not really much of an update, but something interesting

So after i switched to Advanced Nutrients PH perfect technology I donated my PH meter to a good friend. I bought the old ol reliable liquid tester since i would just be testing the water not the nutrient mix. when i start seeds its a routine thing I Buy a jug of good water i usually look for spring each store seems to have various kinds of water (distilled, spring, drinking, etc) At publix i go for the purified water at walmart its spring. I first went to walmart bought 3 gallons of the spring, this is so routine that i dont check the PH nomore but its always the same has been for a long time. Upon trouble shooting I was had to think about PH its something you can never rule out until you ran every possible outcome. Well I found an abnormality, I tested the spring water and the PH's color on the chart was the highest of the PH!!

Ok so we have the culprit right? Wrong answer lol, I dont worry about PH as i said so i dont have ph down but i do have white distilled vinegar for just in case times. Poured a little in then tested, no change. Put in a little moren tested again no change. poured a cap in the jug, no change...... So i tested my tap water, did the exact same thing. To publix I went, came home with the purified water. Tested it and it was yellow, thats the lowest color on the ph list for my tester!! I tried to bring it up no change I opened another just of the purified, no change. How about i went out and bought a new tester and ph down thinking this one has gone bad from age and it did the exact same thing and dropped 20 drops of ph down and still no change in the spring, I was baffled. Needless to say i ordered a ph meter earlier. The temps dropped pretty low in my area think that might have an impact on the tester?
