Adam and List...(curious me, and although I'm not cutting yet, will soon.)
The question: given any local water's TDS and variable ambient pH in all of
our waters vs. using distilled water...why not use a commercial standard
buffer 7.0?

I remeasured the PH and TDS levels of my incoming tap water and again
after being filtered.
Before filtering After Charcoal and RO Filtering
TDS: 515 PPM 31 PPM
PH: 7.7 7.1
It looks like 7 stage RO filtering made the water move towards PH neutral
from being on the basic side. A reading of 7 would be considered perfect
neutral so I am happy with a PH reading of 7.1. I would rather have it
lean towards basic than acidic which is the case here. On the other hand,
the TDS level of the incoming tap water exceeds EPA standards! I wouldn't
dare drink the tap water here. Might end up with a case of kidney stones!
I don't think meteorites would be happy with the tap water here. I will do
chemical testing in a few weeks. I hope there is no chloramine in our
system as is the case in California.
Kind Regards,
Adam
