Acid Rain - Gus - 05-09-2018 With all this talk of acid rain, I can't find any reference to how it would affect my catchment tank, as well as might we be drinking enough to be harmful. Any thoughts oh wise ones? RE: Acid Rain - kalianna - 05-09-2018 Hi Gus, see discussion here: http://punaweb.org/Forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=24667&SearchTerms=rain,catchment RE: Acid Rain - randomq - 05-09-2018 https://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/hawaiirain/more-vog.html Probably not more dangerous than drinking lemonade, but you can simply add baking soda to negate it. RE: Acid Rain - dan d - 05-09-2018 Dont guess use a ph test strip or meter,i throw 2 boxes baking soda on roof and it treats The whole system After a heavy rain i put 1 qt bleach on roof also and kills algae in pipes going to 10 k Gallons catchment Aloha Dan D HPP RE: Acid Rain - Gus - 05-09-2018 Thanks all. In don't know how I missed that thread. Too much going on I guess. Off yo pour in baking soda. RE: Acid Rain - geochem - 05-09-2018 The acid catchment water will also cause accelerated corrosion to your pump and copper piping in your house. If you see green accumulating in your sink or shower, that is the likely cause. One other thing to be aware of is that the acid gases produced from Kilauea include hydrofluoric acid - although generally at lower concentrations than continental volcanoes, any catchment affected strongly by the acid gases currently being produced in Puna could well have elevated levels of fluoride. Probably best not to drink that water until your system has been flushed by new rainfall. RE: Acid Rain - Guest - 05-09-2018 Wondering ? Try leaving a steel tool out for a few days. Estwing Hammers are perfect test subjects. RE: Acid Rain - ironyak - 05-09-2018 You can also disconnect the downspouts depending on circumstances - hopefully we can get some monitors in the area soon to see how bad it is. Plenty talk of having to use safe rooms or respirators and that ornamental fish and plants are dying even outside of Leilani Estates. RE: Acid Rain - Kenney - 05-10-2018 We disconnected the down spout yesterday and added a box of baking soda. Today ph at 6.8. Added another half box and now it’s “ideal” at 7. according to to our HD ph thingy. RE: Acid Rain - Kenney - 05-10-2018 quote: Edited to correct numbers |
