Thanks. The majority of my yard is desert rock landscape, but you're
right. I do have plants and trees :)

I would greatly dilute it (run a constant stream of water into the bottom of
the pool) and pump it out constantly. Otherwise the (still active) acid will
eat away the grout at the bottom of the pool. You may end up with a very
pebbly finish or you may destroy the grout in that area completely.

Thanks. I'm reading two pounds of soda ash will neutralize one gallon
of muriatic acid.

My acid wash will already be diluted (1 part acid to 4-6 parts water).

Be sure to add the acid TO the water, not water to acid. Wrong way =
violent bubbling/splashing and is dangerous.
