what does it raise the pH to of tap water?

I do not know i never tested the water. I would get ahold of zen water and ask them

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.

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

it doesn't it change the PH. Zerowater filters your tap water and removes the undissolved solids. Gives your water a really good taste

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.

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.

The TDS of my tap water is 430ppm; all those minerals would surely shorten the lifespan and effectiveness of this unit. Hence I use RO water [I have a unit which I normally use for my aquariums] which has a TDS of below 10ppm. You can buy distilled water although not sure how costly that is in the longrun.

Tap water has minerals, and as the water evaporates to steam, minerals are left and could clog up the appliance.

Youre right, the PH range is 0-14. the picture reads 18.3 because the meter was turned on without being submerged in anything.

Thank you for asking Linda; the pH can be adjusted to a range between 8.5 and 10. Please feel free to call: 970-485-5955 or visit us at WaterForHealthUSA.com Thank you for your interest. Bert Middleton

From my personal experience. It only affects my PH. I use Fluval can filters and I haven't noticed a change in the flow of the water being filtered through it using this product.

I can't say for sure but I don't think so. It's more for chlorine and sediments. It improved the taste of our tap water.

it will raise the ph in pools making it more alkaline.. if your pool is acidic add some baking soda.. dont add too much or it will turn your pool cloudy and also it will clog your pool filter .. I added some once and added it to my skimmer but it didnt dissolve fast enough and went directly to my filter and clogged it up.. I put the whole box at once so add small amounts at a time! Shawn

i have a ph of 7.8 out of tap and i use a regular net bag of about 1/3 of the box i have a 90 gallon tank and it lowered my ph to 6.5 within a week ,but it will fluctuate if your doing regular water changes ,if your looking for something more stable i purchased an ro filter online for 50 dollars ioo gallon a day its much easier than trying to keep a steady ph with peat imo !!! good luck

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.

It raises it, but not like sodium carbonate does because it also contributes hydrogen ions. Use baking soda to lift the total alkalinity of the pool. In combination with HCL it will buffer the pool against ph bounce. To just lift the pH quickly use sodium carbonate. I'm using the baking soda to adjust Total Alkalinity on a newly filled pool and the ten pound bag is an ideal way to buy for this sort of use.

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.

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.
