Yes, filters can lower ph. They can also remove mineral content the plants need.
So, what is your filter really doing

$30 would buy me more ph up and down than I could possibly use in the next 20 years.
Ph is not what I was really getting at. Filters can be a great tool. I was just trying to say that you need to be aware of what the filter is removing. If you save $30 on ph down but then spend money to combat nute problems caused by nutrient deficient water what happens to your savings

1 capful of distilled white vinegar from the kitchen per liter of water will bring it down about 1 whole point.

i cant get ph down or up where i live since shipping cost more than the bottle itself, @ and well better than giving it chlorine and a ph 8 to the cannopy, or spend time trying to regulate the ph with vinegar. i don't , criticize the way you handle your ph, like i said sharing is caring and that's the way i do my ph adjustments 
peace.
peace.

Hi Inudan, I was reading that RO(reverse osmosis) filters also do this well. I'm not sure if all filters are RO, but the same concept seems to be the same. You figure a cheap one will run less than $100 US dollars and lasts about 2 years. Think of the cost savings over ph down. I'm in a pinch, so I'll be using some white vinegar to lower my waters PH of 8! "ImChucky", thanks for the formula. I will start at 4 cap fulls to 1 US Gallon. It should put me in the ballpark anyways. Good luck everyone.

No one was criticizing you for gods sake they were just trying to help you.They were just trying to SHARE with you a better way of handling the problem.

No problem, but that may be a little much, depending what you're shooting for, 1 Gal. = 3.78 liters
