Will I have a pH imbalance?

It doesn't matter what your water is it is the soil itself that sets the ph. Runoff ph will tell you nothing useful either; you need a soil probe to check the actual ph of soil in the root zone. If you bought bagged soil it is ph balanced already. The only time you ever need to adjust the ph of your water is in a hydroponic medium.
Mykos does not work as a top dressing. Put it in the hole so it's touching the root ball when transplanting. Needs to be in contact with the roots in order to help with absorption.
No you will not have a ph imbalance...
just water your plants as normal; no ph adjusting

I use mykos xtreme too. They would tell you to put it on your toast if it gets you to buy it. Doesn't matter what brand of granular mycorrhizae you use they all work the same even a generic white label. Mykos xtreme just seems to give the most bang for the buck price-wise. They say you could use it in a fungal tea but I know from experience it needs to be in contact with the roots to work. Just sprinkle some into the hole before you transplant at each container upgrade. If ever you did a side by side grow for comparison you would notice how much faster and healthier the plant with mycorrhizae grows compared to without. You can see the plants react when the myco starts to bite.
Recharge should last a real long time on a shelf because it is like sea monkeys; dehydrated microbes that come alive in water. You could accomplish the same goal by bubbling some worm castings in clean water with a tsp of molasses.
