Our water is clean. No significant contaminants or e. coli bacteria were found.
The negative finding is that the water has a pH of 6.34 which is somewhat acid. It is quite low in minerals such as calcium which normally bring the pH up to a normal level which is between 6.5 and 8.5. (Low pH is acid, high pH is alkaline.)
Perhaps this is a temporary situation brought on my acid rainfall. I'll have to repeat the pH test to see.
Low pH in water can cause corrosion in pipes. Healthwise, the corresponding lack of minerals in the water might contribute to osteoporosis so I need get plenty of minerals by eating enough vegetables.
