Thanks for clarifying. I thought you meant to not put the neutralizer in water AT ALL, but you what I understand you to say is not to put it in the water I drink with my meals. That will be easy for me as I use a different type of glass for the water I drink with my meals than the "pitcher" I use for my between meals water.
I will just put it in my between meals water. I will also buy a bottle of FUJI water and use my test strips to see how it registers. I can then check that amount against what it on the bottle so I can better measure the ph of the "neutralized" water.
