As long as you are using the recommended amounts per the manufacturer. They usually account for moderate buffer capacity (AKA - alkalinity) of most us waters when determining amounts needed to achieve the desired pH! Sent from my iPad Return to table of contents
Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 00:35:20 -0500 From: "A. J. deLange" <ajdel at verizon.net> Subject: Sanitizer pH One of the popular sanitizers (I think it is Saniclean) is basically DDBSA with phosphoric acid used to establish the proper working pH (i.e. the pH at which a large enough fraction of the ionizable group on the DDBSA are not dissociated such that the DDBSA can disrupt the bacterial cell membranes). This could easily be verified with a pH meter. Return to table of contents
