I have the same problem here in Lansing MI.  After doing a bunch of tests and 
dragging my wife downstairs into the fish room (she is the chemist in the 
family), I have determined that my water is filled with CO2.  My water from 
my Culligan RO unit goes from 7 to 8.4 after aerating it for just a few 
minutes.  I have tested the water at numerous stages of RO membrane use to 
make sure that I did not have anything in my water to raise the pH and have 
found nothing in my water to effect the pH except the CO2.
