• only use straight hydrochloric (muriatic) acid, do not dilute or use any other type of acid.

• do not store the acid container in the filtration shed unless there is adequate ventilation as the fumes will corrode any items in the shed - including your pool care equipment. store your acid in a secure location away from any hazards

• do not store the acid container directly under or near the tri power pack.
