PH level help please. Hi all. I've come to a problem. I'm doing hydro and the ph from my my tap is 8.5 and then when I filter it its still in the 8 range. Not meter, as I took out my ph strip test kit and the ph was in the the same color range of 7.5-8.0. Any advice is needed.

I wouldn't know about filters that correct the pH. They only reduce the ppm of the water. If you want to drop it in the right zone you'll need something else like pH Down or lemon juice. Beware that you'll need to monitor it for a couple days, because the pH will rise back.

I would get a better filter system. Brita only Reduces chlorine taste and odor, copper, mercury and cadmium. You can always ph down the water and give it a shot.
