I read about the muriatic acid and just wondering if there is another way or product to get the same result or if the acid is the easier way will like to hear it from someone that already did it or still do.
Thank you

Not aware of another product that will lower alk. I have used muratic acid in the past and it's extremely effective and easy to use.

Nowadays I just use aquaforest salt that I'd close to 7 alkaline though.
