What´s the easiest way of lowering pH?
Where I live the tapwater holds around 7-7.5 pH and around 3.8-4 dH.
How stable is water with.. let´s say 5.5pH and 4 dH?
How to lower pH
Hello,
to put the pH down is not the problem. The problem is to reach stability of this low pH.
I think, you will have to work on a low pH continuously (with peat for example). And your water should have a low acid-neutralizing capacity also (in German "Karbonathärte" or better "Säurebindungsvermögen").
If you have no problem in reading german, you should read the homepage of Olaf Deters, especially the sites: Senken des pH-Wertes and Weichwasser.
