Just curious. I hate going there so would like to know before I risk my life going into that hell hole.

+rep to whoever can give me a straight answer. Thanks <3

Also would a water purifier help ph levels at all? Like one of the 30$ water things I can hook to my sink or dump water into?

Yes you can. No. Best to buy RO water at the supermarket, I refill 5 gal bottles at 33 cents.

I got a water filter anyway, just because its nice to have one, the water isnt all that great around here.

Doest having a filter eliminate me having to wait 24hours or so before using the water?

Also grabbed a cpl 3Liter water bottles and some SPA TIME pH Down.

Anyone have any idea about how much of this stuff needs to be added to a 3L bottle? Or is this something I n eed to mess around with and test the water over and over until I find the right amount?

Walmart sells a filter that comes with a free TDS pen meter. Since there is no information except dilution ratio about phosphates in urine available online what would I use a meter for? Just for the down and dirty my city water is 7.6 a aspirin to a gallon gets 7.0 ph 85 ppm read on a college research site 20 ppm was the top of bell curve: best? 1 asprin to the reservoir water change was someones "secret" on here. I just come to read the bleeding edge technology HERE for my tomatoes. Started a floating hydro for cantaloupe seeds last night LOL! How do you measure 325 mg? of PH down? That would be a starting point. What do the directions say a table spoon to how many gallons for a spa? I usta do this for fish tanks best to go by the directions and do the math!

when adding PH down you don't need to worry about doing the math. Just add a tiny bit at a time and check the PH. Worst comes to worst, you add some tap water to raise your PH back up. Hell I use lemon juice to PH down my water and my plants are nice and happy. You can use a lot of natural remedies over buying harsh chemicals, just my two bits.
