Great question! Does CO2 lower the PH of these additives?So I started dosing the sodium hydroxide version a couple of weeks ago. The first few days I got a great ph boost, peaking above 8.3 for a few days. Then I noticed the boost started to lessen. Yesterday ph peaked at 8.17. Today it’s on track to peak around 8.12. I measured the ph of the alk solution and got 12.1 and 12.2 (two different meters, pinpoint and apex). I did not measure the ph of the solution when I first made it so not sure what it was then. It it absorbing co2 and losing potency? I’ve probably dosed a 1/4 of the gallon container I’m using.
