Pool Magic Hydrochloric Acid 3L

Pool Magic Hydrochloric Acid 3L is a concentrated chemical solution designed to lower high potential hydrogen and total alkalinity levels in swimming pool water. This high-strength additive effectively dissolves calcium scale from surfaces, deep cleans sand filters, and removes stubborn mineral deposits from salt chlorinator electrodes to maintain optimal water balance and equipment longevity.

Technical Specifications and Benefits

• • Formulated with a concentrated hydrochloric acid base to provide rapid correction of imbalanced pool water chemistry.
• • Effectively removes unsightly white calcium scale and mineral buildup from pool tiles, plaster, and heating elements.
• • Acts as a deep cleaning agent for saltwater chlorinator cells to ensure efficient chlorine production.
• • Aids in resolving cloudy water conditions caused by high potential hydrogen or excessive mineral content.
• • Heavy-duty 3 litre container provides sufficient volume for multiple treatments or intensive equipment descaling.

Ideal Use and Application

• • Suitable for all swimming pools using sand filtration systems, including marbelite, fibreglass, and vinyl lined pools.
• • Always test the pool water before use to confirm that the potential hydrogen level is above 7.6.
• • Dilute the required amount of acid in a 5 litre plastic bucket of pool water before adding to the pool.
• • Pour the diluted mixture around the perimeter of the pool while the pump is running on the filter setting.
• • Allow the water to circulate for at least 3 to 4 hours before retesting the chemical balance.

Safety Precautions and Storage

• • This is a highly corrosive substance that causes severe skin burns and serious eye damage if handled incorrectly.
• • Always wear protective rubber gloves, safety goggles, and closed shoes when handling or pouring the concentrated liquid.
• • Never add water to acid; always add the acid slowly to a large volume of water to prevent splattering.
• • Store the container in an upright position in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from children.
• • Keep this product separate from pool chlorine and other oxidisers as contact will release dangerous toxic gases.

Frequently Asked Questions

• • Can I swim immediately after adding the acid? You should wait for at least two hours with the pump running to ensure the chemical is fully dispersed.
• • How much acid should I add at once? It is recommended to add no more than 500 millilitres at a time to avoid dropping the pH too low.
• • Will this product kill algae in my pool? No, hydrochloric acid only adjusts water balance; you must use chlorine or algaecide to treat algae growth.
• • What do I do if I spill acid on the paving? Immediately flush the area with large amounts of water and neutralise with bicarbonate of soda if necessary.
