Has any one tested the ph?

A standard litmus kit cannot accurately test the pH of water due to the chemical traces on the strip and the reaction process.....Seriously? Those chemical traces and the reaction process are EXACTLY how pH is determined. This is like saying a speedometer can not be used to measure speed because it measures distance traveled over time...... /smh

a standard litmus kit cannot accurately test the pH of water due to the chemical traces on the strip and reaction process. Having said that this pH does reliably test at 9.5

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 ..

It came with enough to get started. You will need to purchase some additional storage solution and calibration fluid maybe within a month. The pH meter is very good at holding calibration.

hey. um i would imagine so because its acidic. but i would not know how much more..but what you can do is use the test strips to test the acidity and just add drops until you get the ideal ph. :) hope this helps

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

Try to keep your alkalinity around 90-100. I adjust that with sodium bicarbonate. Keep the pH around 7.2 to 7.4. Keep the chlorine around 3 ppm. Be careful on the calcium hardness the drops go bad fast and Won't give you an accurate reading So replace those once a year probably all of them once a year. Keep your calcium hardness around 200to 300 ppm. If you've added calcium to the pool but you can't get the numbers up suspect that the drops are bad. I love the test I use one at home and one of the apartment complex that I own. JR

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!

Margaret, I can't find the PH on the bottle anywhere, and I do not have the pkg anymore. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Thanks, L. Sinner

I just read the entire label on the bottle, it does not say anything about ph balance 3.5 so I really don't have the answer you need.

justmix 1 half cup of ph powder to 1 gallon and then slowly pour into hydroponic res and flood tank to match ph if thats hoe your set up is if in single buckets then just the res.. i hope this helps out it did me

No: range starts at 6.2-6.5. Get a ph meter, I did and works great. About $20 bucks on Amazon

Raising or lowering the pH will depend on what your current pH is. This unit removes dissolved solids and other impurities to the 0-15 ppm level and brings the pH towards around 7.0, (usually closer to 6.8), but, again it depends on your local water. In theory, if you pH is above 7, it should lower it, if below 6.8, it should raise it. (I wish I lived in Theory! Everything works better there!) I recommend getting a handheld pH meter (available for under $50) and checking it, but with the water in Valparaiso, IN, the pH comes down by about 0.2 to about 7.4, so I have to add a few drops/gallon of sulfuric acid to complete the job, which is OK since we are also a little low in sulfur in the dirt around here.

You need to have a solution of known PH so you can test your PH metter and calibrate it according to instructions

No. A refractometer only measures the concentration of anti-freeze in a coolant solution. To measure pH I recommend coolant test strips (visit www.cooltrak.com). Another way to test for coolant acidity is with a digital voltmeter. Set to 2 volt dc scale, black lead to battery negative terminal, red lead touching only liquid coolant, preferably in the radiator. If the radiator does not have a cap on it, measure in the de-gas bottle (overflow or recovery tank). Anything higher than 0.3 volts dc indicates acidic coolant and time for a flush and fill. Hope you found this helpful!

pH on this meter is 0-8. no calibration needed, just cleaning with pad before use.

I tried it in liquids to see if it is showing the right numbers (vinegar vs water), but I am not sure if it is accurately shows the liquid PH.

I haven't tested it. I realize that there are benefits from alkaline intake, and believe that the Santevia Filtration unit delivers close to the indicated pH... However, I would use this system even it it were neutral because of the quality of the product and the purity of the water. I love our unit and HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to all our friends.

Never had any problems with ph using clay. As far as I know no one really has or at least ive never heard of it.
