lol yup, good ole baking soda.... use VERY little... it'll change things quickly... and for your home remedy of ph down.. use vinegar.

thats a nice little peice of info to know. my ph is just a tad high, nothing to raise alarms about but maybe i will give it a splash of vinigar and see if it drops it some. thanks for the info.

"Chemical" ph changers are very cheap $$... so dont feel bad if you bought some they go a long way!

lemon juice will bring it down also, right?

It should, it is very acidic.... but I don't think it is very stable.

Pour it on? You use ph up n down to condition water.
