Water quality is an important indicator, both in industry and in everyday life. In order to maintain health and maintain the optimal balance in the body, a person needs to consume at least 2 liters of good quality water per day. But quite often, utilities engaged in water supply do not carefully monitor the indicators and to provide themselves with clean water, residents must take independent measures. At the moment, there are several options for standardizing household water supply, SanPIN RF, WHO and European standard. In accordance with recommendations suitable for drinking, water is considered to be from 7 to 7.5 mmol. It is this value that is one of the most important, and determines the level of usefulness of such water for the body.
It is worth noting that in each state the established optimal PH indicator may vary significantly, but its compliance with the norms is strictly observed by competent institutions.
The value of pH determines the hydrogen indicator, that is, the presence of a certain amount of free hydrogen ions. With a reduced content of ions, an alkaline reaction will be observed, with increased – acidic, if the amount of hydrogen ions is approximately equal to the number of ions, water will be considered neutral.
To determine the hydrogen indicator, pH meters are used, which allow you to obtain the most accurate data, guided by which you can adjust the quality of both household and technical water supply.
Why is it important to control the PH indicator?
PH of water is an important characteristic, on which the nature of the course of various processes of the chemical and biological type depends that occur in water.
Depending on the PH level, the time of the course of various chemical reactions can change significantly, corrosion aggressiveness changes, and the level of toxicity of harmful substances can also fluctuate.
In the implementation of water treatment measures, control over the level of PH is carried out at all stages. Any fluctuations in this indicator can not only significantly affect the characteristics of water, but also have a significant impact on the effectiveness of the process. This approach allows you to supply water for the population and enterprises always of proper quality and, accordingly, established state standards.
