Hey kosher, its natural for you res ph to raise a couple days after making a new batch. Usually I have to adjust my ph once a day for 3 days after mixing a new batch. However I check everyday and adjust acordingly. A swing of .5 is somewhat normal the first day, depending on what nutrients.

I wouldnt use any bleach for cleaning anything for my plants. That would kill roots fast!
 
Thanks tru, i guess my problem was the bloombastic i used just didn`t mixed well in the batch and took some time to "blend in the mix" and it probably the cause of that drift i had.
 
No on the bleach here to. I only scrub it between grows. Spray it out and wipe it down during changes, of course. Hope you got your issue under control.
