In mid-May I added two 1 lb. boxes to a pail of water then added that to the catchment and swished it around. Checked it from inside the house the next day and acidity had dropped somewhat. I added a box a day until water became normal, took about 4 lbs. to go from ~5.8 to 7.0. The strange part was that after a month I checked it again and it was back down to 6.2 even though we had disconnected everything to let the acid rain clear the gutters before hooking it back up again. I wish I had measured it before this all started. Could be that it's always been acidic. Does anyone have pre-eruption readings that they've done?
Certainty will be the death of us.
