I've seen comments that certain sands increase the pH level of the water initially.
Here is one example, and it's not the only one, which says: "Initially will slightly raise the pH of your water."
River Sand
I'd like to hear people's experience of using sand and rocks that initially increase or affect the pH of water. Does it correct itself later? Or is a permanent condition? Should this deter me from using this type of sand?
I'm actually thinking of using this river sand from Bunnings (in Australia), and am concerned that the above examples could indicate possibility that the river sand can increase the pH level of the water.
