Just tried out my semi-automatic water changer for first time and works a treat. Basically, water is fed from my shower upstairs, through a 3-pod HMA filter then straight into my tank.
Only issue is the water comes out at PH 7.8, KH 5, GH 9 with Nil nitrates. Ideally, whilst I'm totally happy with the KH & GH I'd like the PH nearer to 7.
Would I be better to feed the filtered shower water into a tub, add a little weak acid to lower the PH a bit & then syphon it into the tank ? Not totally happy with a PH around mid 7.5 even after adding pressurised CO2
