In private water systems, one of the most common causes of corrosion is low pH.
Low pH water is naturally corrosive and highly acidic water which can eat holes in copper plumbing, cause substantial leaks, and ruin appliances. As acidic water corrodes and travels, it carries with it the material that it has stripped along its path.
High pH water is synonymous with hard water and is characterized by the abundance of minerals inside it. Contrary to low pH water’s corrosive nature, alkaline water leaves behind minerals as it travels through plumbing which, if left untreated, causes scale build-up inside pipes. This scale can build up on boilers, hot water heaters, etc.
The most common method of treatment is to neutralize the water by passing acidic water through a bed of granular calcium carbonate. Acidic waters slowly dissolve the calcium carbonate on contact which raises the pH.
Following neutralization and pH correction, leaky pipes, bad taste, and stained fixtures attributed to corrosive water will be reduced/eliminated.
As the calcite neutralizes water, it also increases the hardness of the water therefore, it is important to consult your water treatment professional to address if pH correction created an excess of calcium and magnesium in the treated water.
