pH plays an important role in the performance of homebrew bubble juice. What we call "pH Adjusters and Water Conditioners" are ingredients that are used in bubble juice recipes to improve the performance -- generally through pH adjustment. This article provides information about additives that you can use and recommendations about how to use them. See the pH article for information about the importance of pH to bubble juice.

  • pH plays an important role in the performance of homebrew bubble juice. What we call "pH Adjusters and Water Conditioners" are ingredients that are used in bubble juice recipes to improve the performance -- generally through pH adjustment. This article provides information about additives that you can use and recommendations about how to use them. See the pH article for information about the importance of pH to bubble juice. Baking powder, citric acid, baking soda + citric acid, distilled vinegar, cream of tartar and other ingredients are often used for making bubble juice because of the impact they have on pH. These additives can influence longevity, soap film strength and thickness (which also affects ) and bubble-friendliness. Different detergents and surfactants have different optimal pH ranges. The optimal pH range for a particular bubble juice may depend on both the surfactants and the other ingredients including the detergent. pH doesn't matter for most of the polymers and additives we use, but some of them (such as Japanese PVA-containing laundry starch) are sensitive to them. The exact reasons for this sensitivity is not currently known. The effectiveness of detergents can be influenced by metallic ions and salts present in tap water and by calcium and some other minerals. In some (generally rare) cases, water conditioners that soften the water may be beneficial. File:Charmy Adjustment illustration.png Baking powder or baking soda+citric acid are the favored tools for adjusting the pH as they do so gently -- making it hard to overdose a mix, and they do not require using a pH meter. Baking powder is more effective than baking soda + citric acid for reasons discussed below. Citric acid and tartaric acid (cream of tartar) are very effective BUT care must be taken because it is easy to overdo it and ruin your bubble juice if you are not careful A small amount of citric acid goes a long way.
