Most pH products reduce pH slowly over time as to not stress your fish out. My friend gave me some blue tablets that sit in the tank like a weekend feed block and did the trick fine - steady decrease, fish were happy.
I don't have any experience with that product so hopefully someone that used it will chime in. HI diddakoi, Thanks for your message. My pH kit hasn't arrived yet, hence I don't the know the pH of my tank as of now. But having said that, I am using Seachem Neutral regulator more as a conditioner than a pH regulator right now as it can do both.

However, even with no measurable phosphate, if the other factors are present, algae growth will take place. Algae problems do not arise from a single contributing factor.
The operative word is "contributing. A: There are two different buffering systems you can rely on in freshwater aquariums. The first is a bicarbonate based buffering system and the second is a phosphate based buffering system.
Eventually you will get to a point where the pH will take longer and longer to rise again. You will initially see cloudiness as the buffers work to soften your water by precipitating out excess calcium and magnesium but should dissipate from your system. Since you are using tap water, a little testing will be needed to establish the exact ratios to bring you pH down to 6. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Phosphate based buffers are very stable and work well for stabilizing the pH for fish, but can cause issues in a planted tank.
