Welcome to our forum.
The combined efforts of heat and aeration causes carbon dioxide to off-gas from the water. CO2 plays an important role in water balance. Its presence in the water allows for the formation of carbonic acid, which serves to hold the pH down. When CO2 is lost, the pH of the water has the tendency to rise.
I'm always fighting a high PH also. My water out of the faucet has a PH of 8.0. Every weekend I have to throw in some PH down. It takes a month or so for it to settle down.
The water out of my tap is almost perfect except being a little soft so it's really frustrating to have to constantly lower the PH in the tub because after lowering PH I have to deal with low alkalinity. Raise that and the PH get's to high.*sigh* The water battle never ends.
