Muriatic Acid Storage/Dispenser

[SJohnson]

I think that may be what I'm after here, ultimately. A way to measure acid. Do most of you just eyeball it? Or do you first transfer it to a measuring container of some kind??

Thanks all, I was very close to buying one of those pumps today, but actually said to myself out loud, "better run this by everyone on the forum" . . . Chalk up another avoided chemical explosion for the fine folks at the PoolForum!! I'm sure my wife is grateful, or maybe not, who knows . . .

I just eyeball and put in just alittle at a time and then test. If I need more I add it and test again. with practice you get to know just how much you need to put in.

I have a plasic measuring cup with calibrated markings that is dedicated to pool use, and I use it for the acid. I generally put the cup on top of my skimmer cover when pouring into is from a jug so if it spills I can toss the skimmer cover in the pool to rinse it off.
