Waste and water have about the same pH...7-9..


I finally bought the silver oxide cells for my Corning pH meter, and
peed a sample to check - it read 5.5 pH - about where I expect.

But...but..but: I seem to recall that waste matter can soon smell
ammoniacal, and maybe THAT'S the alkaline component?

Did you hear the real reason why they didn't want to let more water out of
Lake Lanier until recently?.... because
everything below a depth of about ten feet is toxic as hell. Too many people
emptying their holding tanks full of chemicals that don't work.
