Adequate pH Though dependant upon the source water, the unit produces an adequate range of pH through the five level settings. These settings are computer controlled and has the ability to stabilize the pH of the output water after electrolysis. On the pH scale, which ranges from 0 on the acidic end to 14 on the alkaline end, a solution is neutral if its pH is 7. At pH 7, water contains equal concentrations of H+ and OH- ions. Substances with a pH less than 7 are acidic because they c...

However, which language a child learns to speak depends on the language he experience...
