My water comes filtered but its at a 5.5 witch makes i acidic.What would this filter raise this ph level to?

Hi My water starts at around 6.5 it take it to 9.5. The only think I want to warn you about is that you must keep track of the amount of water you put thru it. We drink about 48 oz per day, and it will last us about 2 month. But this is all determined by what in your water and how much used.

What is the pH of your source water? How is it being filtered? This Pitcher of Life filter can raise the pH 2 points which means 100 times. But your water is so acidic that this Pitcher would raise it to about 7.0 to 7.5 pH which, at least, is in the alkaline range.

At 9.0 that is a good Alkaline level. The filter should be change every 3 months. Also clean your Pitcher every two weeks.

not sure why you would want the water at 5.5....... and as for that, there are chemicals that can do it for you in a more controlled way, lemon juice can fluctuate a bit...

Be very careful about changing your PH. Do it in little increments . If it's at 7 just leave it at that

I have had this 10 months and filtered water is still registering at 000ppm for filtered water still just using the first filter. I also live in California, and this is used at work.

It depends on what the reading of your water is now. My water without reads 5.75 and it is 8.0 with the filter. It should be the last filter your water goes through.

Try to purchase DI water from water store. It is low cost and efficiency to lower pH.

The bottle says that the color code is light bluish for 8.5 and higer, so you probably wont be able to accuratly tell what the ph is if it higher. If your just testing regular things like your gardens water you will almost never get any reading that are higher than 8 or lower than 4 (or atleast i would hope so). Hope it helps a little!

Not sure about the removal curve, but previous ammonia levels were consistently high. Having this as part of a filtration process consistently keeps the ammonia low. If you have high ammonia, I would recommend a 25% water change, usage of an instant ammonia removal product and then adding this as part of continuous ammonia management. Hope that helps.

You are doing it right. This is a gravity filter. The water is purified by slowly passing through the black activated charcoal media. It could take up to an hour for all the water to pass through the filter(s). However, sometimes these filters get a little clogged up and slow down significantly. In that case take a sponge with a "soft" scrubber back and gently scrub the filter's surface. Rinse the filter with water and you should see an improved rate of gravity filtering. If your filter(s) have been used for a long while, and don't improve after scrubbing, it may be time to replace them.

Hi Sandy. I use filtered water at home using RO filter. I tried both tap and filtered water using this stick. No result.I tested the PH of the water and found no change. You can contact me if you like on jehadyam@yahoo.com

You might want to check whatever meter you're using. I have a digital pH meter that consistently measure the pH of this water over 10.

Vita Fresh Shower Filter makes the water into slightly acid water around pH 6.50~6.70 (Control: Tap water pH 7.35) for skin cleaning. -from UBS INC CO.,LTD.

I've been using it to ozonate water to drink and I've also used it for purifying various rooms in my home. I'm very happy with this product. I'm not sure if it does something to PH or not, I haven't checked.

You should be able to see the water level both in the filter and in the tank around the filter. If the water level is too low the filter will start making crazy sounds to let you know you need to raise the water level. You should not have to actually raise the "cartridge" , just the water level.

I've measured it as high as a ph of 10, but it depends on the state of the incoming water and how filtered it is before it hits the machine as well as the internal filter.

My filter came with a pH test kit. You can buy them at the drug store. That was never a problem for me. Getting replacement filters is a problem. Otherwisw, I love the filter.
