I have checked the pH of the water at my residence many times, both
withsmall pH tape and with a digital pH meter. It always reads between 4.0
and 5.5, without any damage to my skin (or so I believe). Sam and I have
different water suppliers but the source is the same, i.e., the Appalachian
mountains, so I was not surprised that he reported a reading of 3.5, though
my readings have never been quite that high (low?).
