                                While the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends a pH range of 6.5 to 8.5 for municipal drinking water, some people prefer to increase their water's alkalinity for potential health benefits. There are several methods, from simple household additives to sophisticated filtration systems, that can help you achieve a higher pH for your tap water at home.
