NEEDING A PH OF 10 OR MORE

[redheadedmommy]

IS there a cheap way to get PH of 10 or more in like 2 gallons of water ?

^ that article only seems to say it raises the Kh, but not specifically the PH, unless i missed it?

BTW, any reason in particular your looking to raise the PH past 10?

Potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3) is another KH additive. It's cheap. But not so easy to find, it's a specialist food additive for people who don't want sodium in their food. It will however raise pH though due to the addition of the hydrogen. It dissolves much faster than the Potassium or Calcium carbonate powders.
