Re: conductivity= water quality explained

[Brian Ahmer <ahmer.1@osu.edu>]

low buffering capacity (i.e. KH) doesn't necessarily give low pH. 
you still have to add acid.  Buffering capacity just tells you how 
resistant your system is to fluctuations.  low KH means highly 
sensitive to fluctuations or bounce unless you have some other 
buffering component in the water.  If you run straight RO water, your 
water has no buffering capacity and is therefore very sensitive to pH 
fluctuations.
