will a high alkaline water help remove pesticides from veggies

It's my understanding that using the acid water is more effective for cleaning fruits & vegies. Plants also LOVE the acid water. I have a spray bottle with half acid water & half vinegar I use to wash off all my fruits & vegies. Good luck!! Patty

Don't know what the other 98% are... but it shouldn't have any affect on your soil pH. It's a variety of of Bt - a bacteria that is toxic to the diseases... it is not a chemical.

Yes, it can pick up anything that has become "one" with the water and thus becoming contaminated.Anything that can dissolve in the water that you won't be able to see it with your eyes, 90% of the time your TDS meter will pick it up for you and show you how contaminated your water is. I have one and it works great in picking up any chemicals.You can also pour your purified water into a cup and add any type of house hold chemical and see if your TDS meter picks it up.That is one way I was able to confirm it myself that it works.

I just use regular water but I assume distilled water will reduce the amount of chemical build-up in the long run.

Certainly. On the label there is directions for fruits and vegetables. I use a couple of drops in a large bowl of water, dunk and scrub the vegies, then rinse. Or you could spray a water/Sal Suds mixture on, scrub, rinse.

I didnt use it to kill weeds I used it to drop my ph in my soil cuz it was to alchline that way my soil would release the other nutrients for my veggie garden sorry I couldn't answer ur question

I used it on blueberries and they look very healthy. Unless I had VERY alkaline soil, I wouldn't use it on veggies.

justmix 1 half cup of ph powder to 1 gallon and then slowly pour into hydroponic res and flood tank to match ph if thats hoe your set up is if in single buckets then just the res.. i hope this helps out it did me

Probably not in many cases, but it doesn't hurt. I think it's purpose it to prevent water that may be tainted with pesticides, etc., from flowing back into the water source.

the instructions do not list vegetables so I would not use it on them. I purchased it for use on orchids. There are safer fungicides like copper (which is safe on tons of veg) and even baking soda diluted in water.

YES. + Earth friendly. This should be in every household. Why such a secret? Perhaps all those poor chemical companies would go broke! :( Use gloves and mask. Spray or wipe full strength vinegar on the hard water buildup. Let the vinegar work for 30 minutes. Sprinkle baking soda (optional). Use a green scrubby to scrub. Rinse thoroughly. I found this video very helpful and informative.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmS6bw93NJE

I have no reason to believe that it will. I only use it to fertilize my blueberries and lower ph.

No, its not a nutrient. Use this product to bring down the PH of the water your using into the optimum range for the plants your growing.

You want to remove the Alkaline filter which is raising the pH and really is for acidic or neutral pH water. You do not want 7.0 pH for drinking water as some mineralization has health benefits.

Technically its possible from what I saw in my installation. As far as would it be bad for plants my guess is that it will be whatever was removed from the water will be in higher concentration

Yes, you can use it. Put the water you'll be using in a gallon jug and check the PH. My town water is 8.5 which is too high for plants. I usually add about .5 ml of PHdown to a gallon to get around 6 - 6.5 which is perfect for most plants.
