    Thanks, Dr. Tim. I hope this was the case for mine. I did some concentration calculations and found that I was probably at 13.5 for straight Sodium Hydroxide (No buffers). I've done two soap washes so far this season. How will I know if I ruined the membranes?

    Thanks,

    Use the test strips. To calibrate you have to use a ph calibrate solution.

    On a totally unrelated question/comment. I just picked my Micro 2 up and I need to put a plug on it. Is it possible to get the description of your plug or a picture. I think a Nema 6-15 configuration is needed.
    Thanks

    Where do you need a plug? I have nothing plugged off.
