Cliff Cummings Water Services - Acid Neutralizer

Let’s start with the bottom-line up front. Few things are more important than the quality of water brought into your home. Those who refuse to compromise on water quality for their families employ the use of acid neutralizers.  Acid neutralizers:

  • Minimizes the risk of heavy metal contamination in your water source
  • Prevents corrosion of pipes. Helps prevent costly repairs.
  • Ensures the quality of your drinking water

A water that is low pH will not merely give your water a poor flavor, but it will also heighten the risk of lead contamination. An Acid Neutralizer is necessary to address this problem.

All water sources originate from the ground where it can pick up minerals along the way going to your home as well as the continued addition of rainwater. We know rainwater is mildly acidic. Heavy vegetation close to the water source will increase the water acidity.

Acidic water can cause pipe corrosion and heavy metal contamination to your drinking water. With the use of calcite and magnesium oxide, these compounds neutralize the contaminated water as it goes through the system. Maintaining your acid neutralizer is cost-effective than dealing with the consequences caused by a low water pH.
