"What is pH?
We learned in school that water, or H2O, is composed of hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Neutral water is given a pH value of 7.0. It contains equal amounts of hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-). Dissolved chemicals and minerals change the balance of those ions from a perfectly neutral state.

Increase the amount of hydrogen ions (H+), and the water becomes more acid ("low pH"). Increase the amount of hydroxide ions (OH-), and the water becomes more alkaline ("high pH"). The further these values rise or fall, the more acid or alkaline the water becomes."

water in its pure form s 7.0 but tap water is rarely pure, there maybe some lime in it which stops the water eroding the pipes i believe pluse other trace chemicals, you might find that your tap water could be as far as a ph of 9, if it doesnt have lime in it and the water picks up copper, then u could end up with water with a ph of 6ish.

The easiest way to find out is to test it. Theres t
