What is acid water?

Water Ionizer FAQ
Acid water is full of hydrogen ions and other acidic minerals (phosphorus, sulfur, etc.) which makes it an excellent cleansing and sterilizing agent. This water is for external use only and should never be ingested. Its multitude of benefit includes.

Will I have to use sulfur burners, sulfuric acid, nitrox machines, ozone machines, etc?

Sterling Water Systems- FAQ
Answer: Sulfur burners are designed to produce sulfuric acid, which is used to decrease water's pH. This lower pH neutralizes the effect of calcium carbonate forming caliche (or hardpan) in and on top of the soil. The Sterling Water Conditioner increases the Zeta Potential or particles in water, which decreases the pH at the same time. Typical pH decreases are 0.1 to 1.0 pH number. .

What is the difference between a sulfuric acid anodize, hard anodize, and conversion coating?

Caiping-Aluminum Design & Manufacture
In the sulfuric acid anodizing process, the aluminum workpiece is placed in an acid-based electrolyte. An electric current is then passed through the part. During theoxidation process, the workpiece is coated with a hard, porous oxide layer. Organiccoatings or dyes of various colors can thus be applied to the aluminum outside surface.

What is the reportable threshold for reporting sulfuric acid under EPCRA Section 302?

Fequently Asked Questions
The reportable threshold for sulfuric acid is 1000 pounds at any one time. The threshold is 500 pounds for Section 312 - Tier Two - Emergency & Hazardous Chemical Reporting.

What is the reportable threshold for reporting sulfuric acid on the Tier Two report?

Fequently Asked Questions
The reportable threshold for sulfuric acid is 500 pounds at any one time. It is 1000 pounds for Section 302 notification. Complete a Section 312 Exemption Notification form and send it to our office at Community Right-to-Know Unit, PO Box 47659, Olympia WA 98504-7659. We will make the appropriate notations and remove the facility from our mailing list. It is your obligation to notify our office if your business increases the amount of chemicals stored on site at a later time.

What are the differences between sulfuric acid anodizing, hard anodizing, and conversion coating?

Aluminum Technology, Aluminum Testing, Aluminum Research
In the sulfuric acid anodizing process, the aluminum workpiece is placed in an acid-based electrolyte. An electric current is then passed through the part. During the oxidation process, the workpiece is coated with a hard, porous oxide layer. Organic coatings or dyes of various colors are later electrodeposited in the pores of the anodic coating.

Why don't you add water to the CREAM?

answers to frequently asked questions about skin care
There will be times when you don't want to add moisture to your skin. Other times you want to add more than usual. Spray more MIST when you want more moisture or use the CREAM by itself for problems such as diaper rash or incontinence. If we added water to the CREAM, we would also need to add some chemicals to keep the CREAM from separating. Then we would be similar to so many others!

How do I check strong acid water?

More FAQs
Water is better when it tastes astringent. If the astringent taste is not strong enough, the concentration level may be too low. On the other hand, if it tastes sweet or salty, the dissolved salinity level may be too high. With Leveluk DX, discard the first two glasses of Kangen water if they do not taste astringent. When it becomes less astringent because of a lower level of dissolved salinity, the concentration level has become low.

Do you I ever add acid to my battery?

F.A.Q form Payless-Batteries(UK)
Under normal operating conditions, you never need to add acid. For a standard auto or marine battery, only distilled, deionized or approved water should be added to achieve the recommended levels mentioned above. When a battery is shipped in a dry state or accidental spillage occurs, electrolyte should be added to the battery. Once filled, a battery should only need periodic water addition.(Return to Top)

Do I have to charge the battery after I add the acid?

Basement Watchdog Battery Operated Backup Sump Pumps Home Pa...
No. By adding the acid you are activating the battery. After adding the acid, the battery will be charged 80% to 90% within 15 minutes. It can be used immediately, and the system will complete the charging process once the charger is plugged into the wall.

How Much Acid Should I Add To Adjust My pH ?

F.A.Q Page
The amount of acid required to adjust your pH depends upon the amount of bicarbonates in your water that must be neutralized. Every water source is slightly different. You will need to add acid into the tank with our 4-18-38 formula, perhaps 1 cup at a time, to see how much total acid must be added. Mix the acid into the concentrate, then run your watering system and check the pH of the solution going to your plants. Continue to add acid until the pH has been lowered to the desired level.

When should I add water?

EarthBox - Frequently Asked Questions
You can’t over water, so don’t try to regulate the moisture level in the potting mix. Keep the reservoir filled. When the plants are small, add water every few days. As they grow larger, add water more often. You can easily assess the water usage by the time it takes the water to pour from the overflow hole. Never let the reservoir go dry.

Feng Shui Products, Commercial Indoor Fountains & Tabletop Z...
A product called ProTec, found at aquarium and pet stores, can be added to the water to keep it clean.

Why don't the individual fatty acid or the fatty acid classes add up to the total lipid (fat)?

Main Nutrient Data
The fatty acids are reported as grams of fatty acid per 100 grams of food. They may not add up to the total lipid value provided in a database because the fat value may include some non-fatty acid material, such as, glycerol, phosphate, sugar or sterol. In the case of vegetable oils that are 100% triglyceride, 95.6% is fatty acid and the remaining 4.4% is glycerol. For other fats, the percent of fatty acid will be even lower.

Do I ever need to add acid to my lead acid battery?

BatteryPlex.com - Frequently Asked Battery Questions
Under standard or normal conditions, you "never" need to add acid or electrolyte (unless tipped over). Low maintenance batteries may need fluid added to keep the "plates" safely immersed. Only distilled, deionized or approved water should be added.
