Did not capture in your video, can you please advise how you tested the Alkalinity?

The alkalinity test is different than your pH test. The alkalinity test is done by the following steps 1) Fill the right side vile (the large vile) to the lower line. 2) Add one drop of the chlorine neutralizer, solution #4. 3) Add one drop (or two drops if color change is not drastic enough) of solution #5 (the blue solution). 4) Then add one drop of solution #3 at a time and between each drop swirl the vile. Repeat until the water becomes clear. 5) Take the number of drops it takes to change the water from blueish to clear and multiply it by 10. For example, if it takes 10 drops to change the color to clear, then your alkalinity is 100ppm.

5.5 seems very high. I'd check the sensor. Also try a hydrometer. It will indicate how pure the water is.

1) Follow instructions in the booklet - hours interval between output and duration in seconds and or minutes. 2) Push the test button and collect water in one or more outlets . Measure water collected to see if meets your requirement. Note tubes in higher elevation than the pump will get less water than those at lower elevation. 3) Change timer duration if required and test again . Repeat this until you are satisfied with the quantity of water collected per outlet. Note more outlets you have, lesser the quantity of water per outlet. 4) Run unit for upto 2 or 3 cycles , check if the plants look good or not . Change frequency and or duration as required. 5) Run unit 1 or 2 months before your planned vacation or leave of absence to make sure everything is working alright and you have no leaks as well as to check your bucket capacity required for your period of absence. Hope this helps. I set mine for 7 day interval for 45 sec for 4 orchids , 1 about 12 inches above the pump level and 3 about 12 inches below pump level with the pump in a 5 gallon bucket. This quantiy of water was good for 2 months and the alkaline battery was still working after 6 months.

Yes you could add calcium to the water to raise the alkalinity of it. Baking soda does this as well.

CheesyCam did some tests on these. You can find your answers here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abo-CgPjWo4

Ed jones beat me to it with his response. The type of water filtered varies in the field every time. In a lab, not very useful. But I agree with you there should be some type of standard test. Maybe there is?

Could be several things, camera not working or hooked up, how about common ground, use the 2sd video to test for bad input fault. Sorry can't think of anything else.

I did a test with just the water to establish an answer to that question... I would imagine anything other than a neutral starting water would skew the results. My water was neutral on all counts. I dont have any science to back this up as necessary but I did it for my own peace of mind.

you should use buffer,much easier than by hand. it removes a lot of oxidation. boat a boat wityh the sides all chalky white. within a couple hours, boat sparkled.

Same thing happened to me. Go to YouTube and search that question. You will find answer . I did it but forget what I did

I actually do not know, I haven't used the video feature very much, and when I have, I have used it outdoors. I will have to test this. I will post my findings after I try it out!

I'm sorry I don't have an answer. We actually found a company that leases an alkali water machine so we went with that.

Please elaborate. What are your test parameters? Are you planning to test under water?

Yes I just did with a digital PH meter, tested in a baseline solution of 7.0 PH and the test sample read 9.7 PH ... close enough .. enough said ..

If you can download the raw video... you probably can! If you can send me a raw video clip you have from the Polariod cube, I will try it for you! You can put a sample raw video here: https://dbinbox.com/mrrbrown I will let you know! Thanks, Randy

You might try a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) meter. It isn't a perfect reading of colloidal particles, but, it may give you better idea.

Did you calibrate with distilled water like it recommended? If so and it's still off I'd send it back for replacement or refund. All the chineese knock offs have tendencies towards really good or occasionally defective. There not put through riguous testing before their shipped. Mine worked great.
