Protecting Your Plumbing, Protecting Your Home

What Is an Acid Neutralizer?

If your home’s water supply is naturally acidic, it can corrode copper and metal pipes, stain fixtures, and reduce the lifespan of your water heater and appliances. An acid neutralizer is a whole-home water treatment system that balances the pH level of your water before it flows through your plumbing.

By neutralizing acidic water, this system protects your entire plumbing network from corrosion and pinhole leaks—helping you avoid costly damage and improving the overall quality and taste of your water. Whether you’re on a private well or municipal water system, Mallick Plumbing and Heating Inc. can test your water, recommend the ideal neutralizer, and install it for long-term protection.
