(1) Chlorine + (2) PH + (3) Food. I think this might be it.
I will add that KTP has antibacterial properties, which is probably why the water does not foul up.
I used aged water and water with chlorine and chloromine filtered out too, but the result was no where near what I got with KTP water.
The KTP extract that my wife prepares has anti-chlorine mixed in. KTP does lower PH. And yes, I had suspected too that there must be some food in the water for the worms in the extract.
