Anyone experience a drastic change in ph level from their tap water? Generally my tap water is near 8.0. Today I got water and it was near 6.0. I do my normal routine of letting water run for a minute or two to clean out the lines before filling my jugs of water. This is the first time I've noticed this.

I’d talk to your local council for the most accurate answer to this question. They’ll probably tell you they recently treated your towns water supply with chlorine, fluoride & other junk. I find a good quality doomsday bunker & a tight fitting tinfoil hat is the best preventive to this problem.

Qanon foiled Bill Gate’s plot to put nanochips in the vaccine so now he’s attacking local water supplies. Everyone knows nanochips are made of ph down.

Ph can fluctuate quickly the way it reacts to air and temp. You'll know that if you ever had to test a pond or drainstorm cuz the government tell you to measure within 15 minutes of collecting water otherwise it's no good.

Don’t mean to jump on the OP’s post, but I’m curious about ph’d water with running a drip system. Usually I water by hand, no problem doing it that way, but I wanted to move to a more automated system to avoid the manual aspect. I grow in coco, requiring watering daily. I use dry amendments so I only use water. If I have a 5 gal bucket, and ph down to 5.8 prior to running the system, how long does it take before the ph rises above 6.3? I plan on running a test this weekend, and checking the ph every couple hours to see how quickly things change over a 12 hour period. Just curious if anyone runs a drip system, and what they do to combat the inevitable swing in ph.

Usually lasts one day for me in 1 gallon before it reverts back to it's original ph.
