I have a pond next to my house that I want to go swimming in. Before I jump in, I test the water quality of the pond for safety purposes. When my results come back, I found that the water has a pH of 4. Is the water safe to swim in? Why or Why not?
No! The water is acidic!
0 - 6.9 = Acidic
7.1 - 14 = Basic
7 = Neutral
