been there, done that. ph is 7, which is exactly the ph level for pure water. below 7 is acidic and above 7 is alkaline. your body works well at 7.4, but that does not mean you have to drink water at 7.4 ph level. your pancreas helps to compensate the body for lack of alkalinity. let the body do its job. meanwhile you do yours by drinking ph 7 water, which is the closest to pure water.
if its really 7, something is wrong with your pH probe. unless u are doing it in an enclose environment that are isolated from surrounding atmosphere filled with inert gas, and the water is freshly prepared.
Pure water will really be slightly more acidic than tap water ranges as low as pH about 5.8 plus to 6.something. the longer you leave it in open air, the more acidic it will get. the acidic got nothing to do with the rubbish mentioned by our uneducated tonychat and his suck cock buddy.
the main reason for the increased in acidic is because as the water is very pure, lack of ions etc. its solvation ability increases significantly. this lead to an increased in the solvency of carbon dioxide in it leading to the formation of carbonic acid, which is actually just hydrated carbon dioxide. carbon dioxide due to its symmetry its dipole moment cancel off and thus its highly non polar in nature, this explains its poor solubility in normal water, but if the water is really that pure, CO2 will dissolve in it more readily.
