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.

LOL you sound like my husband. If it ain't broke........
Thank you. Just doublechecking with all the work we've been doing I
wanted to be sure everything is working as it should.
