measured in pH (Positive Hydrogen) units and
total alkalinity is ppm (parts per million).

A pH scale of 0-14 indicates whether water is
acid or alkaline. A pH of 7 is neutral and
ideal. An acide level of 6.8 or lower will cause
corrosion of both copper (blue-green staining)
and galvanized plumbing, which can lead to
serious damage to plumbing line and equipment,
especially water heaters.
High alkaline levels (above 1880 ppm or pH 10)
may cause dry skin conditions, and/or
objectionable taste. For either acidic or
alkaline water treatment, a professional should
be consulted for detailed testing and sizing of
the equipment needed to solve a particular
problem. Follow directions on package for
testing.
