What is pH?
pH is a measure of how acidic/basic water is. The range goes from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base. The pH of water is directly related water quality.
pH in water can indirectly affect human health. Water with acidic. Water with acidic pH levels can corrode plumbing and leach metal. High levels of lead in drinking water can lead to cancer.
