Think of pH like a mood ring for water. It measures how acidic or basic that liquid is on a scale from 0 to 14.
A pH of 7 is perfectly neutral—like pure, balanced Zen. Below 7 is acidic (think lemon juice), and above 7 is basic (like baking soda).
So, what is the pH of tap water? Most municipal tap water falls between 6.5 and 8.5. That’s a sweet spot for both your pipes and your palate!
