1.
lye lye,name commonly used for a strongly alkaline solution. It originally
meant a
solution of potassium carbonate(potash) prepared by leaching wood ashes with
water, but now the name also means a solution of sodium hydroxide or
potassium
hydroxide.

Hi Marshall!
You are right and wrong both!

Potassium Hydroxide is also sold as a lye for industrial applications!

Purity does matter, as does understanding the concentration involved.
Potassium Hydroxide at high concentrations is also known as lye.
Lye is sodium hydroxide, not potassium hydroxide. But it can be used to
stabalize ph just as well.

Potassium Hydroxide at industrial strengths is very dangerous. Bases
can be
just as dangerous as acids.

CanCell was one of the big promoters of such an alkaline base water.
I've never had to research into purity issues or concentration
strengths.
At the higher levels of concentration, a single drop might be too much
for a
gallon of distilled water...
One would need a digital PH meter ( they are not too expensive ) and
apply
caution with determining the strength to use if using any product that
was
not prepared specifically for internal use.

Subject: CS>question about Potassium Hydroxide
Hi Folks.
I called a couple of chemical companies today about Potassium
Hydroxide
for the
CS. Here's what I found out:
1) P.H. is not made as a food grade item.
2) There is one way of making it that is the equivalent of food grade,
but
they
cannot say "for internal consumption" on the label.
To those of you who put P.H. in your distilled water before adding the
silver
electrodes to make your CS, I am wondering: (1) Which grade of P.H. do
you
use,
and (2) how much of a 10% P.H. solution (drops) would you use for
about 1
gallon
of CS?
The company that makes the purer stuff wants to put me through a 2-day
screening
process, and I don't want to wait. The company selling the cheaper
stuff
will
send it out to me right away. If purity doesn't matter, then I will
buy
the
cheaper stuff.
So I'd appreciate feedback ASAP.
Many thanks.
Nenah
