im done jacking around with ph problems

Drifter,

Iâ??ll use my tap water as an example. As it comes from the tap itâ??s about 6.8 â?? 7.0 depending on the time of yearâ?¦â?¦.however as it sits open to the air it outgases. The out gassing process is a process of de-acidification. That means that the Ph will continue to rise. My tap water will rise to well over 8.

Same thing happens in the buckets and controllerâ?¦..but faster because the airstones outgas (or de-acidify) the nute solution at an accelerated rate.

I just included this so that you would understand that your tap water will rise in Ph as it sits open to the air. Might just solve a mystery or two.

Loads oâ?? luck,
HMR

thanks for the info. last night when i checked it the water was straight from the tap. same thing to day only ph was 8.5. didnt have time to check on the ladies today but in the morning that is first on the to do list. will post results from that later in the day
