Why let it sit for 24 hours after adding acid and bringing pH down? It's water from the system so chlorine isn't an issue. I would think a stir and then maybe let it sit for a few hours with an aerator to mix the water and you should be good. But, I have been curious about this for a while so please educate me.

It needs time for the acid to consume the carbonates within the water, which is the reason for undertaking this procedure.

As Scotty mentioned, if you drop it to 6.0 it usually creeps up a little as the acid dissipates, so in most cases it needs a little more acid after a few hours to bring it back down to 6.0


I see. Thank you.
