Can I use RO water to mix the calibration formula instead of distilled water?

Reverse Osmosis leaves more dissolved solids in the water than distilled water. The dissolved solids will affect the actual pH of the buffering solution and therefore affect the accuracy of your meter calibration. For the best calibration and accuracy, it is best to use distilled or deionized water when using powdered buffering agents. As an alternative, you may want to use a premixed bottled buffering solution and not have to mix anything.

Yes, you mix it with water - the proportion to the concentrate is marked on the directions on the bottle.

Since salt is TDS and it brings TDS's to zero I would say yes. But after living with the system I would say get a RO. Zero water was the most expensive water system I used. I got 5 gallons only from each filter, and they only last for 9 days regardless of water cleaned before the water start smelling like rotten fish I went with a good 5 stage RO and very happy with it.

yes to both questions - can use distilled water & not use direct water hook up

it's better to use distilled water or reverse osmosis water. Avoid mineral water since certain minerals can potentially degrade the H202

Use Distilled water, room temperature seems fine to me. They recommend against tap water I believe:"Each packet is precisely measured to mix with 8 oz (240 ml) of lukewarm distilled or previously bottled water."

calibration solution is about 1oz and storage is very little I made up the calibration and stored it in the refrigerator for about a month then it became unstable and i got rid of it as for storage solution it was maybe 10cc and I have been using filtered water to store it in seems to be working very well...Good Luck

no...not likely. You must use absolutely mineral-free water....the metals or other ingredients will not permit the proper action of suspension of the silver particles in water. Even the osmosis method of distilling is not good enough. The water to use must be steam-distilled to work correctly. nancy morse.

If you are referring to the calibration solution, I just used ro/di water and made sure it wasn't registering any salinity.

To the best of my knowledge it has to be used with distilled water only. You have to start out with zero particulates in your water when you begin to "brew" your batch of colloidal silver. Make sure you have a good ppm gauge/meter. I always check mine when I start and it always measures .000 ppm

Actually, no.. you mix with water. you CAN use it direct from the bottle but, it is not as effective. There are mixing instructions that come with it but, What and how you are using it can dictate more, or less water mix.

The one I received was pretty close about 0.2 if I remember correctly. It is not really an issue though as it comes with chemicals to mix calibration solutions. You just need to mix it with distilled water.

You mix it with water according to the mixing ratio chart on the label. The label is attached to the bottle. The mixing ratio will vary depending on what type of application. You must read the label before use and you must only use it according to the label.

It does remove nitrates. The RO process removes all anions (negatively charged ions such as nitrate, nitrite, sulfate) and all cations (positively charged ions such as sodium, potassium, calcium) and therefore produces water with nearly no dissolved material. Chemically, the water quality is similar to distilled water except the RO process uses less energy than the distillation process.

Since the Vitalizer has a Mineral Cube in it, the water is infused with an exact measurement of minerals in each 1/2 gallon processed. It is best to use Distilled water, but if you are just looking for the oxygen infusion, you can use it with any water. It tastes great and I can really tell a difference in how well hydrated I am.

Yes it can if the distillation unit is stainless steel. Use at recommended rate. Usually a tablespoon per gallon of water is sufficient. Rinse everything very thoroughly afterwards. Typically a triple rinse will statistically remove all residue left over. Remove and discard carbon filter on output side if you have one after descaling. We use this in our laboratory distillation unit and it works very well.

There should be a packet of powder that you add to distilled water. Then turn on PH meter, and dip into solution. Hit and hold CAL until it flashes. Then pick the number that is closest to the solution you will be testing (4.0-acidic 7.0alkaline 10.0) then hit ENTER. When it's calibrated it will display END. Repeat once a month to ensure PH meter reads correctly
