hey. easy way to bring down ph and hold it there if your water is very hard(=high ph), is to use the brita water pitchers. when you fill pitcher, pour it into plastic gallon jugs to store. brita(and similiar pitcher filtration devices) remove alot of the carbonates that will cause your ph to be high+ purify your water in general. this makes a great water for your plants similiar to r/o water, just not as completely deionized.

forget about him. Vinegar works for me too and it's not a money or logistics issue at all.

It is not wise to use Vinegar in any recirculating / water set up. More research in RIU forums on this topic is highly recommended imho. Save yourself time and K.I.S.S it with a phosphoric acid product from your local hydro store.

if your ph is so high, that water is salty, of has a lot of minerals. i would use another water source. collect rainwater or something. a high salt/mineral content may effect your plant after a while.
