(I do not make myself a headache with a careful maintaining of the pH, it does not matter for water clarity, only for effectiveness of chlorine if against algae that I manage by other means. And for drinking water is pH allowed with very broad range 6.5 - 9.5, for swimming it should bite me?).
To improve the water from bore well (if it is not so strong ironized as my water), after certain sedimenting in the tank, is good to have a backwashable filter shown by Cyrille in the other BIP thread (the one not so Famous) #666, seen everywhere in Thailand (ca. 10,000B by village craftsmen made), or a similar one offered by GH, TW, and others.
