Hi, couldn't find any muriatic acid but did get some hydrochloric. As I understand it muriatic is just more dilute hydrochloric and muriatic is all good for pump cleaning - so can anyone please suggest a water to acid mix ratio for the hydrochloric?
Bottle says 320g/kg acid strength.
Cheers, Steve.

muriatic is not more dilute. It is just the common name for hydrochloric acid.

dilute 1 part acid into 10 parts cool fresh water for use.
