Thanks, Reid.PT On Monday, April 15, 2019, 8:14:00 AM CDT, Reid Harvey <reidharvey7...@gmail.com> wrote: Can't say much about the chemistry but I do know that, for example, in sub-Saharan Africa there are water projects that encourage around 2ppm of EIS in community drinking water, so as to prevent the regrowth of bacteria on the inner surfaces of their containers. System users who have never been to school tend not to be aware of the importance of cleaning containers out, especially where their environment is rife with pathogens. This is a sad reality that will be changed over time, once public health decision-makers make themselves aware of best practices.

As I have tried to bring up the pH I have noticed I have to clean the jug I make it in more often because of a reddish-orange growth that develops on the inside. To make my drinking water I start with distilled water and then add minerals, especially magnesium and also colloidal trace minerals. Then I test for pH and bring it up to the balanced area of around 6.5 with potassium and sodium bicarbonate. My question is, if I add a small amount of EIS to this jug of water will I be creating some other chemical that would not be good for me to take in? Thanks for any help you can give.PT
