    Raising alk without PH

    So I've noticed over time my ph is increasing with dosing for alk (wasser). The past couple months I've seen it go from pH 8.15-8.25 on a given day to 8.3-8.4, alk at 8.0. I'd like to increase my alk but I'm worried about driving my ph too high. Anyone else see this? How to fix?
