Acidic Water Neutralizing

Acidic water is any water with a PH below 7.0, as 7.0- 7.5 is considered neutral. Since water dissolves more substances than other liquids, it is particularly vulnerable to contamination; meaning the water's PH can easily become unbalanced by both natural and man-made factors. When humans burn fossil fuels, for example, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the atmosphere. These air pollutants mix with water and other materials before falling to the ground in the form of acid rain, which lowers the PH of the water sources it falls on.

Low PH water is not considered a health concern, but it can create problems around your home. Since acidic water is corrosive, it can damage your plumbing system by creating pinhole leaks in your pipes, leading to water damage. Acidic water also presents aesthetic issues, as it can cause blue/green stains on your plumbing fixtures, bathtub, toilet bowl, and sink. The Filtermax™ Neutralizing Filters raise your water's PH levels back to neutral, eliminating problems in your home caused by acidic water.
