It's not the pH of the water, it's the level of alkalinity in it (resistance to being turned acidic) that's the issue. I have hard water which is pH neutral but has a high level of alkalinity. I still use Star San, I just use a bit more of it than someone with soft water would (e.g. when it says 1oz per 3-5 gallons, I take that as being more 3 gallons for my water).

ive started using ph papers,i find it reassuring to be able to see if its strong enough,
Same. I tend to use Tesco ashbeck water, even after it goes cloudy it tends to last for another couple of months.
