will it raise the ph of the water?
223154
As I understand it, the only Seychelle bottle that raises the PH (any where from 8 to 9.5) is the "PH20 Pure". Presently, this bottle can only be bought through the JB ministry. (I imagine that will change and Seychelle will offer it through other means.) The "PH20 Pure" bottle filters out everything this bottle does--except for bacteria. I have the "Ph20 Pure" as well, and find myself drinking much more water. I love it and although I can not say that this water has increased PH--I am not a Dr. and make no recommendations--I do have noticeably less inflammation. (Back to you original question: I am guessing that the PH in this bottle stays the same in the water used to run through it.) Hope this helps.

Yes, the rad filter does! I have tested it with drops. In my experience, the ph level started above 8 when I first started using it and after about 4-6 weeks it dropped to around 7. I drink a lot of water! I've been very happy to have alkaline water from this bottle! In fact I recently ordered a new rad bottle. It was actually cheaper than a new rad filter.

It would mess with pH too much. If you are looking for sand go with African Cichlid White from caribsea.

It is only for adjusting the PH, if your plants have been doing good on tap water, I say they dont need it. Look at plant food to feed them- miraclegro or something.

It should suffice, along with regular water changes. I have had good results with this product with a variety of aquatic plant species.

From what I have read it should not but if the PH of your water is to high it may cause a small amount of leaching. This small amount is lower than the toxic levels. This is my understanding though there may be better research as there are a few different results.Sources:http://www.purewaterproducts.com/articles/activated-aluminahttp://www.debralynndadd.com/_blog/greenlivingqa/post/Fluoride_Filtration_using_Alumina/http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1989760http://www.ewaterfilters.com/

I haven't tested it. I realize that there are benefits from alkaline intake, and believe that the Santevia Filtration unit delivers close to the indicated pH... However, I would use this system even it it were neutral because of the quality of the product and the purity of the water. I love our unit and HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to all our friends.

I have no reason to believe that it will. I only use it to fertilize my blueberries and lower ph.

What is the pH of your source water? How is it being filtered? This Pitcher of Life filter can raise the pH 2 points which means 100 times. But your water is so acidic that this Pitcher would raise it to about 7.0 to 7.5 pH which, at least, is in the alkaline range.

Yes it will. Also, it will fill the water tank faster. It is worth the money.

Yes, just start out using less drops than is suggested. Add it to the water & shake well. :-) Happy Health!

Yes. Use RO or drinking water and run threw zero water filter. PH up to 7.4 using ph meter to verify.

I've measured it as high as a ph of 10, but it depends on the state of the incoming water and how filtered it is before it hits the machine as well as the internal filter.

Just add salt and other chemicals as needed. Salt causes the ph to go up, so you'll probably need ph decreaser once you add the salt, and ph stabilizer as well. That's about it!

A year or 2000 gallons, whatever happens first. I would strongly recommend you to get a PH meter too, that's the best way to know its actually working, it degrades overtime and the PH lowers. Also, make sure your flow rate at the filters faucet is less than 0.5 gpm, the higher the flow rate the less the water is going to be in contact with the media, thus, the lesser the PH increase is going to be.

Yes it will. The salt water system has paid foe itself twice over. No more chemicals except occassionally some baking soda. You will love it.

It really depends on your water parameters. But if you have really hard water (above 300ppm) this might not even work. Sorry I couldn't be more specific.

The ph will depend on the water going in. also the ph starts higher, let it run for 15 min before you use or store the water as the ph and ppm will settle out. my water is 6.8 going in, and 7.5 when it comes out. hope this helps.
