RO/DI water question.

[denwhite16]

When I get my unit, will I need to buffer the water up to proper ph, or should it be pretty close?

no once you start making water and add your salt mix it should be properly buffered just let it mix well

Buffered?

 

[Henry405]

buffer is a substance that you use to raise pH I believe. I dont think its used to lower, just raise

If your tank conditions are good the pH will take care of itself. I personally choose to stay away from buffers. Abnormal pH levels is one of the most blatant indicators that we need to do something about our water quality, and adding a buffer is basically just like telling it to shut up and putting a temporary mask on the problem, rather than solving it.
just my opinion lol
