A pH value of 7 means a substance is neutral. A lower value would mean it's more acidic, and a higher value is a sign of alkalinity. I used drops so I don't have a number, but on a color scale mine is more on the alkaline side.

Just checked mine. I have both regular tap water and filtered water. They both tested the same- around 5.0

Is there an optimum PH level for the human body to maintain health? If so then it seems it would make sense to have your drinking water PH as close to that level as possible, I would think.

Here is a little blurb, it's from a commercial site but it sounds right. BTW, I have very hard water but I like the taste. Softened water often contains a lot of sodium, which is not so good for blood pressure.

Yeah, probably nothing to be concerned about. Our drinking water tastes terrible. Having a water softener AND an RO system makes it tolerable.

Ah, you posted before me : ) But that's a very crude measurement at best.

Chlorine is used to purify water in many places. If you get public water you could try asking the water company. What do those colors translate into in terms of pH? Some places use ozone systems now. And who says Aquafina is at the right pH? I have a well so I haven't tested in some time.

FYI: yellow is neutral, acid is orange/red and alkaline is green/blue.

I'm curious to know if anyone has done a Ph test of their drinking water? My sister who has a lot of houseplants tests the Ph of her water regularly. She made a comment this weekend about how she's noticed a dramatic increase in the concentration of alkaline (chlorine of some sort) in our water lately. I did a Ph test with some Aquafina bottled water (sample on the left) compared to our tap water (sample on the right). There really IS quite a difference. I wonder if this is something I need to be concerned about? (I live in Las Vegas.)

It really does sound interesting!
