If you have excessive CO2 from smoke,breathing furnace....... in your house the only way to find out is to take a sample outside into fresh air.If you get a different reading then you have found the problem ,if not you can rule it out.Excessive CO2 will drive down PH.

He told you it is a test to see if the Co2 problem is something inside the house. If you take some of the tank water outside and let it set, then test it again and the Ph is higher then there could be high Co2 in the house.

Let say my Ph is different from outside to in.....do i have to shut the AC off and open the windows????? (it kinda hot in va beach) I don't smoke in the house. Oh buy the way i took some water to my LFS today about a 15 min dive the container was open and the LFS got the same readings.
