Quote from: sean brennan on October 16, 2010, 08:04:49 pmSeems to me that carbonic acid is only theoretical. C02 plus water creates carbonic acid but carbonic acid plus water produces C02 plus water. So you only need one molecule of water to mix with carbonic acid to create a chain reaction as more and more water is produced.I've hesitated to say this until now: I don't know where you're getting your information from on this but whoever is telling you this is completely, totally and utterly wrong in every factual respect. Carbonic acid plus water produces more dilute carbonic acid (which is slightly less acidic). It does not produce CO2 plus water. Adding water to carbonic acid cannot create a "chain reaction" of any type under any circumstances. The only time CO2 will be released is if the amount dissolved in the water is greater than the equilibrium amount in solution given atmospheric pressure and the atmospheric proportion of CO2. (I'm assuming here that we're talking about water that has not been injected with CO2, of course. All of this is scientifically factual, not a matter of opinion.Vin

NOTE TO SELF...do not get involved in scientific debate with sean brennan or perfect windows.

Also stopped wearing cotton t-shirts as these tend to get holes in shoulder/chest area where they are splashed by the pure water.This has pure water sounding dangerous, so i have tap water at 300 tds,what about people with very low tds tapwater,this must be near dangerous stuff.Maybe there is cotton eating bacteria in it.(seriously).Maybe your scrims and t-shirts were ready for retirement.
