The label on the bottle indicates that it can test up to a pH level of 8.5. What if the water has a higher pH level? Will the test be accurate using

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!

To tell you the truth, I don't know. However, you must know that it changes the normal ph of the face wich is 5.5 and you have to neutralize the acid as soon as the time is up in order to stop it from working any longer and to det the 5.5 ph back.

You should calibrate the meter with both the 7.0 and the 4.0 solution and you can store in the solution closest to the PH you are going for. Hope this helped.

I wish I could help but I'm not sure about PH fluctuations with this product. Since I have Cichlids that love a high PH I no longer monitor it since my water is high in PH already and they are so hearty.

This pH meter goes from 3 to 8, although if I remember correctly it does not claim accuracy above a pH of 7. There is no calibration required. However, since it depends upon the slight electrical signal generated by the electrodes in damp soil the cleanness of the electrodes is very important. They basically need repolishing before every measurement. That is done using a special polishing tape (Think ultra fine sandpaper, but do not use regular sand paper is it would damage the electrodes). I do wish they supplied more of the policing tape but more can be ordered. Accuracy depends upon cleanness of the electrodes, slightly damp soil (not wet), and if you water the soil to accomplish this you actually need to let it soak in for a couple of hours. Failure to pay attention to those details will alter the readings. I found this out when I failed to let the soil sit for a few hours and got one reading (6.5) and then sent off a soil sample and was told it was 7.3. I hope that helps.

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 ..

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

You want to remove the Alkaline filter which is raising the pH and really is for acidic or neutral pH water. You do not want 7.0 pH for drinking water as some mineralization has health benefits.

Yes its a great product! I would recommend 1/4 of the suggested amount to be used. First and foremost PH your water!!

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.

No, it does not tell you the amount of chemicals you will have to add since that depends on the quantity of water in the hot tub or pool you are testing as well as who makes the chemicals you use. Once you know the reading however, you should be able to consult the labels on the chemical containers which should show you the amount needed to raise or lower your readings a certain amount for the volume of your water.

The ph will depend on the water going in. also the ph starts higher, let it run for 15 min before you use or store the water as the ph and ppm will settle out. my water is 6.8 going in, and 7.5 when it comes out. hope this helps.

I would imagine not to much since your ph is already 5.5. its intended to get water probably to around a 6 or 7 but 5-7 is about the normal range. i haven't actually tested my ph with this device before and after so i couldnt tell you to be exact.

It is my understanding that the ph of this product is between 3.0 and 3.5, which is a level that would be effective for its purpose.

I have no clue, but would assume so, as it was recommended by my local hydroponics store. I have really good water, and so far have had no need to use Up or Down, just the test kit. Best way to find out if it's food grade is to email the mfr, General Hydroponics, at: email: info@genhydro.com Good luck, Mac

Test the alkaline level of the water periodically after a few months of use. You can find the ph comparison chart on the internet.

Depends,A year or so maybe.I would test the PH with another testing kit from time to time.
