pH Water Test

The pH of your water measures whether it is acidic, neutral, or basic. Ideally, your water should be between 7.0 and 8.5 SU. Wells in areas with limestone may have higher pH. Acidic water tends to be contaminated with pollutants and can corrode metal pipes and tanks. When your pH is between 7.0 and 8.5 SU, the longevity of pipes, tanks, and plumbing fixtures can be drastically increased.

Can the Wrong pH in My Water Be Harmful?
High pH water (alkaline) can taste bitter and cause skin to be dry. Acidic water is more likely to be contaminated with metals like manganese, copper, iron, and lead because it is more corrosive to pipes and welds. It is a very good idea to determine the pH of your water to ensure you are not harming plumbing fixtures and appliances.
