vinegar for bringing down the Ph
I've used vinegar in the past, best to get something where it states on the bottle the percentage and type of acid. Acetic acid at 4.5% is the one I've used in the past.
I always used it in the feed water, like 10ml per litre. If you have a large adjustment to make you should do it over a few days rather than all at once.
Always go VERY SLOWLY and use a decent PH meter. Take readings an hour or so after mixing with the water.

vinegar for bringing down the Ph
You can use standard food grade white vinegar, about 6 fluid ounces, per 4 gallons of tap water, to lower pH. But this is just for temporary fix. It won't last long unless you keep applying it.
There are many alternatives for lowering Ph like garden sulphur and iron sulphate.
