D. Water Treatment Procedure
1. Obtain water treatment compound and a pH test kit from your authorized
parts distributor.
2. Fill a mixing container with the measured amount of water required. (See
table). Distilled water is recommended.
3. Hang a strip of pH test paper on the rim of the container, with about 1 inch
of the strip below the surface of the water.
4. Measure the water treatment compound (One way to do this is to add the
compound from a measuring cup.)
5. Stir the water continuously, while you slowly add water treatment com-
pound, until the water reaches a pH between 10.5 and 11.5. Judge the pH
by frequently comparing the test strip color with the color chart provided in
the pH test kit. If you are color blind use an electroanalytical instrument to
measure the pH level or have a person who is not color blind read the test
strip color level.
6. Record the exact amounts of water and treatment compound used. These
amounts may be used again, if the same water sources and compound are
used in the future. However, it is best to check the pH each time treated
water is prepared.
