The recommended pH range for drinking water in the U.S. is 6.5 to 8. If the pH is below 6.5, the water is too acidic and may be unsafe to drink. Acidic water often has heavy metals in it. Even without those metals, acidic water can harm dental, bone, and digestive health. To avoid these health issues, Pilgrim Plumbing, Inc. recommends acid neutralization water treatment in Cohasset, MA. An acid neutralizer is a whole-house system that provides optimal pH levels throughout your home.

Acidic water is a common problem with well systems but isn’t exclusive to them. While municipal water supplies try to maintain the ideal range, there are fluctuations. The only way to always ensure the perfect pH level is with an acid neutralizer system. An acid neutralization water treatment system is a whole-house system we install and maintain. We’ll install it between your home’s plumbing and the main water line. This ensures that all the water you drink, cook with, and bathe in has the proper pH. It also requires accurate sizing by a professional. The system must provide a flow rate that is high enough to meet the household’s demand. Otherwise, you’ll experience low water pressure and other issues.
Watch for the signs that your water supply may be too acidic:
Corroded pipes and valves
Unusual smells from your water
Blue stains in sinks and bathtubs
Water has a metallic or sour taste
Frequent repairs to water-using appliances
An acid neutralizer is relatively simple to install and generally only requires maintenance once a year. Most home pH neutralizers dissolve their filter media into the water supply. That media is usually calcite, magnesium, or a mix of the two. The typical household requires a non-backwashing, gravel-bedded neutralizer. Experts generally only recommend backwashing systems when there’s iron in the water. Iron can foul the bed, and regular backwashing prevents that problem. Gravel-bedded systems have been the traditional choice for home use for many decades. Tank-based systems are a modern alternative. They cost more but use less water, which can pay for itself over time. Tank-based systems also offer programmability and other advanced features like remote monitoring and alerts.
