I just bought a gallon jug of steam distilled water just to test the PH and
it turns out to be 6.2 when first opened with no chance of air exposure,
never saw over 6.8 in the entire 12 years I've been making CS.

Carbon dioxide will diffuse through polyethylene, but I am unable to

believe that the reason that it is consistently under 7 pH would be the
formation of carbonic acid.

Strange!
My meter or the best test strips I could find never went over 6.8 no matter
how fresh or old my solution was.

Distilled water should be around pH 7 when freshly made. However, if
left sitting around exposed to air, it can go down to pH 5.5. I read
that nitrogen which is 78% of the air reacts with the DW and creates
nitric acid.
If you measure the pH of your DW right before you make EIS and right
after
I use distilled water from Walmart in sealed jugs. Can't imagine how
measuring the ph of the water would make a difference in the ph of the
finished product.
I make mine in a gallon sun tea jug with a screw on top and the only way it
is exposed to the air is what air could get in around the silver
Just saying that as an experimenter, it's nice to know ALL the facts,
and not make assumptions that might be untrue. Like not getting a higher
pH in homemade EIS. If you know the pH of the DW before making EIS, and
it is near 7; then a resultant EIS that is not much higher that 7 might
give a
Be aware that pH (base 10) is a log scale, so figuring what the initial
pH contributed to the final is not trivial. For instance, a pH of 9 is
10 times more alkaline than a pH of 8, and a pH of 10 is 100 times more.

I fail to see the significance of the water pH or EIS pH.
Dose it has any
health consequence, considering the minute amounts one usually
1 and 2 tested by water people {people who monitor swimming
pools} as I don't trust those Litmus paper thingo's, or those pH meters.

Joy,
Water is a powerful solvent and in nature, it naturally attracts minerals.
Depending on the minerals present in water, water will be acidic (below 7.0)
or alkaline
