Acid Magic (USA-128-1) is a 1-gallon buffered muriatic acid that lowers high pool pH and total alkalinity the easy way. It has the same full strength as standard muriatic acid, but it is formulated to give off up to 90% fewer fumes and it will not burn skin on contact, so it is far more pleasant and safer to handle. Use it for routine pH and alkalinity adjustment as well as acid-washing and surface cleaning. It is the muriatic acid you will actually not mind using.
Highlights
- Buffered Muriatic Acid: Full-strength, 1-to-1 replacement for standard muriatic acid.
- Up to 90% Fewer Fumes: Much less harsh to breathe than ordinary muriatic acid.
- Gentler to Handle: Does not burn skin on contact the way standard muriatic acid does (still wear gloves and eye protection).
- Lowers pH & Alkalinity: Reduces high pH and total alkalinity, and cleans or etches surfaces.
-
NSF/ANSI 60 Certified: Certified for drinking-water treatment use.
How to Use It
- Test first: Check pH and total alkalinity and run an acid demand test to find the right dose. As a rough guide, about 1 quart per 10,000 gallons lowers total alkalinity around 10 ppm.
- Add safely: With the pump running, pour Acid Magic slowly into the deep end near a return jet. Keep it away from walls, liners, and metal fittings.
- Circulate and retest: Let it mix, then retest before adding more. Avoid overcorrecting.
-
Handle with care: Always wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection, and never add water to acid.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is it for?
Lowering high pH and total alkalinity in pools and spas, and acid-washing or cleaning surfaces.
How is it different from regular muriatic acid?
Same acid strength, but buffered so it produces about 90% fewer fumes and is gentler on skin.
How much do I add?
Run an acid demand test; roughly 1 quart per 10,000 gallons lowers total alkalinity about 10 ppm. Add gradually and retest.
Do I still need gloves?
Yes. It is still an acid — always wear gloves and eye protection.
