so i recently moved from the hood to the country. seriously. my water here is well over 7.5 pH. (waiting on a replacement probe before i can get an accurate reading.) i was also told that the water is soft.

back when i lived in the city, i could let my water sit out for a few days before using it and the pH would drop significantly and i would only have to use a small amount of pH down.

here in the country i've tried that to no avail. the pH doesn't seem to drop at all. i have to use a capful of pH down to drop a gallon of water to within acceptable ranges for soil.

any thoughts/ideas/input/suggestions?

thanks in advance!
