How do you store it?
How much do you store.
How long does it stay at adjusted Ph?
Why does the Ph rise the next day after adjusting Ph night before?
Has anyone ever had something grow in there water? What? how did you fix it?

pH shouldn't change unless something's added to it or something grows in it.

You're ph will change quite a bit if you are using a hydro system with a nute rez. I believe this is due to a combination of factors that include water evaporation and water/nutrient absorption rates of your plants. All that can and will effect the ph of hydro systems. I can't comment on soil though.

I'm talking about just water to water soil with or for adding nutes to water soil with.
This is what I'm using at present.
18 gal. RubberMade with air pump.
I start with 4 or 5 gallons and adjust after standing for a day.
Sometimes it takes a few days to get the water adjusted.
Thinking about adding a water filter to this set up.

If the water isn't filtered before had letting it sit allows the chlorine and other chemicals naturally in the water to dissipate. Im not sure if that effects the waters ph or not, but that would be my guess. I use filtered water add my nutes balance my ph and i dont seem to have any ph issues. Are you using any type of filtered water?

Straight from the tap. Let set 24 hours before using.
I have been thinking of putting a filter on the tub.
When I go hydro I'll get R/O set up.
