores often carry muriatic acid. It is used to clean concrete before painting.

I found the 31% Muriatic Acid at Leslie's. Thanks everyone!

Crown Muratic Acid Next???

Sorry to bring this old thread back!!! I could not get my normal MA from Tractor Supply. So I sent my kid to Lowes and he came back with Crown Muratic Acid Next.... Don't care about strength... Simply want to make sure before I open that it is SAFE to use in the pool... As in is it only Muratic acid? The lowes spec information says not safe for Salt pools which is why I ask.....
