I have a couple questions about PH, first;
How long does it take for your PH reader to return the final PH?
Mine seems to take quite a while (1 - 2 mins before it stops fluctuating). It starts off at 7.0 and slowly starts dropping in numbers. The further from 7.0 you are, the longer the reading time. I find it quicker to use my liquid drop tester.
How long does it take to adjust the PH in the res?
I have a DWC that has continuously running water (via a water pump), and air stones, so there is plenty of water movement. I usually start the res off with 5 gallons / 18ish Liters of RO water. If I pop in some ph up/down, how long until it all balances out? 1/2 hour? 2 hours?
thanks in advance,
