Muriatic does not react to water violently, so I would take the
previous posters Bull Shit here to bull shit, Muriatic FUMES,
Muriatic eats metal pipe. It wont react to added water as sulfuric
will, I use Muriatic, maybe even tomorrow AM to clean stone.

Muriatic acid can splatter, emit caustic fumes, corrode metal, cause
skin burns and blindness. It contains HCl, one of the strongest
acids. If diluted properly (adding acid TO the water), it becomes
less hazardous. Not a wise idea to have a bottle of it laying around.
