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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuffered Muriatic Acid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-strength, 1-to-1 replacement for standard muriatic acid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUp to 90% Fewer Fumes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Much less harsh to breathe than ordinary muriatic acid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGentler to Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Does not burn skin on contact the way standard muriatic acid does (still wear gloves and eye protection).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLowers pH \u0026amp; Alkalinity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduces high pH and total alkalinity, and cleans or etches surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNSF\/ANSI 60 Certified:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified for drinking-water treatment use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/1943\/3260\/files\/sos_Acid_Magic_1_Gal_480x480.png?v=1787247948\" alt=\"\" style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTest first:\u003c\/strong\u003e Check pH and total alkalinity and run an acid demand test to find the right dose.
