pH Neutralizer: Shielding Your Home From Acidic Water

• Your first line of defense against the corrosive impact of acidic water on your plumbing, appliances, and overall home well-being.
• Eliminating blue/green copper staining
• Preserves hair and clothes from turning green
• pH protection ranging from levels 6.0 to 6.8

Effects of Low pH

Acidic water is “hungry” water. Often caused by chemical runoff or contact with decomposing vegetation, low pH water is naturally corrosive in its attempt to rebalance itself. High acidity water can eat holes in copper plumbing, cause substantial leaks, and ruin appliances. As acidic water corrodes as it travels, it brings along the material that it has stripped with it. These materials are deposited once the water evaporates, resulting in green-stained fixtures, sinks, and toilets in homes that have copper plumbing and rust-colored stains in homes with galvanized steel or cast iron pipes.

The greater risk comes in the form of leaching, especially from other metals present in home plumbing. Lead, copper, and zinc present in pipes and faucets can be introduced into the water through corrosion and are often identified by the water taking on a metallic taste.
