Would anyone who owns this as well as pH strips be willing to test it and post the results here? I'm a little leery...

I've used this and the lotion not the ph strips. I used it with the NuSkin device which uses negative ions to firm and cleanse the pores The creams that come with the ie made for it are very expensive and marketing in my opinion. I've found the Miracle II Neutralizer and others great, natural and not expensive. I will continue to use them..Hope this helps..These products, also, I will add, are not new they have been around for some time. They have a site with lots of information. Just google Miracle II.

if you had a way to check calibrations at that range it would work for a while. A more resistant coating is formed above pH 10.5.

Hi Carla, Not sure if this is what you want. I bought it for testing the ph in our club kitchen dishes rinse water. Turns out this is the right one. 2 places to check for the right kind: local health department (they set me straight) and county extension agency. good luck

yes just this. how ever you should also use "PH Calibration Solution (PH 4.01)" to ensure your pH pen is set right.

I found the salt strips to be a bit tricky (compared to chlorine etc chemical strips). They take a long time to read, so I was just laying the strip in the water sample. You need to stand the strip up in the container so the bottom is in the water and let it sit. The strip was reading far lower than it should have when laying in the water vs standing up in the water. Perhaps you are having the same issue and it really is higher than 2000ppm. I started out with too much salt because of this as well.

I was told that a pharmecy would do it. I have not tried it. My readings seem ok.

I would maybe buy a new one.. it could work but I wouldn't chance it. I always drink the full bottle before testing.

You have to calibrate it. It was beyond me. But i had a friend who'd done well in chemistry. He was unsuccessful in getting a reading that made sense, but I blame that more on him, than the reader. I would look for a pre-calibrated meter for someone with limited tech skills. i needed it to test PH in pond water. I have several mud ponds. The PH is a little different in each of them.

I am trying it out there. No definitive results yet. I think it takes time and persistent usage. I try to be cautious around my eyes.

My filter came with a pH test kit. You can buy them at the drug store. That was never a problem for me. Getting replacement filters is a problem. Otherwisw, I love the filter.

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 ..

If you don't see a change, you aren't using enough. I have a 2 cup glass that I use and I add 12 drops and my test strips turn a dark blue green - which is what you want. Different places have different kinds of water, of course, and that might be a factor. Ignore that silly answer below - there is nothing 'scammy' about this product.

I don't think this product is laboratory-grade. I would not use this on anything but food products. I would also avoid very high or very low pH.

I like this product. I am not a chemist, so I don't know how I could attest to the purity. Apparently, from your comment, you have some way to ascertain purity? If so, why ask? I had merely heard that OptiMSM is a good product, and I have heard that this is a good company. You are on your own from there.

My strip were colored also. They do work. It is like the red ph liquid tester that only changes color when ph lower than 7.8 is present.

The best answer I can give, is that the directions included with the product are very good. I took it to a pill and spa store and they were able to get me everything I needed.I use mps, after each use, and shock occasionally. I use the frog strips for testing the ph and alkalinity. What I like best about this product is that I have little to no chlorine odor and the water feels soft. Be sure to keep up on all your chemical maintenance though, as this is not a once and done system. I'm sure it takes just as much involvement as other standard systems, but with no chlorine to eat away at the insides of your spa.

I am a new user to the product and find it really great. With reference to sulfur, I cannot comment because I have no knowledge.Why not take it to a lab and get it tested???
