Water| The Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level (SMCL) for pH is
6.5 to 8.5 on pH scale as established by the EPA. What is pH? pH
is an indicator of the acid or alkaline condition of water. The
pH scale ranges from 0-14; 7 indicates the theoretical neutral
point. Water with a pH value less than 7 indicates acidity and
tends to be corrosive, while water with a value greater than 7
indicates alkalinity and tends to affect the taste of the water.
Acidity or low pH of drinking water is usually a result of
natural geological conditions at the site, possibly compounded
by acid rain. Testing for the pH of your well water is crucial
for: - Evaluating the potential for your household plumbing to
be subject to aggressive corrosion. - Evaluating the potential
for your drinking water to contain leached metals such as
copper, lead, iron, cadmium, and zinc from your well pump and
plumbing system. - De
