Instructions

1. Buy pH paper online. Sites like VWRlabshop.com and Microessentiallab.com offer secure online purchases of pH paper along with other labs supplies. Browse through the sites to find some paper and use a credit or debit card to make a quick and secure purchase--these sites use encryption services like Verisign to keep your sensitive information safe.

2. Purchase strips of pH paper from your local pool supply store. Because of general range of pH levels in pool, testing strip purchased from pool stores often don't carry a range wide enough for use outside of pools.

3. Visit a nearby research university. Make a request in person for a small amount of the paper. Look elsewhere for large amounts of pH paper--smaller requests increase the likelihood of the laboratory giving/selling some paper to you.
