You might think that the higher the pH, the better, when it comes to the quality of your drinking water. But actually, alkaline water can be just as detrimental to your home and health as acid water.
While acid water doesn’t carry enough mineral ions, water with a high alkalinity carries too much. This can cause scale on your pipes and plumbing fixtures. As a result, you may experience issues with your water flow rate, and your water heaters and other appliances may lose efficiency. High pH water can even shorten the lifespan of these appliances.
You will need to employ a water treatment solution to lower the pH of your drinking water. Water softener systems are best suited for the job.
