When we talk about water pH, it’s important to start by pointing out what acidic water is. All water has a pH rating, ranging from a low of 0 to a high of 14. Distilled water is at a pH level of 7, which is neutral. Water with a pH level ranging from 8 to 14 is alkaline. Water that has a pH level between 0 and 6 is acidic.
There are many problems with acidic water when it comes through your plumbing and into your body.
Premature deterioration of piping
Rust particles in tap water
Staining on plumbing fixtures
Metallic taste
Damages teeth
Harmful to skin and hair
There’s no denying the fact that acidic water can wreak havoc on your home’s plumbing system and even cause damage to your health in the long run. Fortunately, home acid neutralization water treatment is the perfect solution to help increase the pH level of your water and eliminate the effects of acidity.
This acid neutralizer system works best when near the main water supply line coming into your home. This way, it can treat all the incoming water before it travels through your various pipes and appliances. This system works by using calcite to increase the pH level of your acidic water to bring it to a desirable, neutral state.
Calcite is a very alkaline substance with a pH of 9.4. Inside the neutralizer system, there’s a special calcite filter. As water passes through this filter, the calcite inside the filter dissolves into the water. This natural addition works to enhance the pH level of the water by making it more alkaline. How much the pH level rises will be dependent on numerous factors, including the current acidity of your water supply. To keep this acid neutralization water treatment system in good working condition, you’ll need to have calcite added every year to the system. After our expert installation, we can help with all the maintenance to keep your neutralizer working reliably.
