Suggestions for pH Neutralizer

I replaced my well pump recently, and the plumber lifted it about 50' so it's no longer sucking mud... yay!! So today I did an at-home test... chlorine, copper, nitrogen, and iron all came back very low, so that's great!


Only downside is that the pH is at or near 5.0! Which doesn't surprise me at all; when I drink tap water I tend to get mouth ulcers, and I've had to replace several copper pipe connectors that were blue and had holes.


I understand that the "best" solution for this is going to be a Neutralizer?


I'm getting mixed information on whether I need a Calcite, Calcite-Corosex Blend, or Soda Ash pump. With my pH at 5.0 I suspect that a Soda Ash pump would be my wisest choice, but I really don't know.


Can you all suggest what type of neutralizer I might need (assuming I'm on the right path), and maybe suggest a brand / model? I just dropped $1100 on the well pump, so I don't want to go TOO crazy on it... $1000 would be a stretch, honestly. I should be able to manage the plumbing and electrical myself, though.
