Low PH

You are more than likely have the same problem many are having. It has been
hot out and
air conditioners on. This causes CO2 to build up in the house/apt, which

to high room air CO2. CO2 will drop your pH no matter what your Alk is. Open a
couple of
windows and direct a fan to blow out room air and pull in outside air. The
next day the pH
will probably be back were it was. You can also start a kalk drip, if needed,
as kalk
"eats" up/reacts with CO2.

Ca(OH)2 + H2O=== Ca++ + 2OH

2OH + 2CO2 ===. 2HCO3- buffer ( bicarbonate)
