This tool helps you calculate the correct amount of muriatic acid to add to your pool based on its current pH and total alkalinity levels.
Muriatic Acid Pool Calculator
This calculator helps you determine the amount of muriatic acid needed to adjust the pH level of your pool water.
How to Use:
- Enter the current pH level of your pool water.
- Input the total volume of your pool in gallons.
- Enter the desired pH level you want to achieve.
- Click on the “Calculate” button to get the result.
How It Calculates:
The calculator evaluates the amount of muriatic acid needed based on the difference between the current pH level and the desired pH level, the total pool volume, and an estimated reduction factor where 1 quart of muriatic acid lowers the pH by approximately 0.1 in 10,000 gallons of water.
Limitations:
This calculator provides an estimation and may not be completely accurate for all pool conditions. Actual requirements can vary based on pool chemistry specifics such as Total Alkalinity and water temperature, so it is always recommended to add the acid incrementally and retest the pH level frequently.
