anyone knows about the capacity to turn the water to a high ph level?

I've never come across anything saying that any of their filters adjust pH.

Natalie, I asked the customer service department at Big Berkey and here's their reply: The PH will be dependent on the source water PH. The berkey filters do not add anything to the water to increase the PH, they only remove acidic components that can result in a PH increase. With that being said, we cannot provide a PH number for you as an end result for your filtered water. Most customers see a rise, but there is no guarantee. You can purchase PH strips to test this.Hope tjhat helps answer your question.

Interesting question. I didn't know, but I suspected a slight increase. I tested tap and filtered water this evening with my color comparison pool test kit. Results in my area are, from the tap, 7.5 Ph, from the filter 8.2 Ph. When my pool gets that high, I add acid to bring the Ph down, it's better for keeping the calcium in suspension (we have hard water in Riverside, Ca). To be honest, I didn't expect this large of change in Ph. Thanks for pointing that out.

Apparently so. I have tested swimming pool water with it with some good results. It gave me a reading of 7 pH which is as it should be when adding chlorine.

Very easy. See previous answers & comments about pH testing. The water tastes very good, though it may be unusual for some because of the alkalinity.

there are only three modes of operation and no adjustments to be made. Don't worry about the manual, and the pH meter probably will not work well, if at all.

I used it in my pool with is about 8000 gallons and I have it at 94 degrees. It definitely raises the alkalinity and PH. I stopped using it and now everything back to normal. I read some articles and seems to be more for outdoor pools and hot tubs if that is what you have

I have one and it depends on the filter. I have tested the ph on different levels of flow in the water spout and always had a 9.5 ph except when the filter is on the end of life cycle. I have a city water supply. then it came down to 7.5 or 8.0

I believe so. There is a book here on Amazon by Dr Robert O Young called The PH Miracle. And he mentioned that his children follow this water treatment.

sorry, i can't help you with the chemical composition. I live on the West Coast near Washington and the water here is almost perfect at 5.5 or 6. You will need very little ( a few drops ) to drive the ph up or down. This product does work. Google " How to change your water's ph " and you will get lots of advice. If your ph is too high or low your plant nutrient food will sediment out and be impossible to be utilized by the plant. I suggest that you get proper hydroponic plant food. I no longer use this product but first step is to find out what your waters ph is.This will help. Good luck. sorry, i can't help you with the chemical composition.

I think a reverse osmosis system would do the trick. Not going to be cheap though. After using this culligan ilter for a few days in my shop I realized that is what I need. It gets the sediment out but not the dissolved solids and sulfur. My wife won't even wash her hands with it. My dogs love to drink it so it can't be that bad. But an RO systemnwould work.

It is not listed on the bottle anywhere, so I stuck my pH strip into the bottle. It came up with 6.25pH.

I would recommend getting an inexpensive alkaline testing kit and test the water from the PUR. If it tests sufficiently alkaline, then no. If it tests closer to neutral, I recommend the H2gO product. I use and enjoy mine very much.

Try it; I would think it would increase? I'm using it by the recommended ratio on the box; hadn't thought to check alkalinity LOL. Good luck; we love having coffee that is no longer acidic. Alkaline water is all we drink now; we're oldsters: 65 and 75, in good health due in large part to this water, I'm sure.

It is 86% baking soda, which will increase you pH. I would discontinue using a chemical that reduces your pH unless you are trying to raise pH. Pools only need three chemicals: Chlorine, Clorine stabilizer (CYA) NO more then 30ppm, and muriatic acid. Boric acid can be used to stabilize your pH as well, which will raise you pH, but as it is an acid not as much as baking soda will.

Usually you can download a manual onto your computer from manufacturer websites. But FYI...plug it in and it will do everything automatically...first cycle starts automatically, then it is programmed to cycle every now and then after that. 240 gallons of water is what I believe it holds. All YOU have to do is keep the chemicals balanced. Buy a chemical test kit, chlorine or bromine and acid/alkaline (depending on your water).

Hi Sandy, soft water is already a good water for human consumption. If your goal is to change the pH of the water higher than 7, then, you will need this device. This one is easy to use rather than expensive ones you can find elsewhere.
