Re: ph- hard vs soft water?

[David Ritter]

General hardness is correct for my reference. Testing 75-125 ppm using
Jungle Quick Dip 5 test kit.

No........and it makes no sense unless related to a situation like how

These two waters cannot be the SAME water because the pH is 10 times more
alkaline in the 8.2 sample. What is the SAME in the reading you quote?
