The experts tell us it’s responsible for alkalinity, but such is not the case
Carbonate mineral (KH) alone is responsible for how base or acidic water may be. KH is a part of pH, but stands alone for alkalinity. This most valuable mineral gives water the ability to support oxygen
We’ve all heard of the dreaded pH crash; when oxygen levels drop, suffocating fish. This event most commonly occurs in water that isn’t moving properly or isn’t exposed to fresh air
