pH Neutralizers in Connecticut FAQs​

Common signs include blue-green stains on sinks and fixtures, pinhole leaks in copper pipes, and metallic or bitter-tasting water. You may also notice dry, itchy skin after showering. The most reliable way to determine if you need a pH neutralizer is to have your water tested by TMS Comfort—we can measure your water’s pH level and recommend the right solution.
Ideally, your water should have a pH between 6.5 and 8.5, with 7 being neutral. Water below 6.5 is considered acidic and can corrode pipes, fixtures, and appliances over time. Water above 8.5 is alkaline and can also cause problems, though acidic water is more common in Connecticut wells and tends to be more damaging to plumbing systems.
A pH neutralizer uses calcite, magnesium oxide, or a blend of both to raise the pH of acidic water as it passes through the system. As water flows through the neutralizing media, it dissolves small amounts of these minerals, which increases the pH to a safer, neutral level. The system requires periodic maintenance to replenish the media as it gets used up over time.
Yes, acidic water is corrosive and can dissolve lead from older pipes, solder, and plumbing fixtures, contaminating your drinking water. This is especially concerning in homes built before 1986 when lead solder was commonly used. Installing a pH neutralizer protects your family’s health by preventing this corrosion and keeping lead levels safe.
Most pH neutralizers need the media replenished once or twice a year, depending on your water usage and how acidic your water is. TMS Comfort can inspect your system during routine maintenance visits to check media levels and ensure it’s working properly. Regular maintenance ensures your plumbing system stays protected and your water quality remains consistent.
