    Yishun is around 6.8 to 7. Sometimes it changes a bit I think because they add more clorine/cloromine during rainy days.

    Aeon, you stay in Yishun too? Cool!

    Your RO water is the Diamond water? Could it be the culprit who increased the pH?
    I am just making wild speculation here though.
