Default Vinegar to lower pH

I have been using Vinegar to lower my pH in a hydroponic system. Is
there any reason that I shouldn't be doing this?

Thanks

Vinegar is frequently used to lower pH of water used to store cut
flowers. Citric acid is also used for this. Both are fairly weak acids
and easy to handle, but vinegar is more readily available, is cheaper in
home gardener quantities, and you probably have some around the house
anyway.
