Acid Tank

We have a 30 gallon acid tank on an indoor (bromine) pool. What amount of muriatic acid can I add to the 30 gallons of water? 1 gallon? More than that?
You should check the manual for the pump that you have; they may require different types of pumping tubes depending on the chemical.

An example here: (DO NOT USE THIS FOR YOUR PUMP>>>FOR EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR IN YOUR MANUAL ONLY)

Page 4:
For chlorine pumps, undiluted swimming pool grade 15% maximum sodium hypochlorite may be used. For acid pumps, 32% maximum hydrochloric acid may be used. Black Norprene Pinch Tube is included for use with hydrochloric acid. See sizing for dilution.

Page 8, note to pump selection chart:
*Consider diluting chemicals for small bodies of water. Required pump size may vary when diluting chemicals. Size pumps based on dilution ratio and available pump sizes. Typical dilution ratios for muriatic acid range from 4:1 to 9:1. When feeding acid diluted 9:1, the acid pump may be the same size as the chlorine pump.
