    Muriatic acid, diluted in some water.

    Add the acid in small doses - let circulate for about an hour and test again. Use protective gear when using it - like gloves, eye protection, and don't inhale it - I think I burned off all my nose hairs the first time I opened a bottle

    If you download mwsmith2's BleachCalc it will compute how much acid to add.
