.Ph up and down

I am researching hydroponics for my green house, and one thing I came across was a product called .Ph down, made by various suppliers.
When watering with tap water it should be possible to make the water more suitable for blueberries, if the original .Ph is too high?

I have used "pH Down" for pre-treating tap water to be used on our blueberry shrubs. As I recall, it was a mix of phosphoric acid and something else, possibly citric acid. It worked OK, but it was pretty expensive, so I found other ways to lower pH.

Costs are subjective. I note from the catalog I have that 500ml costs $3.95 and you only need small amounts, from what I gather. Hardly expensive? Perhaps you got ripped off?
