Never Give Your Husband A Test Kit...

[KasumiBetta]

For those who have goggled at the sheer number of bettas I have...you'd pass out in shock if you found out how many tanks my husband out numbers me by.
 
This week I showed my husband how to test his water because I'm tired of doing it for him. Today, he found out why I insist on using a PH buffer in all the tanks. Our PH from the tap bounces from as low as 4.0 to as high as 8.0. This in itself is not worthy of discussion, but I thought I'd share two of his comments since a couple of them made me

 
"Oh my GOD...I'm using this water in my juice." (After testing water from the tap.)
 
"4.0?? I'm bathing in this. I shouldn't have to shave. It should just melt off!"
 
Who knew test kits could be so entertaining.

4.0 sounds dangerously low for a public water source.  Yikes.

Ph 4 doesnt sound good. Some coca-cola products are ph 4 lol.

Yea a ph of 4 is not drinking water. Get in touch with your water company because if I had a ph of 4 id kick there butt.

I'll call them today. We only just moved off of well water a few months ago to this new house, just thought public water was nasty in general. I'll let you know what they say.
