Problems Caused by Acidic Water

Acidic water can damage your clothing, skin, hair, appliances and plumbing. It can also change the way food made with it tastes. Since you use your tap water for so many different things around the house including drinking, it’s important to make sure that the pH is appropriately balanced.

Acid corrodes, so if acidic water regularly travels through your plumbing system, it will eventually wear away the lining of the pipes. Not only will this result in damage to your plumbing, but the metal that comes off the pipes will travel along with the water and come out of your tap. This is a particular problem if your pipes are soldered together with lead, which was allowed until 1986. If the acid comes in contact with the lead, it can easily break it down and cause it to enter your drinking water supply.

Acid Water Warning Signs

If you do have acidic water, you’ll notice things like blue–green stains around your drains and fixtures. This is the residue of copper from your copper pipes and is the easiest way to tell that the pH of your water may be unbalanced. You should also suspect acidic water if your copper pipes develop pin–hole leaks or if your water tastes somewhat metallic.
