Ill take your link back to the main post as a semi quasi smart ass reply......I meant for someone to elaborate on not checking ph in ro water in an manor I could understand:)

the pH meter will lose its power to accurately check pH if you use it in RO water.

TO LOUDBLUNTS::::Two potentials are needed to make a pH measurement: 1. The sensing electrode provides a potential proportional to the logarithm of the hydrogen ion activity, in your nutrient solution. 2. The electrode reference solution inside the probe, ideally provides a stable and consistent ionic potential, independent of your nutrient solution........Ummmm.....What????.....I gonna just assume that your lack of providing a laymen's explanation to this obviously technical data....And your choice to bust my balls:).....Is to mask the truth that you don't understand the data either....Hmmmmm:)

i think this means the reaction between the stuff inside the pH meter (the bulb) with the solution being measured is what, after some maths, gives us the pH reading.

But I could be completely off-base.

by special request - a shot of the mounting panel in back of the RO system. A close up of the hose connections to the filter and a little bonus (current grow - sorry no grow journal yet and already flowering... bad email468!

ok i just got a digital pH meter and you guys are saying even with nutes the meter will get fucked up by the RO water? so does this mean i have to change the probe everytime i check my pH???? or just not check pH at all in nuted RO water????

reading is fundamental.


we are not saying it will....but it CAN happen

this is in reference to getting ph readings in RO water.

nuted RO water is fine because the nutes add ions and that is what ph is read by or some shit.....

I recently purchased a Reverse Osmosis water purifier/filtration system. Finally I’ll be using RO water and no longer be forced to use GH 3-part with the hard water micro. Woo-hoo!

While connecting and using the filter was very easy, I thought I would do a quick step-by-step to show folks just how easy and hopefully encourage folks reticent to use RO because they aren’t sure how to hook it up.

The product I will be using in the demonstration is the SpectraPure MPRO-90 Eliminator Reverse Osmosis. It features a single sediment filter, a single carbon block pre-filter (for chlorine removal), and a single RO membrane filter. Better and more expensive units have additional filters. This unit retails for about $190 US dollars. Replacement filters are priced as follows (all in US dollars) - carbon filter: $16.95, sediment filter: $12.95, and the membrane filter is $99.95.

The unit arrived undamaged and fully assembled. The package contained the unit, a filter wrench and instructions.

Installing and operating the unit is very simple. All hoses were already attached and all filters in place. I place the whole unit into a bucket to make it easier to move around. You can also permanently attach it to a wall or something too.

Thankyou for this info...
I've been searching for a portable system. My water comes out at 39-44 but I wanted to try near 0. This looks great

i installed a ro system 2 1/2 mo ago, im still using my nutra drip pen , and its still mesuring ph. o by the way my tap water mesured 840ppm after the system install it came down to 4 ppm ph is stable at 6.0
