We have an issue with sprinkler water becoming acidic 5.5-6 PH.

System is 6 months old. The Bellville seal corrodes and cracks resulting in 
drips from sprinkler.

6 sprinklers so far. Columbus water is not acidic. Test from back flow drain 
shows acid 5.6 PH

Manufacturer says it is acid water corrosion that damages seal.



Other tests also acidic.

Some black pipe, mostly CPVC in an old Frat house

System drained and filled 6 times.

What can be causing low PH in a few weeks.

Pictures show corrosion inside the sprinkler throat and seal.

There is also an antifreeze system that does not have this problem.



Suggestions please
