redcross Arofanatics.com - online PH Alert

Well, it came as a surprise for me to learn that the PH reading of the PUB tap water in my current location is PH 9.3 while it was abt PH 8.4 abt a year back. Hence, I decided to put up this thread asking members to contribute their input / update (if changes) for their area.

You may add in additional location if your area is not found in the key location on the following map/list.

Thanks

ben

Yup, I had the same reaction as you when i saw the initial reading.

I did 2 checks, one with a digital meter and one with those liquid test kits and both show above PH 9.

not too sure if they are related, but my private estate are doing sterilization of the water tank at the moment - as i was told.

Health implications ? how certain are you bro ?

thks
