walmart, fish section...like five bucks for a kit. it has a solution, tube and buisness card sized chart. you fill the tube with what ever water, drip 3 drops and match the color on the chart. easy

while you are there get some vinigar to lower the ph. sould not need to make it go up. that is the easy way. they sell ph adjusters at hydro stores and online. look in to lime and hydrated lime

dunno about bottled water, i have a britta water filter thing on my sink so i use that and adjust from there
