The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency advises that the ideal pH level for water in the home is between 6.5 and 8.5. If your water’s pH is below 6.5, Pilgrim Plumbing, Inc. recommends acid neutralization water treatment in Whitman, MA. An acid neutralizer will eliminate all the problems that come with having acidic water. Acidic water is bad for your health. It’s also terrible for appliances, pipes, valves, and other aspects of your plumbing.

An acid neutralizer, also known as a pH neutralizer, is a whole-home system. That means we position it between the main water line and your home’s plumbing. The system treats all the water coming into your home. You’ll enjoy balanced water from every tap. You’ll also get balanced water from your showerheads and through your water heater and dishwasher.
A key consideration in choosing an acid neutralization water treatment system is sizing. The system needs to handle a volume of water that matches the household demand. That’s why it’s very important to have an experienced plumber size your system. The industry generally sizes acid neutralizers in cubic footage. The average household will need a 1.5-cubic-foot system. There are 1.0 cubic-foot systems for smaller households and 2.5 cubic-foot systems for larger households.
Another consideration is backwashing versus non-backwashing. For most households, a non-backwashing or up-flow neutralizer is preferable. They’re efficient. There’s no need for moving or metal parts, and they don’t use electricity or wastewater. That said, backwashing systems are necessary when the water has iron that could foul the system.
There are various tank configurations to consider as well. Gravel-bedded tanks have been the traditional choice for residential applications for many years. Those are still an option, but there are now modern tank designs that eliminate the need for the gravel bed. This approach allows for high flow rates and water pressure. It also minimizes water waste. Which is better for your home is something you’ll want to discuss with our plumber.
There are many benefits to a whole-home acid neutralizer:
Improving dental health
Extending appliance lifespans
Preventing plumbing corrosion
Enhancing skin and hair health
Better water taste for drinking and cooking
