How many drops of this would I have to put in a glass of water to make it alkaline? Has anyone actually tested it with pH strips? Thanks in advance!

I have not tested it with a ph strip but that's a good idea. I don't measure what I add to a glass. Perhaps their web site would provide some answers.

Alkaline drops can be used in various liquids, including tea and coffee. We have not tested the pH levels after using in these two liquids, however, I would suspect the impact on your daily intake and therefore should have minimal impact

The test strip you are using is not accurate/sterile enough to accurately test the PH of water...One thing that everyone should know about these (and other) pH test strips is that they work based on the TDS (total dissolved solids) that are present in the water you are testing. If you are trying to test a true distilled water (with nothing in it, no TDS) the strips won't be effective and I'd recommend you use a test drop for the water sample.

Donna, no, I do NOT believe that these strips would work. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, the pH of orange juice ranges from 3.3 to 4.2, and these strips do not measure below 5.5. However, there are sellers on Amazon who sell "full-range" pH tape (range 0 - 13) and also I just noticed a tape ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B005OD7AEM/ref=sr_1_9_olp?ie=UTF8&qid;=1414598453&sr;=8-9&keywords;=ph+paper&condition;=new ) that measures from 0 to 6, which looks like it would be PERFECT for orange juice.

I don't think so, the PH range on these strips is 6.2 to 8.4. These strips are very good but not for the PH range you're looking for.

Yes I just did with a digital PH meter, tested in a baseline solution of 7.0 PH and the test sample read 9.7 PH ... close enough .. enough said ..

No it does not raise the PH to make it alkaline. It just filters the water.

I just measured this three different times and came up with a pH of 7. That's neutral and makes it completely ineffective for its intended purpose. I suspected as much when I started using it a week ago. I would normally get a bit of irritation/sting after applying my previous brand of Vitamin C serum. I felt nothing after applying this product. Tested the exact same pH strips using my previous brand and they consistently came up as 2-3 on the pH scale. I don't know; perhaps I got a bad batch. Nevertheless, pH on a Vitamin C serum needs to at least be at 4 to be effective.

We use this, as needed, along w/ chlorine and PH Rise (alkaline), as needed, and that's it. It might depend on where you live. We live in Ohio, as opposed to someone residing in Florida. I'm assuming that you use "test strips" 1x or 2x a week. This will give you the most accurate reading. If you're keeping your chlorine level relatively high along with the alkaline in balance and the PhosFree (as needed), you shouldn't need anything else. We don't. Hope this answers your questions! PS: My brother-in-law is a chemist, and he recommended that we use the PhosFree. It gives the pool a nice, clear, shinny look! It also helps the chlorine last longer!

Wow its still acidic, non of the reviews are expressing the alkaline level only the taste. Seems like a waste of money!

I would imagine not to much since your ph is already 5.5. its intended to get water probably to around a 6 or 7 but 5-7 is about the normal range. i haven't actually tested my ph with this device before and after so i couldnt tell you to be exact.

hey. um i would imagine so because its acidic. but i would not know how much more..but what you can do is use the test strips to test the acidity and just add drops until you get the ideal ph. :) hope this helps

Try to keep your alkalinity around 90-100. I adjust that with sodium bicarbonate. Keep the pH around 7.2 to 7.4. Keep the chlorine around 3 ppm. Be careful on the calcium hardness the drops go bad fast and Won't give you an accurate reading So replace those once a year probably all of them once a year. Keep your calcium hardness around 200to 300 ppm. If you've added calcium to the pool but you can't get the numbers up suspect that the drops are bad. I love the test I use one at home and one of the apartment complex that I own. JR

Since the instructions are written in Chinese there is no way of knowing how long you're supposed to soak it. But since I was using it to test urine, I didn't let it soak. All the other brands of pH strips I have tried react immediately.

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.

I haven't used a test strip - I just know it helps cut the acid in coffee. Coffee is the only thing in which I use alkazone. I also drink acid reduced coffee.

It really doesn't matter what you are testing. the color doesn't really "absorb" it just tell you what number of level it is at. One thing you should know that the longest you stay with ph strip in there , paint may seem like it is coming off but really not. It is just melting because strip is probably soon to be old or stay there longer than supposed. This strip are high quality than china made based strips . If you are wondering wheter paint melting innterupting wit level? It really doesn't. I don't think it have anything in there.
