Are you noticing green or blue staining in your fixtures or experiencing pinhole leaks in your plumbing? Is your hot water heater breaking down too quickly? That is because Long Island well water is acidic. Acidic water is characterized by a pH level below 7 on the pH scale, with 7 indicating neutral (non-acidic) water. The pH of LI well water typically falls within the range of 5.5 to 6.8, where a one-point decrease on the pH scale, such as going from 6 to 5, signifies a tenfold increase in acidity! The lower the pH reading, the more aggressive the corrosion becomes.

Within your home, acidic water damages plumbing, fixtures, and appliances. Acid Neutralizers not only address acidity but also contribute to sediment reduction and removal. Installing a Mermaid Acid Neutralizer is a crucial step to counteract the corrosive effects of acidity to help increase the longevity of your home's plumbing infrastructure.
