The fact is "A low pH accelerates decomposition of glycols. Bases such as triethanolamine, borax, or sodium mercaptobenzothiazole may be added to maintain pH, but they should be added carefully."
Also reducing the Glycols pH promote corrosion as the metallic corrosion rate increases rapidly with a decrease in the glycol pH. Organic acids resulting from the oxidation of glycol and thermal decomposition products or acid gases absorbed from the gas stream are the most troublesome corrosive compounds.
The glycol pH should be regularly checked and kept between 6.5 and 8.0 by neutralising the acidic compounds with borax, ethanolamines, soda ash or other alkaline chemicals.

∙ 14y agoIf water is not treated correctly, it can be too Acidic or contain too much Alkaline. Either way, they can harm your body.
If you are doing a lab in science, testing the pH of water will make sure that the water will provide correct results (the pH of water should be 7).

Is a pH test used to show water quality?
Yes, a pH test is one of a number of tests that can show water quality. Water that is too acidic or basic (alkaline) is generally considered bad.
How can you use pH paper without water?
It can be used with most liquids. pH paper (or tape) test the acid in a liquid.
Does water murkiness affect the pH of water?
you have to test the water without any tubalence from the day or day before.
What is the pH for oil?
Actually, you can't measure the pH of vegetable oil because it doesn't have one! pH is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous solution (water). Because there is no water in vegetable oil, there is no pH value.
How do you test the pH of bleach?
You can use a pH paper.
What does pH test for in water?
pH determination is a test for acidity/basicity.
Can you test pH without water?
no
How do you test pH of water?
by pH Paper ( Litmas Paper) as per PH it take colour.
Why does water test as neutral on the pH scale?
Because it has a PH of 7, if something has the PH of 7 it is nuteral
How can I test the pH of my tap water?
How do I go about testing drinking water? I want to know what the pH level is on the tap water in my house.
What pH is tap water?
The pH of tap water varies a great deal from town to town and sometimes from one season to another. Your city water department can give you a general idea of your tap water's pH, but it would be better to buy a wide-range pH test kit and test it yourself.
How do you measure the pH of a fish tank?
The pH of a liquid can be measured in a number of different ways, using liquid, paper or electronic testers. The most common ways to test aquarium water is with either liquid or paper test kits. pH test kits are available online at www.bigalsonline.com
Can you test pH without pH paper?
yes like what you do before you put your fish in the water
Is a pH test used to show water quality?
Yes, a pH test is one of a number of tests that can show water quality. Water that is too acidic or basic (alkaline) is generally considered bad.
What uses are there for PH test strips?
PH test strips are generally used to measure the acidity of water (sometimes pool water). They can also be used to test urine and saliva. They are also used in the beer industry.
What is the pH level is soft water at eighty degrees F?
PH cannot be assumed as there is a wide variety of aquarium setups. The test PH you should buy an API Master test kit
How do you adjust the pH of distilled water to pH 7?
By utilizing a standard pH meter or a standard pH test kit - you will first test the pH of the distilled water - then either add pH UP or pH DOWN (sold at pet stores and hydroponic garden stores) until you reach your desired pH level. A little of the pH adjustment solution can make a big difference so deliver the solution in drops, one drop at a time and then re-test. Hope this helps!
