adding Electro-Lite to Ro/DI water???

ok, i will enlighten everyone since noone knows about electro lite....eletro lite is a great addition to freshwater, it adds essential electolytes and trace elements to ro water,since ro is free from these crucial elements... now i say its great for freshwater considering you have to do water changes and by doing that you add the nutrients and electolytes back into your water so you will never need this stuff....
most people dont even do that when adding ro, if the tank is stable and the water conditions are prestine, you wont drop or raise your ph levels to critical levels, you will only see fluctuation of PH throughout the day due to the hydrogen ions that are positively charged ,they alter the charge environment of other molecules in solution....meaning the higher hydrogen ion concentration in your water the lower your PH goes...this fluctuates throughtout the day and you will have ph swings , nothing to worry about, since every week when you do a water change the PH buffers in our salt will replenish the water and stablize the ionic molecules of H2O(water).... but to me its always good to check your PH periodically throught the day and then let it go to the next day test PH again see if it is too low then something with your elements in the water must be replenished....best way to do this is use a 24hr digital PH readout....ya know what i mean!!!!lol...i read alot....sry...lol

The reason why people buffer their ro water, is because after it's made into ro water, it by itself is very unstable. And just re-circulating ro water in a room will actually drop in pH away from 7.0
Adding a bit of pH buffer, and minerals to balance the alkalinity makes it more of a stable liquid.
