I have recently gotten a high range test kit for PH but have forgotten
something which I think is relavent to this issue.
I want to find out just how much the distilled water lowers the PH
but I have read that after a few(24?) hrs the PH in water goes down after you get it from the tap.
Can someone elaborate on this for me and give me an amount of time to wait before I do this test.
I have tap water that maxxes out my low range test kit. I guestimate it to be 8-8.4 PH but I was told to check it better/w a highrange test kit first. But I also want to include this lowering thing in the test.
I've been adding 2g of tap plus 40oz of distilled after taking out 2g water each week. When I test it comes out at 6.8 PH(in my 10g tank).
But I was told to check better/w a high range test kit cause distilled
water will not bring down PH that much.
I'd like to be sureand not guess at it so I bought the high range test kit.
But I also want to kno about the PH going down after a while in the tap water...so...
