we apparantly have an extremely well sealed house. i have been fightin a ph problem since the tank was set up. the problem is the house itself. i did the 1/2 gallon aerated water jug test the last couple of day. the first day i aerated the jug next to the tank. when i tested the ph in the jug it was only .02 higher at first. within 15 minutes after the aeration stopped the ph matched the tanks. it was aerating over night. i next tried the jug outside on the deck. this morning i tested the water and the ph was .11 higher in the jug!
ok so now i know the problem, any ideas on how to fix a CO2 laden house. the way the house is laid out it is the house and not just a room.
Doug1- i may be able to blow air from the crawlspace below, but i have a feeling Newfiemom would not like the possiblilty of crawlspace critters visiting.
we have some plants, but it would need to be an insane jungle in the house to correct it that way. i will start trying to open the windows more at night, but due to the humidity of the area, it may cause our bill to go up because the A/C will be working harder during the day.
any ideas?
