My home depot has kleen strip muriatic acid for 9.98 for 1 gallon in the paint section and pool section. Right beside the kleen strip in the pool section is a cardboard box with 2 gallons of HDX muriatic acid for 12.98 for 2 gallons. next time your at home depot check the pool section for HDX muriatic acid to see if you can save some money.
Thanks. They didn't have any in the pool section yesterday.
 
Actually I found a couple MSDS products for this product. One shows it as 20%, the other simply says < 30%.

I got it at the hardware store, I just added for the first time.
I added 1/2 the math suggested. Start out slow as was recommended. Hope to see a drop from
