Review: Good Water filter to raise RO water PH back to Neutral - My RO water tested at 6.0 PH, after running through this filter, it raised it to 7.4-7.8. My RO water showed 3-4PPM, after running through this filter it showed approx. 9-11ppm. Overall it does it's job, not sure how long it will last. Will monitor the PPM to find out.
