always add the acid to water.


You're spreading hearsay, not something you've actually experimented with,
right? What you say is not true. You can pour water into full strenth pool
acid (31.5 percent hydrochloric) without a problem.

Now sulfuric acid, that will blow up in your face if you try that.


Read the warning label on a bottle of Muriatic acid. It will say to add
the acid to water to avoid splashing.
