Yeah distilled and RO water have to have buffers addeded back. Ph perfect is hydro and contains buffers so once added it stabilizes the ph. I would say this is why chasing it usually results in problems
Yup you hit the nail on the head IMO. Most likely the nute has the required minerals and metals mixed in with it to make it as easy as possible to use. However if you mix this in with unpurified water you're going to have issues sooner or later.
