Water will be more acidic, lower PH, if it has carbonic acid in it. Aging degass it as CO2 especially if the surface of the water is agitated where the CO2 is released by using a pump head or air stone to facilitate the process. The PH of my tap water consistently raises from about 6.5 to 7.0 after 3 hours of agitation and heating. The purpose of aging is to create water that has a PH that is very close to the PH of the tank water if/when the tank water is getting agitated resulting in the same degassing. Aging avoids the PH swing of adding low PH water to a tank that is already degassed.
I do not have experience with a drip system. I think the idea is to maintain consistent PH by consistently adding water.
Seachem's webpage that describe Prime seems informative.
I do not believe that you will effectively be able to remove ammonia with a bacteria filter that is in line with municipal tap water. Bacteria filters need to contain bacteria to convert ammonia to nitrite, another type of bacteria to convert the nitrite to nitrate, and another type of bacteria to convert the nitrite to nitrate. Your design does not circulate the water to give that time to occur. Instead, it risks flowing water with chloramine in it through the filter. The chloramine is put in the water to kill bacteria. The first bacteria will get killed by the chloramine. The second bacteria is suppose to grow from the nitrite. Instead, the first bacteria never creates it, if it did, the nitrite flows away, and/or the chloramine will kill that bacteria as well. The result will likely be that you will have a very dead filter instead of it containing the bacteria that is needed to effectively filter. I realize that you intend to try to filter out the chloramine before it gets to the filter with bacteria in it. Are you sure that it will get ALL of the chloramine?
A local discus store has a very large inventory of discus. Over 100 tanks full of discus all on a 'drip' system. It actually flows much faster than dripping. My guess is about 1 gallon/minute. He said he uses a lot of water and does not treat it. He also keeps the room at 82 deg F to avoid the need to heat the water once it is in the tank. I did not ask him if he heats the water before dripping it in. There is likely a lot more going on with his system that I do not know about.
I change 50% of my tank water every other day with a custom automated system. Many lessons learned during that project.
