Auntyjack: SWIM didn't test its pH. SWIM picked a crystal out of the liquid and touched it to SWIM's lips and tounge. The crystal burned. A friend picked it up to examine it, and it burned his finger. SWIM knows ephedrine salt is bitter and salty, not burn-y.

OK first off usually the product you want is used to clean concrete.  Pool places have it for this reason because pool usually are built from concrete.

They did not replace it with "pH down" because that was never the purpose of muriatic acid, it was to clean concrete.. not as pool alkalizer...At least I am pretty sure..

Hell yeah, sounds like the friend aint to bright either... Be it caustic or acidic, neither are really fantastic for biological systems (eg your MOUTH!).....
pH paper is cheap and better than burns on your tongue your more than likely suffering from now!
