I used ph down before with no issues. If your waters 7.5, you likely won’t need to ph with organics.
Edit: I say likely won’t.. because organics allows for a much wider ph range. Ph is still important so don’t get mislead by that statement.
My tap water is above 8.5 so I used to ph to 7. I use rainwater now with no issues, and it’s natural ph is 7 in my area.
Here’s an interesting thread on that.. I seen earlier.

Here’s a good link too for ph in living soil:

Will not harm anything but it is a waste of time. No need to ph anything in organic soil.

Wrong. Best pH for organic soil is 7 at the surface 6.8 four inches down.
Quit telling everyone else they're lying about yields and optimize your soil to get those yields. Stop wasting money on amendments your plant won't eat and stop throwing your soil away after every run due to how out of whack it gets from not being in pH range.
You can potentially lower pH with sulfuric or phosphoric if you do it gradually,but what's the point, start with the right pH and only adjust when you're recycling it.
