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 problem, but that may be a little much, depending what you're shooting for, 1 Gal. = 3.78 liters
