Don't start using buffers. your tank can become reliant on them. Try mixing the water yourself. Mix RO water with tap water. Where I live its a rough 50/50 mix but it depends on your local tap water. Mix some up and measure the hardness. If it matches what you need that the combo to use. If it's too hard, use more RO and so until its right
