6 is acidic, 7 is neutral and above 7 is alkaline. It would be equivalent to drinking an 8 Oz glass of water with about 5 drops of vinegar in it.

A pH of 6 indicates very slight acidity, not alkalinity; 7 is neutral, and higher is alkaline while lower is acid. Acid rain has a pH below 5, so water with a pH of 6 wouldn't be as acidic as that, but it would still clearly indicate that this is not pure water that you have. It might be harmful to a plant to be watered with only water with a pH of 6, but a person should be able to handle drinking a significant amount of it without suffering any ill effects; this is less acidic than tea.

You can easily drink water with pH of 6, e.g. rain is pH 6. Here 's a list of real liquids and there pH:
pH 7.4:human blood
pH 7: pure water (neutral)
pH 6.6: milk
pH 6: normal rain
pH 5: slightly acidic rain
pH 4.5: tomatoes
pH 4: acidic rain, tomato juice
pH 3: vinegar
pH 2.27: Coca Cola
pH 2: lemon juice
pH 1: the acid in you stomach, battery acid

i might do a 25% water substitute on a daily basis and stop changing out the clear out...if it should be wiped sparkling you rinse it interior the water you're removing from the tank ...after the water has settled all the way down to 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites with a analyzing of 10 - 20 nitrates i might do a 25% water substitute as quickly as a week.i might additionally upload salt interior the quantity of a million tbsp in line with 5 galls. making effective that the water you upload has been declored and is the superb temp.

6 I dont' think is a big deal, and no, 6 is in the acidic range. Going above 7 is alkaline.

No, that is false. Average natural water has a Ph of between 6 and 7. 7 is the magic number for being Ph balanced.

Safe water means water that will not harm you if you come in contact with it. The most common use of this term applies to drinking water, but it could also apply to water for swimming or other uses. Safe water includes treated surface water, as well as untreated but uncontaminated water from sources such as natural springs and sanitary wells.

To be safe, the water must have sufficiently low concentrations of harmful contaminants to avoid sickening people who use it. The list of harmful contaminants includes disease-causing microbes such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoans; cancer-causing chemicals such as many pesticides, organic solvents, petroleum products, and some metals and metalloids; nitrates and nutrients, endocrine-disrupting compounds, strong acids, strong bases, radionuclides, and any other acutely toxic substance. Defining safe water becomes a matter of risk assessment.
Without safe water, people cannot lead healthy, productive lives.

There is no single test to determine the safety of drinking water. Many contaminants can present a health risk if present in sufficient concentrations. These include biological contaminants such as bacteria or viruses; inorganic chemicals such as lead, nitrate or sulfate; and organic chemicals such as insecticides, herbicides, fuel and solvents. Other contaminants, while not a health risk, can make water less desirable for domestic use. These are referred to as nuisance contaminants and include calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese and hydrogen sulfide

I hope this helps.

6 PH means acid u could add a small amount of baking soda till it was PH 7 .

1-6 is acidic
8-14 is basic
7 is neutral

6 is slightly acidic. Most water is not 7 unless it is distilled, the general pH range for water is 6.5-7.5.

NO, 6 is an weak acid.....but is normal for drinking

2007-01-28 04:03:24 · answer #9 · answered by loligo1 6 · 0 2

7 is neautral, so 6 is slightly acidic, no problem at all
