pH Level: Acidity and Alkalinity

Roystone Hot Springs has a pH level of 7.5, classifying it as basic or alkaline water.

The $pH$ scale ranges from 0 (acidic) to 14 (alkaline), with 7 being neutral. The higher the alkalinity, the better the soak. Alkaline minerals are typically beneficial and gentle on the skin, whereas acidic minerals can be harsh. Our alkaline water quality is primarily the result of the high concentration of potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium ions.
