    RO water is usually a tad bit lower than regular water (usually between a pH of 6 and 7)... At a pH of 9 or more, there is no way it is even water. Unless someone is pouring javex or bleach or something of that sort into your collection buckets. Tell them to stop wasting their money with their RO unit if thats the kind of low-grade end-product that they are coming up with.

    i tested the water straight from the barrel and it has a PH of 8.0.the filters where just changed and my boss has a salt water tank also and he says that the PH shouldnt be a problem.BUT i am going to walmart tonight and buying distilled water,i trust it more than the water from work.i cant beleive what a hard time i am having with water.Ohh i also retested my water in the one bucket i have and tested at 8.4 w/the digatal PH meter and my water test kit. I am stilll going to buy water. Thank you for all the help JOE
