What is RO pH Booster?
RO removes most minerals, and dissolved carbon dioxide passes through the membrane, so RO permeate often has a low pH. Low-pH water can be corrosive to pipes and fittings and may fall outside drinking water limits.
A pH booster is dosed after the RO to bring the pH back into the required range, often together with remineralisation minerals.
Where pH booster is used
- Packaged drinking water and mineral water plants
- RO plants for hotels, hospitals and buildings
- Process water that must be within a set pH range
How to use pH booster
- Measure the pH of the permeate and the target pH.
- Dose into the permeate line or product tank with a dosing pump.
- Check the pH regularly and adjust the dose.

Frequently asked questions
Why is RO water acidic?
Dissolved carbon dioxide passes through the RO membrane while the minerals that buffer pH are removed, so the permeate often has a low pH.
Can I add minerals and raise pH together?
Yes. Many drinking water plants dose remineralisation minerals and a pH booster after the RO to adjust taste and pH.
