The pH value of water is a basic parameter that indicates the acidity or alkalinity of the water. In medical facilities, controlling the pH value is of particular importance as it can influence the chemical reactions in water-bearing systems and devices. A pH value that is too low or too high can impair the effectiveness of disinfectants and cause corrosion in pipes and medical equipment.

An optimal pH value helps to maintain water quality and ensure that the water meets the requirements for clinical applications. Especially in areas such as dialysis or the sterilisation of medical instruments, the pH value must be stable and within a certain range to ensure that the water does not cause any harmful side effects. An unbalanced pH value can result in disinfectants not working properly or materials being damaged by corrosion.

By regularly monitoring the pH value, it can be ensured that the water remains suitable for all clinical applications and does not pose a risk to patients and staff. Controlling the pH helps to maintain the stability of chemical processes in water-bearing systems and ensures consistently high water quality that meets the stringent requirements of the healthcare sector.
