IIn the last 24 hours, I have used washing soda and HTH Super Shock. My chemicals, using a test strip & chart, are all reading in the "ideal" range except the PH which is now 8.4 (previously 6.4) How can I lower this without changing the rest of the levels. Using household products if possible. On a tight budget. Thanks in advance.

It would probably be best if you posted a complete set of current water testing results taken with a drops-based kit --- no test strips. Then we can better advise you. You use muriatic acid to lower pH but if you have a high chlorine reading, you will often get a falsely high pH reading.
