What is the ph level of the water after treating it with this product?

I use 5 times a day. And every once in a half glass of water I put 3 drops PH

I used a pH reagent test liquid against an 8 oz glass of reverse osmosis water with mineral filter on it, with 3 drops of AlkaZone on it, and it reads about a 9.0. It works.

After adding 3 gtts of alkazone gtts in 8 oz of bottled water PH turns to 8 to 9

it depends on how many drops you put in it. we are keeping it at the beginning of the purple bar b/c super purple we don't' need and also helps saving some drops for later. we did the test at the beginning when we first got the drops. (purple is alkaline). their recommendation was going to be super alkalined. i hope this helped

I have a pH meter that I use for wine making. It has a resolution of 0.01 pH, and an accuracy of +/- 0.01. I calibrate it before every use so I am confident of the reading. The pH of the water form the pitcher when new was just over 9 - about 9.03. After 4 months of use with the same filter is is now reading about 8.79. We use two to three pitchers of water per day.

A Spa or Swimming Pool should be PH 7.4-7.6 if your PH is too low then adding "washing soda" or Na2CO3 is the exact same as buying PH Increaser at twice the price from Bioguard or another pool company... Pools should also have a "Total Alkalinity between 125-150ppm if it's too low ... you add a product called "sodium hydrogen carbonate" aka sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or "Baking Soda" ... lastly if your PH is too High.. you add Sodium bisulfate, aka sodium hydrogen sulfate NaHSO4 commonly listed as "PH Decreaser" .... Pool companies try to "hide" this to make a profit by listing "sodium hydrogen carbonate" on the label instead of saying "go buy baking soda" at 1/2 the price at the local grocery store...

I turned on the pump, added plants and waited a couple of days. I prefer the Jungle Brand water conditioner. It says on the lable it neutralizes chlorine and chloramine. If concerned put in a couple of 20 cent goldfish, and after a week or so the water will clear. Most pet stores, Petco etc will take back the fish..and guarantee them for a few weeks....P

Given your results I suspect you are using pH paper or test strips which can be off by a full point or more when testing RO water because the water is so pure. I suggest you get a good digital pH meter to test the water's pH. Remember to test the water in a way that represents normal use. A brand new system will test more acidic than a system that has broken in and is fully pressurized. Using a TDS meter is an indirect way to infer that the system working correctly. Test the water as it leaves the RO membrane and at the RO faucet, and then compare those to the tap water. Remember, the system adds calcium and magnesium minerals which both increase the pH, and increase the TDS.

The PH does fluctuate, but I mever losses a fish while I was using this product.

Great name! Thanks for the question. The ph range is from 6.0-10(in the red) - end padThis test kit is nice and easy, tests for Bacteria, lead, pesticide, nitrates and PH. I have been testing evrey 2-3 months since I am in PA along the fracking belt and recently my township has converted to Philadelphia public water, no more well water. All the best!

This product could slightly change the pH but doesn't contain any components that act as a pH buffer. It is recommend once the nutrition solution is mixed, to check/adjust the pH accordingly.

I have only used the powder but my friend bought the liquid and as far as I can tell I would say figure around 20% of what you are using on liquid. I use 1 of the large scoops for 5 gallons of water and my starting ph is much higher than his.

Since you can't see the level, I just simply checked the amount left when the bottle felt light. Another is that you will see the spray looking more like just water as the solution is used up. Be advised, the mix will just about last long enough to do one side of a medium sized home. Hope that helps.

Well, the packet of ph substance says "make up 250 ml" on the one I have. I think that's what I did.... But it's been awhile.

That shouldn't be a problem. Set the unit on a higher alkaline level and don't run the water real fast. It gives the machine more time to raise the pH.

I would not do that. Not sure how this stuff affects ph etc... Use aquarium specific materials.

Test the alkaline level of the water periodically after a few months of use. You can find the ph comparison chart on the internet.

As Mark said NO, it is fixed at C. However, I only use the temperature readings to make sure my calibration solution and my rinsing solution are at the same temp. Speeds up calibration. You have to press the C button to get the reading and as soon as you let go it goes back to pH. My cell phone has a C to F conversion when necessary.

NO! I just rinsed with cold water for several minutes. So technically the acid was still doing its thing. Use water/baking soda mixture to stop it quickly. Btw just used this for 3rd time, left on little longer than previous two, & SO pleased with results. Better each time!

There should be a packet of powder that you add to distilled water. Then turn on PH meter, and dip into solution. Hit and hold CAL until it flashes. Then pick the number that is closest to the solution you will be testing (4.0-acidic 7.0alkaline 10.0) then hit ENTER. When it's calibrated it will display END. Repeat once a month to ensure PH meter reads correctly
