Now they're all back to normal pH & so is Turbo's who doesn't have any crystals but his pH was also high @ 8. Which made his vet scratch her head & give this expression  loll. It does say on the bottled water that it has added minerals for taste, so I wasn't sure if that was ok. I'm going to get the Gerber distilled water today & test the pH bc I'm a nerd like that.

I don't know anything about the alkaline vs. acid water, I do know some people recommend adding a little acid (vinegar) to the water and some recommend adding alkaline (Tums), but don't do both, they negate each other. Here's a little more information about that:
