Re: Water ?

distilled water should have a PH of 7.0. To my knowledge RO systems just strip all of nutes and chemicals out of h2o and takes the PPM down to 0 ideally but, I guess under 5o ppm would be about right. Don;t think it affects PH tho., Do u have reference solution to store ur meter in and calibrate it? If not its highly recommended.

Actually I bought some of that Culligan water the other and was wondering if it was even RO, it didnt say on the machine at the store. It had UV nozzle at the end if this helps anyone identify. .

My tap is around 9 (yea... really high... call my local water dept.... been there... spun my wheels on that). Bottled water I get usually comes in at 7. Just for the record, my tap PPM is about 200.
