Hiya Ken: I posted a suggestion to dilute the 50% KOH further by cutting it with distilled water first. Only a minute amount of Potassium Hydroxide is needed to shift the PH level.
The taste only becomes noticeable, from my experience, when your pushing distilled water up to the 9.0+ PH range. I drank a similiar solution ( treated with Scalar waves, I'm assuming with a Tesla Coil arrangement ), but at a PH of about 10.5 by the gallons to get my own internal PH level in-line. It worked perfectly. There was only a slight taste.
