So, if you are going to use the really nasty stuff, like muriatic,

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.

Speaking of spreading hearsay...

You go right ahead and do that if you want, but advising others of the
(supposed) safety of a practice that every chemistry instructor and laboratory
safety guide warns against, is stupid and irresponsible.
