From my understaning these products will only sabilize or a short period and the ph levels will return to the previous levels quickly

Yes they both will lower your ph.....they are both acid.
Baking soda will raise ph in a pinch.

Neither of those is made for your system and neither has any ph buffers to keep your ph stable. A small amount is probably harmless enough but I have no idea about a large amount.
