Aerated or just use PH+ (Increaser)

Hi Guys

Just thinking out aloud here

I've been reading that aerating will naturally increase the pH of the water. 

Obviously, pH+ increaser will do have the same effect.

Does using pH+ have any side effects?

Thanks

pH+ will also increase TA, so defeats the purpose. The only way to increase pH while not increasing TA is by aeration.

Thanks (again) MPurcell

 

I didn't realise pH+ increased TA!   

Always thought it was lowered with pH- (dry acid). But only TA increaser or baking soda would increase it
