>STANDARD HOTEL USING muriatic acid to dissolve human bodies?
This doesn't smell right (no pun intended)
excerpt:
In follow-up interviews, Annette O'Donnelly, the FBI agent discovered that the two tanks contained chemicals that were left over from when the pool operated on a different cleaning system. She interviewed two supervisors and a graveyard-shift maintenance employee who ultimately acknowledged pumping the contents of the two tanks into a drain, according to court documents. Running water from a hose was used in an attempt to dilute the discharge.

I have had a pool (50K gal) and know pool chems. I can understand purchasing chems in bulk, but to say the chems were no longer needed because of different cleaning system makes liddle sense. For example, you still need supplemental chlorine and acid even if they switched to a salt system. Switching to salt also makes liddle sense considering the bulk amount of salt that would need to be moved and stored up on the top floor. I have heard of oxone systems, but those are usually used as a supplement system on very large industrial pools. Also, chlorine is usually sold as a powder and muriatic acid (37% HCL pool grade) is usually sold in 1 gallon jugs (you don't need much to adjust the pH of a large pool), certainly not 55 gallon cans!
AN investigation of the effects of household chemicals on five different human tissues (bone, tooth, hair, fingernails, and skin/muscle/fat) with six different corrosive agents found that hydrochloric acid was the most destructive agent, consuming most tissues within 24 h.
