We habe 2 ponds with a creek in between. Had them about 16 or more
years. Last year we rebuilt the large upper level pond added a
waterfall to it and a skippy filter. Right now we've redone the creek
and smaller lower pond. For the first time in all these years I've
bought a test kit and everything checks out fine Except the PH which
is at 8. So out of curiousity I checked our Water straight out of the
Faucet and it's a 9 . So how do I deal with that. Any suggestions
anyone?

Yes! Be Happy! Leave it alone. Fish live in water with pH from a
low of 6 to a high of 9. If it has been working for 16 years it ain't
broke, so don't fix it.
