I've used muriatic acid in a pastic tub. Buckets are too narrow unless you want to add a lot of the acid. Don't soak long and be careful of the fumes!

Rainman says you can run the acid through the airline through the diffuser. Makes sense. I'm guessing feed it in via a funnel and then reconnect to the pump? Should neutralize quickly in the pond.

The thing I don't like about the membrane diffusers is they are next to impossible to take apart which would make cleaning much easier.

Someone needs to build a tool that grasps it so it can be unscrewed. I thought I heard of someone making one. Perhaps a marketing idea?

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
