PC-7 is a proprietary blend of acids that when added to water will bring down the pH and will raise the ORP (oxidative reduction potential) thus helping make an oxidizer like our Oxy Blast work more effectively. Other acids like citric acid, phosphoric acid and acetic acid don’t work nearly as well. Those acids and the oxidizers will lose their effectiveness when combined.
PC-7 comes in a granular form, mixes easily and stays in solution for many days. Always wear rubber gloves when working with PC-7. If you don’t already have a combination pH/ORP meter, consider purchasing one. It will help you a lot when trying to keep the water at the ideal pH and ORP levels.
There are many benefits of PC-7. Lowering the pH of the water for livestock and poultry will:
- Enhance the immune system of that animal for a more rapid response to the foreign substances that are attacking the animal’s system.
- Help negate the organic and inorganic substances that usually go undetected in the water.
- Improve the biological function of each cell to increase the assimilation of the nutrients.
- Lower the surface tension of the water which raises the cell frequency. The higher the density of the water the less frequency exchange between the cells and the less nutrient assimilation.
- Lower nitrates in water to safe levels thus keeping animals (especially young stock) from having severe health challenges.
Below are Gordy Jordahl’s suggested pH levels of water for livestock and poultry: Swine Production stage / Weight Ideal pH Nursery 6.0 Grow-Finish 6.5-7.0 Cattle Calves (under 300#) 6.0 Calves (300-600#) 6.5-7.0 Feedlot cattle (over 600#) 6.8-7.3 Dairy Cows and heifers 7.2-7.4 Poultry Brooder 5.5-6.0 Grow-Finish 6.0-6.5
