find out your parameters first, before using peat or pH reducer.
maybe your pH and kH are low already.

pH reducers are actually useless. To understand why they are useless , its important to understand the chemistry of water. Water has capability to buffer. This means that regardless of what you add to it , it tends to revert to the same pH as its source.

Try and identify what is the source of water in Govind Puri. I think I posted earlier - the chances are low that it is municipal water. In which case , peat can help reduce the kH. The only permanent solution is a deioniser which will reduce alkalinity.

You dont need any test kit to check gH and kH. Do the taps in your house have white deposits on them ? If yes , the water contains a lot of calcium and magnesium.
