Sometimes the answer is nothing

It does not sound alarming to me. I would not drain it considering it is only being used for laundry. I don't have the benefit of the rain you have though. It could be weeks for another rain. That plays a factor.

I suppose that if alkalinity were a problem you could add just a little vinegar and check the ph again. Is alkaline water going to be a problem? Rainwater is naturally slightly acidic, so if the problem is caused by baking soda, the problem may resolve itself over time.
Please, let me know your thoughts,
Eric
