What actually fixes it
This problem is normally handled by installing a calcite or neutralising filter to safely raise the pH to a non-corrosive level.
What you can check yourself
You can check a few things yourself:
– use a simple pool test kit to check the pH
– look for blue-green staining on plumbing fixtures
When to call someone in
Why does my borehole water look dirty or sandy?
Dirty or sandy borehole water usually indicates poor borehole development, pump placement issues, or the need for proper sediment and media filtration.
Why do filters block so quickly?
Filters blocking quickly is often due to incorrect filter selection, unexpected water quality issues, high sediment loads, or lack of staged pre-filtration.
Why is my water pressure low?
Low water pressure is usually caused by undersized pumps, incorrect pressure settings, pipe restrictions, or supply limitations from municipal, borehole, or tank-fed systems.
Why does my pump keep switching on and off?
Rapid pump cycling is typically caused by pressure tank issues, incorrect pressure switch settings, leaks, or pumps that are oversized for the system demand.
When should I call a water system professional?
You should call a professional when problems repeat, systems behave unpredictably, pumps fail regularly, or when you need clarity before making costly system changes.
