Neutralize Muriatic acid

Drained Pool (pending)!

How or what can I use to neutralize Muriatic acid/water pool ?

I plan to acid wash the in ground pool walls. While I'm busy there
(walls) the acid wash will pool at the deep end of the pool.

I would like to toss/pour something into the puddle that would
neutralize acid; until I can pump it out.

Thanks!!

Any base. Bicarbonate of soda is cheap and easy. If the mix fizzes and
doesn't stop you need more bicarb.

If I neutralize the acid wash, can't I pump back into the yard? And
not send it down the sewer.

The reason I want to neutralize the mixture... as I work.

I would not suggest pumping into the yard. The product of bicarbonate
and muriatic acid is sodium chloride (salt) solution. Your lawn may
not like that.
