just thought I would mention....
PH up (chemical) is simply potassium hydroxide (ebay or online sources) and water.
mix equal parts of both. always add the potassium hydroxide to the water, not the other way around.
It creates an exothermic reaction which will cause the water to get hot!!
So add small amounts of the potassium hydroxide at a time till you see how it reacts.
And as always wear safety glasses and gloves etc.
PH down is any nitrate (potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, etc) mixed with sulphuric acid. Probably not the best thing for the DIY'er to make for safety reasons, slthough I have made it before just because I could hahaha.
Not sure why anyone would make this though unless there are no hydro stores where you live. Just throwing this out there. -BB
