ACID Magic User Friendly Muriatic Acid Alternative with 90% Less Fumes

Acid Magic is a safe alternative to muriatic ccid with 90% less fumes and contains a proprietary ingredient that prevents buns to your skin. It is Hydrochloric Acid but it has the same strength as 31.45% muriatic acid. There are many applications for pool and spa use as well as household use.



Here are some of the benefits of using Acid Magic:

Up to 90% less fumes than traditional muriatic acid.
  • Buffering agents prevent burns to intact skin.
  • Clean, clarify and etch like full strength 20° Baume, 31.45%, muriatic acid.
  • Use ACID Magic exactly as you would standard muriatic acid.
  • Phosphate free.
  • Great for Salt Cell cleaning.
  • Does not contain urea hydrochloride.
  • ACID Magic is certified by NSF to NSF/ANSI Standard 60 for use as a drinking water treatment chemical.

Acid Magic is great at cleaning pool salt cells. You would still use the 4 to 1 ratio or greater just like muriatic acid. Four parts water one part acid, or even a weaker mixture like 6 to 1. It is pretty powerful stuff and takes the scale off just like muriatic acid but with really no fumes and no danger of burning your skin.

With a shelf life of 5 years or more it is great to have a gallon on hand for salt cell cleaning if you have a pool with a salt water generator. It can also be stored safer than muriatic acid as it doesn't produce the same corrosive fumes. This is great if your a pool service professional and do a lot of salt cell cleaning on your pool route.

If you have pets around your pool this is a great way to add acid to your pool without your pets breathing in the harmful fumes of muriatic acid. Great for a small above ground pool or to adjust the pH in a Kiddy pool.  You would add the same amount of Acid Magic to your pool when lowering the pH as it has the same strength of 31.45% muriatic acid.

You can find Acid Magic for around $10 for a gallon at your local pool supply or hardware store. Here is a link from the manufacturer website with the national distributors and local distributors in your area.
