Shelf-Life Considerations
here is one important issue that should be pointed out
to new users of H3O and it has to do with shelf-life stability.
As a matter of background: when thoroughly lab tested,
our "H3O Concentrate" appears to be little more than water
with small traces of sulphur,
or (depending upon the analytical procedure used) a diluted
aqueous solution of sulphuric acid. (Note: The patented
manufacturing process used to make H3O employs sulphuric
acid and then uses an extraction process to strip out the
sulphur, converting the remains to the hydroxyl, H9-O3. These
hydroxyls convert to H3O, which is more unstable, depending
on the pH dilution factor, only after you add water to
make your finished product.) These conditions create
stability issues that you should keep in mind when using,
handling and storing the product. 
In its concentrate
form (what you get in the 8 fl. oz.
container to your left), our "H3O" is extremely stable,
at least five years. By the way, we gave the primary
product the name "H3O Hydronium Concentrate"
for simplicity's sake, even though
you don't actually get H3O (hydronium) until you add
water to the concentrate.Now... once you add water
to make your usable H3O, you have a product that will
have a marked shelf-life. This shelf-life is "pH driven."
The less acidic the pH (i.e. where your pH figure is a
higher number) the shorter the life. As the H3O
solution sits in open air, it takes on ambient
oxygen and converts into ordinary water.
If you leave H3O at around pH 2.5 uncapped and out in the open,
it will literally become water in just a few days!
Whereas before your H3O tasted tart and acidic, it
will begin to taste like water ... until after a few
days, that's exactly what you have ....Water. Most people will
make their H3O to a pH of around 1.6 and keep it capped.
If you do this, the solution should be good for at least
a couple of months. Taste alone will tell you when a substantial
amount of your hydronium has absorbed oxygen and converted
your solution to water. So remember to make what you
need, and keep the rest in Concentrate form.
For all its otherwise amazing properties, H3O is by
no means stable.
