PH is not an indicator of hard water, for that you need a PPM reading.

Water where I live comes out at 700-1400 ppm. How that passes as safe drinking water IDK.

Glad you got everything figured out, but I think you should note that even if your water is at only 150-200ppm out of the tap you could still have hard water. It's what makes up those few hundred ppm that makes the difference. If your water has high Calcium, Chlorine or Ammonium Nitrate, there goes Magnesium. If your water has too much Iron, bye-bye Phosphorous uptake.

Regardless, the previously mentioned wasn't your problem. As long as you found the problem and got everything solved.
