  | Hydrosan had a thread that explained the pH swing in de-mineralized water seems the calcium acts as a buffer I always throw some tap in when I'm going to pH plain [no nutes] water also.....water that's traveled through pipes seems to contain more gasses than water that has sat for a while this isn't just chlorine.....[which everyone has heard of] but also gasses like co2 [which lowers the pH] so water that has co2 in it tends to rise [pH] as it sits and the same thing happens with high levels of calcium it either bonds with the hydrogen or releases it...don't know why just the 'apparent' effects I haul 1 gallon jugs to one of 200 coin-op water machines in this town. 35 cents a gallon for R/O

| Sorry I did not post in a timely manner. My meter is a PPM not an EC meter. I believe I got that information from Old Phart, and yes it was a few years ago.
