Key Takeaways:

• Blue-Green Stains: The hallmark sign of acidic water (low pH) is blue-green staining on white sinks, which is actually dissolved copper from your pipes.
• Corrosion Risk: Acidic water eats away at copper plumbing, leading to pinhole leaks and expensive repiping jobs.
• The Solution: An Acid Neutralizer tank uses natural calcite media to raise the pH back to a neutral, non-corrosive level.
• Hardness Side Effect: Neutralizing acid adds some hardness to the water, so a water softener is typically installed after the neutralizer.

If you suspect your well water is acidic, a simple pH test can confirm it. Installing an acid neutralizer is a critical step to protect your plumbing from costly, long-term corrosion damage.
