That is what my conclusion is. My shipment of "Icelandic" spring water was delayed, and I had to put in another order for it, but that is what I'll be using from now on. Using the distilled water made it too acidic. Icelandic brand spring water is supposed to be at about 8.4 pH. I don't want it to be too alkaline, either, so see no need to go higher than 8.0 to 8.4.

I found while reading by chance an interesting passage that I have translated once quickly. Whether it is true, however, one would have to ask the respective waterworks once.

"Is tap water alkaline?

No, tap water has a neutral pH of about 7.0. Not because the state is interested in keeping us particularly healthy, but because the pipes would rust (oxidize) if the water had an acidic pH of 6, 0 or lower."

Source (only in german):

Waters and solutions with a pH value of 7 are called "neutral solutions". At least it would not be "too acidic" in that case.

To make CDS using the glass dual chamber bento box, I use RO water and add trace mineral drops till I get a pH of 9.0.

I use an electronic hand held pH tester to monitor pH.

Once I acheive the desired pH, I pour the water (400mL) into the larger chamber, then add 5mL each sodium chlorite solution and 5% HCL into the smaller chamber.

Cover and pop in the fridge for 10hr, then pour the 400mL finished CDS into a brown recycled H2O2 bottle and back into the fridge for storage.

Finished my first batch minutes ago.

CLO2 Offline Administrator Posts: 5560 Thank you received: 4393	Do you have CLO2 test strips to measure the ppm? I am going to guess that the ppm is about 1000. And, what is the pH and TDS of your CDS? What was the depth in mm of the reactor solution? If you haven't seen my post today , check it out. The following user(s) said Thank You: JimH1954

CLO2 Offline Administrator Posts: 5560 Thank you received: 4393	TDS is Total Dissolved Solids which can be minerals in the water. You can buy a combo pH + TDS meter to measure both. The following user(s) said Thank You: JimH1954
