[Greenbuilding] Acidic Water

[YankeePerm at aol.com]

Acid water is acid.   If the acid dissolves minerals the water is also hard.  
 I have trouble seeing how a filter removes acidity, which is measured by the 
proportion of free protons (Hydrogen ions) in solution.   I too would be 
interested in that explanation.
