Hi,
I just got my pool looking good again. From all the rain that we had,
and no swimming, the pool turned a bright shade of green. It almost
looked
like a pond instead of a pool. I put two packages of shock in it, and
some
PH, and it's just about cleared up. Problem is, when I tested the water,
now it might have too much PH, the test kit said to add acid. My question
is, what household product can I use to put more acid in the water. I
remember someone posted a sight one time, that listed household products
could be used instead of buying those expensive ones from the pool stores.
Can anyone help me?

You might try muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid) from a hardware store like
Home Depot but be careful, its strong stuff.
I'm not sure what pool store supplies but look at label, it may be the same
acid.
