A conventional electric water heater will come with a black wire and a red wire which are connected to the wires of the same color as described above. The ground wire is attached to the green ground screw which is in the same wiring junction box compartment which is built into the top of the water heater.
Using Sulfur to Lower Soil pH. You can make larger adjustments to your garden soil pH by using some form of sulfur. Sulfur lowers soil pH as it is broken down by bacteria in the soil and converted to sulfuric acid. Sulfur is most commonly added in the forms of aluminum sulfate, iron sulfate and elemental sulfate.
If your soil is alkaline, you can lower your soil's pH or make it more acidic by using several products. These include sphagnum peat, elemental sulfur, aluminum sulfate, iron sulfate, acidifying nitrogen, and organic mulches. pH of 5.5 is 10 times more acidic than a pH of 6.5. Conversely, a pH of 8.5 is 10 times more alkaline than a pH of 7.5. A soil test will determine pH. The soil pH is important because it affects the availability of nutrients in the soil.
