Acid is used all the time and is recommended to clean a pool filter. I recall when my pool was new and the filter became clogged the installer soaked it in a five gallon bucket and stirred it with his hand. When I questioned him he agreed one should use rubber gloves..........he was most concerned about getting it in ones eyes.
If the other items work and are safe, probably best to use.
