Sorry, missed this one. If using vinegar I would not dilute it anymore then it already is for this purpose. After 24 hours I would check the pH and replace if it's become weaker. Which as the rocks dissolve it will start to neutralize the acid. This would be a much slower process then using the muriatic acid and may not be near as effective.
