Citric acid added to water is not turning red. Why noy

It's not the citric acid that will turn it red it is the red cabbage powder in kit.

Just had this same problem when doing activity #10. Add a scoop of red cabbage powder, and it should work!

If you are doing activity #2, you need to add the red cabbage powder before you add the citric acid.

Try it; I would think it would increase? I'm using it by the recommended ratio on the box; hadn't thought to check alkalinity LOL. Good luck; we love having coffee that is no longer acidic. Alkaline water is all we drink now; we're oldsters: 65 and 75, in good health due in large part to this water, I'm sure.

Well it's only blue litmus paper, which will turn red in the presence of an acid, so no chart really necessary...maybe you are thinking of pH paper that changes several different colors?

I can't answer as I threw the bottle away some time ago as I still contend it is nothing more that colored water.

The label says it contains citric acid. But there has to be much more to the compound than that. At any rate it is very effective.

ill check with my husband if he knows, but another issue is that we r not sure that the water is actually going thru the vitamin c casing. ours may be malfunctioning. we've used it about 3 or so weeks.

I have used it every day for 2 months months and there has been no discoloration. The water in the tube does not get very dark.

Thanks.I should have updated this. We've been using less water and have been much happier with the results.\Anyone who is less than 100% satisfied should experiment a bit :-).-jpr

Yes it does. Dissolve Potassium Bicarb in water. Dissolve Citric acid in water. Then combine to get the fizz.

There is calcium citrate in the product. The label reads "0.5% Min.-1.5% Max." Sorry. Good luck in finding something that works.

My package says: Citric Acid, 2 lbs, 100% pure. I don't see any indication of additional ingredients.

There is not. The color is the result of the two ingredients mixing in water. Whenever these two mix you have the color.

I've had a similar experience. I suspect it has to do with minerals in the water. Assuming it comes from your tap water, it should be safe. If you really think this a problem then you could try using distilled water. I'm not a chemist, but the heating surface appears to be Teflon or something similar. So I typically remove the discoloration with mild soap and water, the sooner after it's cooled enough the better, or with some vinegar. As for safe, I use my regularly and have had no problems.

Are you using hot tap water?, is the red light coming on? and make sure you turn it on to warm up. I do know using hot tap water makes a difference. Other than that I don't know....

It does not heat the solution. You need to use hot water when mixing the solution.
