Water with a low pH can have an unpleasant taste, but it can also be hazardous. Acidic water can damage your pipes and put your family’s health in jeopardy. An acid neutralizer system can raise the pH of the water that comes through your pipes and help you avoid costly bills for repairs and medical treatment.
What Makes Water Acidic?
Minerals that get into water can reduce its pH to harmful levels. Vegetation near a water source and pollution that gets into rainwater can introduce minerals to the groundwater. Acidic water can then make its way into your home.
What Problems Are Associated with Acidic Water?
Water with a low pH often has a metallic taste, but taste is the least of your concerns. Acidic water can stain the sinks and tubs in your house and cause them to drain slowly or get clogged frequently. In addition, acidic water can corrode pipes, which are made of metal. If metal enters the water supply, it can cause a variety of potentially serious medical problems.
How Can an Acid Neutralizer System Help?
An acid neutralizer system can introduce minerals into your water at the main and raise the pH to a safe level before the water has a chance to enter your house, damage the plumbing, or put your loved ones’ health at risk. With an acid neutralizer system, you’ll have safe water with a pleasant taste, and you won’t have to worry about health risks or the need for plumbing repairs.
