Goes back my question originally (OP); neutralize the acid in a pool
of water. While I work I don't want etching acid sitting there, at
the pool bottom.
I'm buying 5 lbs of soda ash, just for this puddle of water.

Makes sense, but you don't need to over do the soda ash either. A too basic
solution will do a lot less damage to concrete and grout than a too acid
solution,
but both are harmful to finishes and your health if too strong.

I'll be frugal. An earlier link suggest two pounds of soda ash would
neutralize one gallon of acid. My solution will be diluted 1 acid >
4-6 water, spray on the pool walls and flush with a water hose.
The puddle that forms would not need much soda ash... enough to stop
the "fizzing". The water hose would be also filling the puddle at the
bottom of the pool... more dilution. Then I can pump it out to
sewer.Thanks for the comments.

If this acid has been in the bottom of your pool all week I doubt
there is really much acidity left anyway and you probably do have a
"ring" in the pool.

Acid reacts with lime, Lime is in concrete-mortar, acid eats metal
drains, maybe most pumps, definatly boiler linings and valves. Acid
can destroy anything metal. So go Clean it with acid tomorrow, and
reduce plumbings mechanical life by 90% I hope the main drain isnt
galvanised, thats hard to replace, often meaning a new pool, or
filling the old one with dirt as my neighbor did.
