PH level down

[Biggsy747]

Any household products I can use to bring down tap, rain and distilled water down from ph10 to 6.5/7

If your tap water has a pH of 10, it’s not safe to drink! Rainwater will never have a ph of 10, nor should distilled water. I would suspect that whatever device you’re measuring with is not calibrated correctly. Most household products vinegar, citric acid, etc. are not very stable. I would suggest a product that is made to reduce PH.

Edit: But first verify those PH numbers, even cheap paper test strip can be used. A PH of 10 is the same as soda ash, and milk of Magnesia!

It really must be the devise I’m using then, I’ll calibrate that devise the instrument thanks for the advice. I’ll let you know the outcome

I’ve ordered some paper ph test strips, cheers for the advice, dodgy instrument

I've used the narrow range test drops accurate to about .5
