After finally receiving a vial of the Hospira BAC water, I decided to put my current BAC waters (along with a few others) to a pH test. I ordered the pH strips, and off I went. For these, I tested 3 BAC waters I had, along with distilled water, filtered water, and my tap water as a bonus. For non-BAC waters, a clean plastic cup was filled halfway with the water, the strip dunked in for a few seconds, and removed. For the BAC waters, I removed 1 mL of BAC water using a new insulin syringe from a vial of the BAC water, held a strip over a plastic cup, and squirted the BAC water onto the strip. I've included the pH reference that was provided with the test strips.
Guide:
1 - Distilled water
2 - Filtered water
3 - Hospira BAC Water
4 - Quality Pure BAC Water
5 - BAC Water received from overseas supplier
6 - my tap water
The lighting is not as good in the photo posted as I had hoped, but from my live test, these are estimations on my part from what pH the strips indicated:
1 tested right around 7.0, as expected (I used this as the control, in effect).
2 was very close to 7.0 as well.
3 and 4 are around 5.5-6.0.
5 is around 8.0.
6 is around 9.0.
