Puricare Industrial Enterprises: CHANGE WATER pH EASILY - Just ADD Salt - Sodium chloride is table salt and when it is added to water it breaks down into ions of sodium and chloride. Neither of them reacts to water so adding it to water will only change the volume, not the pH.

CHANGE WATER pH EASILY - Just ADD Salt - Sodium chloride is table salt and when it is added to water it breaks down into ions of sodium and chloride. Neither of them reacts to water so adding it to water will only change the volume, not the pH.

Change Water pH Easily - Just ADD Salt!

Water in nature is rarely pure in the “distilled water” sense.

It contains dissolved salts, buffers, nutrients, etc., with exact concentrations dependent on local conditions.

Water also typically has four measurable properties that are commonly used to characterize its chemistry. They are pH, buffering capacity, general hardness and salinity.

In addition, there are several nutrients and trace elements.

What is pH?
pH is the measurement of a liquids level of acidity or alkalinity.

The pH scale runs from 0.0 to 14.0 with 7.0 being neutral. Acids have low pH values with anything lower than a 7 and alkaline solutions have high pH with anything above a 7.

If the solution has an equal amount of acidic and alkaline molecules, the pH is considered neutral.

What are the chemical properties of salt?
Sodium chloride, more commonly known as salt, is one of the most common mineral compounds found in the world.

It is required for the human body to function normally because the sodium-potassium exchange is an integral part in the human heart beat.

Salt absorbs water from its surroundings, hence why it dissolves when you pour it in a glass of water.

There is a general rule in chemistry as to how salts affect solution pH.

If the salt of a strong base and weak acid is dissolved in water it will form an alkaline solution, whereas, the salt of a weak base and strong acid will form an acidic solution.

The salts of a strong acid and strong base or a weak acid and weak base will both form a neutral or near neutral solution.

For example, sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) will form a neutral solution when dissolved in water because it is the salt of a strong base and strong acid.

Whereas, tri-sodium phosphate (Na3PO4) will form an alkaline solution because it is the salt of a strong base and weak acid.

Sodium chloride is table salt and when it is added to water it breaks down into ions of sodium and chloride. Neither of them reacts to water so adding it to water will only change the volume, not the pH.

In order for a type of salt to affect the pH it has to react with water to release or bind the hydrogen atoms from the water.

To determine whether a salt was added to particular water, you simply need to take into account the pH of the water you seek to put the salt in.

While water will not react in the exact nature as solution pH, one could expect similar results as mentioned above.

Acidic salts make water more acidic and basic salts make water more alkaline.

How important is pH?
Changes in the pH can prove harmful or even fatal to aquatic life or even humans.

For example as pH rises it increases the toxicity of chemicals such as ammonia. These changes are particularly harmful to young or sick fish.

In a number of fish, breeding only occurs at a specific pH range. This means that without the proper pH fish populations will decrease over time.

For pet owners it is extremely important to know the pH of your water source so you know beforehand if it is compatible for your pet.

For humans: When your saliva is in between 6.5 to 7.5 it indicates your body is in the healthy alkaline function.

When that pH falls below 6.5 it is a sign that your body is overwhelmed and acids are not being adequately excreted through the urine.

Your saliva reflects digestive enzymes and your urinary pH indicates your mineral and electrolyte balance.

A healthy range for morning urine is 6.0 to 6.5, and 6.5 to 7.0 for evening urine pH.

A urine pH below a 6.5 is an indication that your body is overwhelmed and is not cleansing as properly as it should.

Urine pH is also a value of the efforts of your kidneys, adrenals and lungs and gonads by the use of the buffering elements and hormones.

When your body is too acidic, the body will rob your organs and bones of the vital minerals of potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium to maintain the body’s pH and also to remove acidic waste.

You can help your body neutralize acids in the blood and maintain a balanced pH by taking some simple steps like eating the right foods, exercising, and drinking plenty of water to give your body the proper fluids to excrete any toxins.

Drinking lots of water is essential for cutting down the acidic side effects of coffee, soft drinks, alcohol, and tea, and it also aids in flushing the kidneys.

By maintaining a healthy diet we can help balance our bodies, prevent diseases and live a longer, healthier and more energetic life!
