I've got a K-2006. The "-ish" suffix is due to the fact that I've mis-placed my little log sheet that I wrote my very first tests on...and I was going from memory. As for the "PH 8-ish" result at present, the K-2006 doesn't go above 8.0 and although the pink looks the same, it could be a shade higher and I wouldn't be able to reference it. That''s why I '-ish'ed' that number.

Forgive me, but (on my third re-read of your reply) it seems to me that you are making recommendations for dealing with an undesired PH rise. (which isn't what I'm asking about)
-or-
are you suggesting I abandon the whole "run at high PH" (as per the post from Ben that you could not find) and recommending how to come back down to normal levels?
(and...if this is the case...would it be reasonable to ask Ben to remove that entire 'High PH' webpage...if it is indeed not viable?)
