Our pool guy comes in the early afternoon/late morning every Monday. I check the pool PH around 5 pm, and the readings are all right on.....so I would say five hours? That's our pool, though, I would get one of the PH testing kits you can get at pretty much any pool supply store.Hope this helps!Mrs. Gregory

AnswerOur pool installer told us to wait 3 hours after adding acid to the pool. We use the liquid form, so I don't know if the wait time is different for other forms.

Muriatic acid is toxic. You need to wait until all the water in your pool turns over and that depends on how many gallons your pool has and how strong your pump is. You are safe by waiting at least 4 to 6 hours with the pump running. And remember: Only add a quarter of a gallon at a time and put it in the deep end of pool.

You should wait at least 15 minutes before swimming after you add muriatic acid. If you can wait 30 minutes to an hour, it is even better.
