pH stands for “potential of Hydrogen.” Fancy, right? It’s just a scale from 0 to 14. Zero is angry battery acid. Seven is perfectly neutral—like pure, boring bliss.
Fourteen is drain cleaner territory. That’s the “don’t drink this” zone. Your water usually sits between 6.5 and 8.5. But it’s a wild world out there.
Fun fact: Lemon juice has a pH of 2. Your stomach acid is around 1.5. Your tears? A peaceful 7.4. Water is basically a mood ring for your environment.
