Balance
Keeping water pH balance is a key part of water quality.
pH balance tells us if water is acidic, neutral, or basic (alkaline). It’s measured on a scale from 0 to 14:
- pH 7 is neutral (like pure water).
- Less than 7 is acidic (like lemon juice).
- More than 7 is basic/alkaline (like baking soda).
Why it matters:
Keeping water at the right pH balance is important for water quality. If pH is too high or low, it can harm plants, animals, and even pipes and equipment.
In short:
pH balance means keeping water neither too acidic nor too basic—just right
