Wow! That sounds like battery acid.. If you are comparing to tap water, what do you show for it?
Maybe I'm confused here but are you testing pH??? or true Alkalinity??
Hydrochloric acid, battery acid is about 0.. Vinegar is about 2. My tap water is roughly 6.2-6.5..
I should ask what you are using to test with, also?
