Some of you may know that i work at a shop that specializes in heating and ac.
Our tap water is too hard to use in a cooling system so we filter it by deionization.
Our tap water is a 6.5 ph before filtering. Filtering it lowers the ph to 3.0.
Our antifreeze starts as 10.0 ph.
When i mix the 3.0 with the 10.0 i end up with a 6.5 ph.lower than it should be to properly protect a cars cooling system.
If i add baking soda to bring the waters ph up will the baking soda stay in suspension in operating temps? Any negatives to using baking soda to raise the waters ph?
