How much do the flavorings lower the pH of water, i.e., how acidic is the water with these flavorings?

I don't know but if you go to there website at www.sturdrinks.com you should be able to find out or contact them. They are super about answering questions!!

I don't know the ph level. This product does seem to be a little weak. It needs 2 dropper squirts full per 16.9 ounces of water instead of the usual one dopper full. As a result, you will flavor half as many bottles of water as usual.

Pretty awful. I ended up throwing them away. nasty after taste that lingers.

Did not do a ph test. But whether or not it is acidic, this product was not pleasant to drink. Have tried others that are good. And am using some powdered ones now that are good, but this item was not appealing to me. Unpleasant flavor.

sorry, i can't help you with the chemical composition. I live on the West Coast near Washington and the water here is almost perfect at 5.5 or 6. You will need very little ( a few drops ) to drive the ph up or down. This product does work. Google " How to change your water's ph " and you will get lots of advice. If your ph is too high or low your plant nutrient food will sediment out and be impossible to be utilized by the plant. I suggest that you get proper hydroponic plant food. I no longer use this product but first step is to find out what your waters ph is.This will help. Good luck. sorry, i can't help you with the chemical composition.

Not really, but they do dissolve in your mouth. Their intent is to change the pH in your mouth.

Very easy. See previous answers & comments about pH testing. The water tastes very good, though it may be unusual for some because of the alkalinity.

They have no flavor. I spice the water that I reconstitute them in; soy sauce, cumin, basil, oregano, cayenne, etc. depending on what I am going to use them in.

I don't know the answer to your question, I just tried these once and never bought them again, I didn't like the taste.

I don't like any flavors. I mostly like filtered tap water with the fizz. You can get the flavor packets on Amazon or you could try Bed, Bath and Beyond.

This seasoning is quite tasty on many foods, but not low-sodium (280mg per 1/4 tsp)!! Has salt, black pepper, citric acid, dehydrated onion, dehydrated garlic, maltodextrin, sugar, yellow 5 lake, natural flavor and lesser minor ingredients. Definitely packs a lemony punch, but probably due mostly to the citric acid. Actually another excellent Tones seasoning is the Salmon Seasoning (only 75mg per 1/4 tsp). It's very good on many foods, other than fish!!

It doesn't say on the bottle but when I googled it I got an answer that said carbonated water has a sour taste and a PH between 3 and 4

We use crystal light lemonade flavors. Little to no calories and outside the bottle after h2o is carbonated.

citric acid, natural flavors, aspartame, maltodextran, tartartic acid, mag oxide, acesulfame potassium

It should be safe, but im no expert. As long as you don't have mold, it's really more a matter of where you like the flavor to be. This changes with longer brew. Also, will you do a secondary brewing cycle with flavoring? Or just drinking it? My go to measurement (other than pH of 4 or below) is to try some! Sounds like you are on the fresh side for my tatse, but every set up will find its own rate... I personally like a 10-12 day original brew, with a couple days of secondary w/ flavoring, before i drink or refrigerate them. I have one now at 18 days in the jar ill be using as a substitute for vinegar in salad dressing and possibly meranade.

Unsure Mike; I'm using them for habanero sauce with a vinegar base--probably as acidic as acetone. I thought the seller was responsive when I had questions. I'd reach out to them.

I can't be sure but if you let these soak in some ph neutral water it should do fine, they haven't seemed to change my ph.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question because I threw them in the garbage after trying them. Sickly sweet with almost no flavor or a bad flavor in the case of the lemon. I don't recommed this product.

Personally, I think it's all about taste and it's not an exact science, but I use maybe a teaspoon AND a teaspoon of RediBeets together in 12oz of purified H2O...yummy!

Yes, I have. It is off a considerable amount, given the nature of food safety. Food pH that is acidified or low-acid needs to be less than 4.6pH. However, I tested samples that I sent in for laboratory measuring and it's off by approx. .06. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it is. For example, I sent in two samples that I measured with this instrument at 4.42 and 4.31. The lab measured them at 4.48 and 4.37, respectively. The lower number I sent (4.31) them wasn't ideal for my purposes because of amount of food acid I had to add, but I sent it in as a cross-check for my new meter. They wouldn't accept 4.48 as low enough (I realize its lower than 4.6pH, but that seems to be another issue at work here). While I can probably work with the inaccuracy, as long as it remains consistent, I don't have much confidence in this meter. As a side note, I calibrated the meter fastidiously, several times between measurement with both 4.0 and 7.0 calibration fluid. My assessment at this point is to return the item, if possible.
