Liquid chlorine is another name for sodium hypochlorite, aka bleach. We tend to refer to it as liquid chlorine when buying it for pools and it is usually stronger than anything you'd buy in the household aisle of the supermarket. Muriatic acid (aka hydrochloric acid) is a totally different chemical. That will reduce pH in the pool, it is not used as a disinfectant. I personally recommend getting something weaker than 31.45% however, if you're not etching concrete.
