Okay you are checking the pH. How about the EC/PPM? Before you go ordering all that bullshit.

I have one, works like a charm. Matter of fact I have 2 of em.

Directions on how to put together are not the greatest and the tube size is a pain to get onto the weight/ filter that resides in your PH solution.
I'm using battery acid, 1 cup per gal of water. Works much better than any other PH down I have used.
When I mix a new nutrient solution I end up using roughly 260 gallons of water so I need a little more concentrated solution. I could 1 gal of PHdown from GH and barely move it.

If I was just in a couple of 5 gal buckets I would just delute the mix even more.
