pH Litmus Paper: Test Alkaline, Ionized Water

The pH of pure, freshly distilled water is neutral, i.e. pH 7.0. However, water exposed to air rapidly dissolves atmospheric CO2 (carbon dioxide) which forms carbonic acid. This weak acid will lower the pH of water as low as 5.2. If you are buying alkaline water or ionized water for pH therapy, be sure to test it regularly to make sure it meets its pH 8-9 specifications. Unscrupulous vendors may sell you old stock that is no longer alkaline.

Blue litmus paper turns red in an acid solution, red litmus turns blue in an alkaline solution. You can use these acid-base strips in place of litmus paper since they give a fast easy answer whether something is acidic, neutral or basic over a similar range. Note: The number of strips per pack or vial is approximate.

Test Specifications; How to Use

  • Dip strip in solution for 1-2 seconds; compare to color chart
