I agree with MH this is the worse form of goverment and industry deception on the internet right now ! The misinformation is outragious!
First off you dont measure distilled water with pH strips you use a electrical conductance device and second the acidic readings you get from distilled water that is left out in the open is a false reading in that there is no buffering agent to create a proper reading ! The tiniest amount of CO2 will give a false reading of acidity when it in fact it is clear of any electrical conductance!
Since the advent of water purifiers and bottled waters this misinfo has flooded the internet! Just follow the bucks people, there lies the deceptions!!
