This afternoon I was running some ph and other tests on our aquaponics system with our professional freshwater master test kit (droppers of test solution and vials for the water), and I decided to run a test on our tap water. The tap water was 7.6ph. Then I ran a test on the CARLSBAD WATER......
I first tested it with the high range tester, because honestly I expected it to be at least 8.0. (they claim their water is 8.0-9.0ph.) The high range test I ran first tests a range of 7.4-8.8. I expected this test result to be purple in color, but to my surprise, it turned out yellow (which was lighter than 7.4, the lowest this test range went). This meant the ph reading was less than 7.4! Needless to say I was UPSET at this point.
Then I ran the second test, the low range test, which tests ph between 6.0-7.6. THE CARLSBAD WATER TESTED AT 6.4ph which is more acidic than our tap water! Needless to say, we won't be driving all the way up to get Carlsbad water anymore! We are so disappointed that the Carlsbad water was not within the range that they advertise, but moreso that it was so acidic and we have been trying to get things more alkaline! I just wanted others to know.
