That's a good rule of thumb, but it doesn't really matter with muriatic acid. Unlike the case with sulfuric acid (the only other liquid acid commonly available to poolowners), the reaction of muriatic acid with water is not exothermic.

The dissolution of hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) is not as exothermic as sulfuric acid, but it is indeed exothermic.
