Acid water in CT

Acidic water is corrosive. It causes:

• Blue green stains
• Metallic tasting water
• Elevated levels of copper and lead
• Leaks in your copper plumbing

Acidic water means a low pH BELOW 7.0
Alkaline water means a high pH ABOVE 7.0

The State of CT Dept of Public Health recommends a pH between 6.4 and 10 units

IT’S EASY TO SOLVE. You need a Water Neutralizer

Frequently Asked Questions about Acidic Water

Do I really need to treat low pH water?

• Absolutely. Once you see blue-green stains, the damage to your pipes has begun
• You will eventually get leaks in your copper plumbing
• You CAN’T undo the damage- but you can prevent further damage

What do the pH numbers mean?

• pH is measured on a scale from 0 to 14
• A pH of 7 is Neutral
• pH is measured on a logarithmic scale
• There is a huge difference between a Neutral 7 and an Acidic 6
• Think of a pH of 7 as you just ate one hamburger and you are perfectly full
• A pH of 6.0 would be like eating 10 more hamburgers
• A pH of 5.0 is like eating 100 more hamburgers. There is a BIG difference!

Does a low pH add copper and lead to my water?

• Yes, it can.
• Acidic water can leach copper and lead from your pipes, solder and fixtures
