IMO ppl over state when using the term "swing." In almost all cases the water volume in our tanks compared to dosing amounts do not amount to a rise/fall in any value that really makes a difference to our livestock.
I submit to "stability is key", however I'm not convinced that a pH swing of .1 is harming anything. The same for a dKH rise or fall of .1 or .2 or .3.
What I'm getting at is unless your system is 50g and your dumping 50ml of vinegar in a single dose, don't worry about the slight rise/fall in pH.
Soap box put away.
