Since my previous reply this morning, I went out and attempted to conduct some pH tests to see what was what. I had 3 of the Harbor freight meters (for accuracy correlation) and they read battery fluid as half scale acidic which I would presume is around 4.5 if N is 7.5.
But everything else was a waste of time. I measured the following:
My soil pH tested N. It is Houston Black Clay which I happen to know is absolutely alkaline.
Tap water that I know is alkaline was ever so slightly acidic
Distilled water was N
Radiators on all my tractors were N
Got out a bottle of JD coolant conditioner and it was N even though it said it contained Nitrites, Nitrates, and Phosphates.
Mixed up a heavy solution of Arm and Hammer Baking soda and it was N.
Conclusion is I will find some pH strips for testing. ------------
Other thing I have to offer is this. As one guy stated and I don't have his input handy, you have to get the right ratio of correction chemicals. Like the JD bottle says that if you have an ionic filter and use the contents of "this" bottle you don't want to get too much of this product.
The bottle mentions a test kit that is available at JD I'd assume.
Man, for a retired guy who is trying to "KISS" I am in deep doo doo.

Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
