PLEASE NOTE: Hydrometer or limos paper is used to test for the acidity of the solution which is normally caused by caustic soda. When green the acidity level is ok, when yellow or white it is neutral, but when it reads red the acidity is very high. You can add soda flakes to increase acidity and industrial salt to reduce acidity.
