Muriatic Acid Pool Calculator

Calculate Muriatic Acid Dosage



Formula

To calculate the amount of muriatic acid needed to lower the pH level of your pool:

\[ \text{Dose} = (\text{Current pH} - 7.5) \times \text{Pool Volume (Gallons)} \times 0.00013 \]

What is Muriatic Acid?

Muriatic acid, also known as hydrochloric acid, is used to lower the pH levels in swimming pools. It helps maintain water balance and clarity, ensuring a safe and comfortable swimming experience.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Dose} = (8.0 - 7.5) \times 10000 \times 0.00013 \approx 0.65 \text{ ounces} \]

The Muriatic Acid Dose is approximately 0.65 ounces.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Dose} = (7.8 - 7.5) \times 15000 \times 0.00013 \approx 0.58 \text{ ounces} \]

The Muriatic Acid Dose is approximately 0.58 ounces.
