Open the jug in a well ventilated room. Sometimes it makes smoke... don't breath the smoke.



As a precaution I add a chlorine neutralizer if I need to use the water immediately. If not I let it sit for a day or two.

I found some at Canadian tires , cause Home Depot doesn't not have the product anymore.
I was planning to fill up the tank with saltwater, measure the alk and then add the acid to get the alk at 7.
Is it safe to add the acid directly to the tank?
Is going to be nothing in the tank just some equipment, no live stock or rocks.
Going to add the acid slowly, as soon the tank is full
