when you purchase RO/DI water from the lfs
is the pH at 7.0 like regular water or did they already add the buffer to the water?

i cant believe i never thought of this before :lol3:

most places DONT add anything...you almost always have to add buffer. RO water has a lower pH that saltwater.

ok, i was just really confused when i first started and my pH kept droping
i thought it was due to temperature change or something illogical like that...

So in my drip system will this also have a negative effect?? What buffer should I buy to add it to my RO???
