I like this new HM Digital meter. With the 2 of them, I was able to stabilize the Milwaukee but I still like the HM much better. Faster readings, auto off (big one for me LOL).
Strange thing today... I measured all my water. Started with calibrating solution...7.0. Then, the Deer Park... 7.2. All OK. But then I measured my tap water. One was fresh out of the tap and had a strong chlorine smell (as always). The other had been sitting in a 1 gallon jug for a couple days (as I always do).
The water that had been sitting measured 8.0 but the water straight out of the tap was 7.2.
I am new to PH but isn't that odd that it would have a higher PH after sitting?
I am going to grab some PH down today and play a little.
