Default Water analysis
I just bought 6in1 water analysis strips (for aquariums) to test my tap water + nutrients.

The results are :

Cl2 : 0 mg/l
pH : 6.8
GH : 8°d (Total hardness - calcium and Magnesium salts)
KH : 10°d (Carbonates hardness - bicarbonates)
NO2 : off the scale
NO3 : off the scale

So the pH is too high (I don't really know about KH and GH)

Would it be ok to add some rain water to get a pH of 6?
