Alkaline natural mineral water (9,5 pH)
    #27091720 - 12/16/20 08:01 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Hi, guys

First post around here.

I was wondering what use would you find (if any) to a natural mineral alkaline water like this, if one was around at your local shop:



hxxps://aguamonchique.pt/ (in portuguese)

In Portugal we can buy the 5L bottle at LIDL for 1,39€ at the moment...

"Detailed composition of Monchique Water

The values presented were obtained from the Analyses Bulletin Nº 69024-19 of 11-07-2019

Physical and chemical composition    Typical value (average)

pH                                                      9,5

Silica (mg/L of SiO2 -)                          8,5

Chloride (mg/L of Cl-)                            39

Bicarbonate (mg/L of HCO3-)                116

Nitrate (mg/L of NO3 -)                      <0,3

Sodium (mg/L of Na+)                          115

Magnesium (mg/L of Mg2+)                  <0,1

Total Mineralization (mg/L)                  359"

That water is useless for everything but separating you from your hard earned money.

Come now bod, that is great water to drink, but same results can be attained by putting a pinch of baking soda in your water. I for example distill my own water, add trace minerals and 40,000 volts colloidal silver additives in my water.

lol yeah, I wouldn't dream of doing something like that to my water :grin:


But I'm still curious about this, so would you please be kind enough to elaborate a bit on it (or share some links about it)?

I started reading the forum a couple of months ago, and it's been kind of a random journey, from post to post, and probably some outdated content passed unfiltered to my attention.

I kept the notion that a slightly alkaline (PH 7,5-8,5?) substrate/casing would be comfortable for the mycelium but a deterrent to some contaminants. This still holds true, right?

I'm guessing that maybe there's better ways of manipulating the PH of substrates and casings? Or maybe it's just too alkaline? Is it the water's price?

And I wonder if there are no advantage whatsoever in using controlled PH water in the various possible operations where water is used, like in agar/LC, hydrating grains and substrates, dunking, misting, etc?

(hey, I need to do ten posts to access I really don't know what, so I need to lose my shyness and start interacting with people :smile:)

(hey2 Bod, I'm honored to have caught up your attention right on my first post, I see it as auspicious :wink:)

Alkalinity can be a deterrent to some contaminations. A substrate can be pasteurized with calcium hydroxide.

Iv grown cubies on straw that I pasteurized by heavily saturating the water with CaOH, and also adding it to water that I dunked substrates in.

I would say that the best use for the water you have, along with drinking it
Would be to dunk your substrates overnight, inbetween flushes.
