    I never had problems with high pH. Always low pH here.
    Interesting technique though!

    Same here. I never really worried abut it too much either, I figured it was what it was as long as the alkalinity, calcium and mag are right...

    Well when some screw up and overdo the carbonates I tell them to use club soda to pull it back down CO'2 will lower it in a flash and will neutralize the buffer.

    Good Tip, I'll have to remember that if I get too carried away :)
