Run your filter for a couple hours. to remove any calcium grit. Then check your pH with either test strips or a test kit. If the pH is in the acceptable range, you are okay to swim. I apply the acid using a pump up garden sprayer to minimize waste, which reduces the volume of muriatic acid needed for your pool. I have found that you can mix the high strength 31.45% muriatic acid with water 1:1 in the garden sprayer and get very good results.

@FixItWithMe Месяц назад

Doesn’t damage your sprayer??

@ApacheRanch Месяц назад

@FixItWithMe oh it totally does. After a while, it will stop working.

@KubieQ Год назад

The easiest way I have found is using a Power washer of 2000 psi or greater..no scrubbing. Easiest less work!!! The only thing is that you need to test is the distance and angle when using the washer. You would think going closer to the calcium would be more powerful...but its about 4-6 inches away on an angle that starts to break it up. Its almost as if a certain frequency of the distance of the spray works. You hold it on a spot on an angle..and then wait..you can see the shape of the sprayer becoming less white against the tile. I would do a pass and then see there maybe another layer to do but much less noticeable. I would spend about 20-40 seconds on a tile moving slowly. 2 Passes to get it. There might be a part where it seems thicker...do a third pass on those spots.

@mattsoto4329 19 дней назад

Thanks for the suggestion! I think I will try to use a sport bottle (the kind you see used for cycling). That should reduce the volume of acid I use without destroying any sort of sprayer.

@ApacheRanch 19 дней назад

@@mattsoto4329 good idea!!

@mattsoto4329 18 дней назад

Update: This works! Needed to use a hammer to loosen up the huge chunks and a pumice stone while the acid was still working, but the results were great! The sport bottle also let me pour small amounts consistently over the same spot for maximum acid potency. Washed it off after I was done with each section by pouring a bucket of pool water over the spa walls.

@hootowl6354 10 месяцев назад

@@ApacheRanch Then brush it on. Try different types of brushes. You're using so much more than you need to. There are acid resistant spray bottles. I just looked them up. That bottle of acid you bought is plastic. That should tell you something.

@nova31337 7 месяцев назад

@hootowl6354 if you have to lower the pH of the pool anyway, I'd say just pouring over like he did is just fine.

@craigpendleton4912 10 месяцев назад

and if you aren't careful you will etch your grout and begin to loosen tiles......be very careful and make sure to immediately rinse the area well to stop the acid action!

@sm1tty031 2 года назад

great advice. I never tried straight muriatic acid. Do you think the steel brush will scratch glas tile?

@ApacheRanch 2 года назад

I haven’t noted any scratching but sometimes the glass flakes off. When I do it over in the future, I won’t go with glass block tile. It has a lot of imperfections that cause issues on the water line.

@adrienneteitelbaum5643 2 года назад

Thank you! Your tutorial saved me so much time. I do have a recurrence from last year in the same spot any recommendations?

@ApacheRanch 2 года назад

It will do that for a period of time and then eventually stop. I think it has to do with minerals concentrated in that spot leaching out. I have seen mine move to other locations and overall reduce over the years. I don’t have to make this fix very often now. Thanks for your comment!

@inaktiveshooter Год назад

Don't use metal brushes on tile. And if your going to use straight acid. Shut the water off, wear a mask and just use a paint brush or spray bottle to apply, rinse and repeat.. Then make sure to turn pool back on and correct PH. No need to keep dumping acid on it. And make sure water is above tile and plaster is not exposed when you do this, or you will really hate yourself.

@kennonwerner8192 11 месяцев назад

Is it safe to use the pool with this acid in the water, if yes is there a waiting time, or volume of acid to water ratio I should keep in mind.

@ApacheRanch Год назад

I usually wait 3-4 hours at least after adding any chemicals. Best to add chemicals late in the evening, no UV rays, no swimmers…

Hi, great video, I'm trying to get that same muriatic acid, hard to find the 31.45% hydrochloride for pools, where did you get yours?

I always get it at Lowe’s. Garden section. They have it in the paint aisle also but more expensive in that bottle vs the pool marketed version.

@djcashwell 2 года назад

will too many applications affect my dark pebble tech? any good suggestions on maintaining the correct water hardness levels?

@ApacheRanch 2 года назад

If you need to use acid repeatedly in a given location, you will want to dilute the acid that falls down into the pool as best you can. Have a bucket of water ready to douse it and dilute it before the acid tries to settle on the bottom of your pool. Any acid put in the same place repeatedly is going to have an effect on that location. As far as water hardness goes, there is not much you can do but dump some water and replace with new water that is less hard. If you have well water that starts out really hard, you don't have many options, outside of trucking in water from a different source. Good luck and thanks for your comment!

Having baking soda ready. Dousing the acid with a water/ baking soda mixture will neutralize the acid

Yes that’s the water-line scum that builds over time. Acid works and a scrub brush. Sometimes if really bad you would need to pay someone to bead-blast it. Good luck!

Can you swim in the pool after use the acid or should you wait?

You can swim afterwards assuming you have good circulation (pumps running) and you dissipate the acid. It's a judgement call but basically a small amount of acid will quickly dilute in the water and not cause problems. Thanks for your comment!

@SUBZEROUKS so drain the pool down below the tile and fix the grout? If you keep your system balanced and clean this should not happen much if at all. This is for dealing with a neglected pool or someone who went on vacation and didn't keep things up.
