Just buy oxalic acid powder off amazon most of this stuff is 95% water
Skip this and get the pool chlorine. Grab a two gallon sprayer and make your own, just use 1/2gal chlorine with 1-1/2 gallons water. I used it for prepping my driveway for pressure washing. Keep it away from delicate plants or rinse them afterwards. Then follow up with a coating of "wet n forget" and you will be set for years.

anyone tried this stuff (or similar) through a pressure washer? does it still need diluted prior?

I tried the attached to hose version it made no difference at all, save your money

I bought a few last weeks and it works great. I'm wondering if I can price match for the lower price

Quote from ScarletCrow315 :
Huh? How does a pw naturally dilute without anything else to dilute it?
If you look up how a PW works [emiltec.com], as in the "soap" tank, when you use the "soap" nozzle, the high pressure drop allows for a venturi [wikipedia.org]effect where the flow of water draws fluid out of the soap tank. So the PW is "mixing" a portion of "soap" with water that is sprayed. That's dilution. This usually only works with the soap nozzle (typically black plastic) as you want a high pressure drop (and thus high flow, meaning larger nozzle bore) to facilitate the venturi action. Lastly that's also why it's not really necessary to turn the tank valve off between sudsing and rinsing, the higher back pressure nature of the spray nozzle inhibits the venturi action.

The 10:1 is a value I googled as I didn't know it. That would mean that a gallon of soap (or whatever you put in that tank) would gradually be drawn up over the course of spraying 10 gallons of water. There are a lot of factors that affect that though. Your specific PW, GPM, pressure drop for the soap nozzle are YMMV, but the viscosity of the solution in the soap tank is also critical. That's why it's suggested you dilute more concentrated solutions. e.g. straight dish soap wouldn't work well because it's so viscous.

I have a Simpson PW that's rated for 3.5 GPM I believe, and the sump tank is 1 gallon, so for a 10:1 dilution, at full bore the sump tank should last for about 3 minutes of spraying before it's exhausted. I am pretty sure, if full, the sump lasts longer than that, so it's likely the dilution on that machine might be more like 15:1.

If you really want to know it, just put a gallon of water in the sump tank, install the soap nozzle, and open it full bore. Assume that full bore is the rated GPM for your PW, then multiply that number by the time in minutes that it takes to exhaust the soap tank. That number is your dilution ratio.

Quote from jonhern :
Too much CYA in the tablets which will eventually cause issues and need for water replacement to bring down the levels since it doesn't evaporate. Much better to keep a bit higher chlorine level with liquid and you wont have to do constant shocks and other BS that the pool stores recommend you do to extract money from you. I pretty much only use chlorine in my pool nothing else, with the exception of some baking soda at the start of the season if its needed. Follow the trouble free pool method and it lives up to its name.
I told my FIL years ago that bleach is bleach, and how to "convert" using tablets vs. whatever the cheapest bleach he could find, paying attention to the concentration. I don't know how much he saves by doing this, but one benefit of tabs is that they are self dosing to some extent. You can pour in bleach but it's more actual maintenance than tabs. The FIL is retired so he has all the time in the world for that.

Can this be used to clean bathrooms for mold and mildew?
same here, want to know if it can work in bathroom, or is it too strong/toxic for indoor use?

will it damage the drainage?

Well as a point of reference, the active ingredient in this product is oxalic acid. What else has oxalic acid? Bar Keeper's Friend [barkeepersfriend.com] (which has nearly the same ingredients as the Miracle product except BKF [barkeepersfriend.com]also has feldspar which is a mild abrasive and a component of pumice stones).

Both have oxalic acid at around 10% and a surfactant. The Miracle product also has a colorant and water (obviously).

So yes I would say this is acceptable. Just be sure to rinse well.

its not self dosing because the CYA level effects how well the chlorine disinfects which is why the common procedure for pools that use tabs is to do frequent shocking with liquid or powder chorine. With bleach you could eye ball it but with the TFP method its about taking accurate measurements so you don't waste chemicals with an actual testing kit not those strips you dip in the water. I spend about 10 minutes testing the chorine level, use an app to track everything and it tells you how much chlorine you will need according to how much cya it has, dump that into the pool, run the filter for a 4-5 hours and I am done for a day or two, at first it was everyday but as you do it you learn how often your pool actually needs chlorine. After a couple of days depending on the weather i repeat the process. The other stuff like CYA you test less frequently since they don't really change unless you have actual water change.

This isn't bleach. It's oxalic acid.
