Hi
Im new to the RO water setup!!! Can any one help me?????
I have a 3 stage RO Unit, my water pms out of the tap are as follows, my ph is 8 my gh is 320 and my kh is 140. I have a 100 litre water butt attached to my RO Unit and in there the ph is 7.6, but I thought RO water should have a ph of 7, because its a high ph I can not add tap water to my RO water to get my tds right as that leads my ph to become high again!!!!!
Thanks for any help you can give me!!!!
Phil

:confused: Hi is anybody any good with water chemistry out there I can't get my RO water right.
I put 25% tap water to 75% RO water which gives me the following water pms:- Ph7.9, Gh 100, Kh 50 ppm, I add an air stone and the ph rises to 9 I think everything else stays the same, I would idealy like my Ph at 7.2 and the other levels suitable for the fish. I tried all tap water %'s with my RO water, but have had no luck, I must need some thing else to get my pms right?!?!
Please can anybody help
Many thanks
Phil
