The Effects of Low or High pH
The Environmental Protection Agency requires that the pH of drinking water (including the pH of natural spring water) be between 6.5 and 8.5.
Water that is too acidic has a corrosive quality and can be harmful to consume, in part because it may contain higher than recommended levels of iron, copper, lead, zinc, and other metals. It also is unpleasant to drink, as it has a bitter, metallic taste. What’s more, a diet high in acidity can result in weight gain, slower immune response, and susceptibility to disease.
Water that is more basic (i.e. it has a higher pH) doesn’t pose significant health risks, but it can be unpleasant to consume as well, tasting a bit like baking soda. In addition, it can form what is called “scale,” an unsightly film on plumbing and fixtures, dishes and utensils, etc. Plus, a diet that is too alkaline can lead to inability to metabolize key nutrients.
