not sure chlorine is high in ph maybe your ph has lowered because the chlorine has evaporated out of the water, just a guess. bit of a drastic drop though.

When I ran dwc, I would premix 10 gallons of nutrient mix each week for top ups.....On day 1 the PH with nutrients and cal-mag would be at 6.0.-6.5. I use normal tap after 24 hours of sitting. By day 3, my PH would drop to around 5.5. By day 7 around 5.0 so I normally would have to adjust UP by later in the week.

Yeah, it usually takes me a few days to get my tap water pH stabilized. Thankfully "good enough" has been good enough, for the most part.
