How To Treat Acid Well Water. On private water systems, one of the most common causes of pipe and fixture corrosion is from low pH, which can be defined as acidic water with a pH of less than 7.0 pH. Signs of acid water are corrosion of fixtures, blue staining (from copper pipes) or rust staining (from iron pipes).
Maintaining proper pH levels. pH Level is the acid/base content of water. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 with 7 being neutral. Ideally you should strive to maintain pH levels between 7.2 and 7.6 in order to prevent eye/skin irritation, pool surface and equipment damage. Total alkalinity is the measure of certain minerals in the water. These minerals act as buffering agents and allow you to readily control your pH.
