LOL. 6.7 and 6.8 are almost neutral. Most people
would think your water is ideal.
Well, do you have any idea what might cause problems in the supply?
Stuff in the pipes maybe ...bacteria etc?
I haven't heard a problem stated yet. Don't know
what showering is uncomfortable means. Too hot,
eats your skin, causes a rash? Shower stained
with what? Why would a stain be caused by acid,
which the water isn't at 6.8 pH.
The top of our sink is slanted in a way that it collects water. Water
that collects there, if there for a day or so develops a greenish
outline, which i presume is oxidated copper. I have never seen this in
any other house. Pink stains also occur quite frequently in the shower.
Surely even that level of acidity can cause pipe corrosion.
