Acidic water in Windham slowly eats copper pipes, leaving blue-green stains and, eventually, pinhole leaks. An acid neutralizer raises the pH so the water stops attacking your plumbing and fixtures.
Acid Neutralizers for Windham homes
Homes in many neighborhoods rely on private wells, and newer subdivisions have wells of very different ages in a small area. Southern New Hampshire bedrock makes arsenic, uranium and radon realistic questions for drilled wells.
PFAS has been a growing topic in southern New Hampshire, and many well owners add it to their test list. Houses that sell quickly can change hands without a recent well test, so a new owner is wise to start with a full panel.
What we see in Rockingham County wells
Granite-rich ground across Rockingham County is low in the minerals that buffer acidity, so many inland wells run below neutral. In Windham, we treat the pH when it falls under about 6.5, and sooner if copper readings are high.
What to test first in Windham
- Copper and lead from the tap, to see what the plumbing is giving up
- Total dissolved solids, as a general picture of the water
- Sodium and chloride if the well is near salt water
How it works
How we handle acid neutralizers, step by step
- 1
Read pH and alkalinity
Starting from real values for your Windham well, we decide how aggressive the treatment must be and what the water will look like afterwards.
- 2
Pick calcite or chemical feed
Calcite beds suit moderate acidity and are simple to maintain. Soda ash feeds suit stronger acidity and low flows. We recommend one based on your numbers and your tolerance for upkeep.
- 3
Install ahead of other equipment
The neutralizer goes on the main line before softeners and filters, so that everything downstream sees water at the right pH. A bypass and drain are included for service.
- 4
Refill and check
Calcite media settles and dissolves, so the tank needs topping up on a schedule. We tell you how to check the level and when to call us for a refill.
What shapes the job in Windham
Copper is the quiet victim of acidic water. Along with pH, we like to measure copper at the tap, because it shows how much the plumbing has already given up. For houses near Windham's residential neighborhoods, that is a useful baseline for the retest.
Signs of acidic water
- Pinhole leaks in copper pipes
- Plumbing that has needed repair more often than expected
- Copper detected in a first-draw sample
- A softener that does not seem to solve the staining
