Re: decreasing ph

[Cameron <ccase22@mail.com>]

Profile shouldn't affect PH, but I've read posts saying that sometimes it does,
and the common thread seemed to be unrinsed profile.  So, rinse it and it won't
change a thing.  This is only what I've read.  In my experience it has had no
affect on my PH, but then, I rinse mine for hours.
