Default Cloudy water

wowoow... I am surprised you got naturally soft water and a pH that high. I guess I
dont understand what is happening to your water. naturally soft is usually below 7.0
GF like more hardness in the water and calcium and magnesium create a buffer that
resists changes in pH. big swings of pH are not good for GF.
no.. it is not the pellets for using on the lawn. walmart used to carry organic
dolomitic lime white with flecks of darker material. well water is not always
perfect as is. Ingrid

Checked readings at 10am all the same. I guess my PH is staying high I added
a little water. I don't understand how lime (is this the pellets used on
the lawn) will help or why I would want hard water. I thought I was blessed
with well water by not having to add so much chemical and having to be
concerned about clorine.
