CO2 alone drops the pH to about 3.6.No problem getting it through the exit tube. OTOH, extraneous static electricity can "store" on the Helmholtz Layer- Water-Metal interface (that's what Electrochemical Supercapacitors are about) and neutralize H3O+ or H+ ions which can induce Water Clustering Seeding on the Residual OH- Ions.
