Tap water - if it's pure - should be neutral. However - water companies add various chemicals (such as fluoride) in the cleaning process which changes the pH level slightly towards the acidic side of the scale.

Is tap water a acidic alkaline or neutral?
It depends where the water comes from and what substances are dissolved in it. It's often nearly neutral, but can vary from about 6.5 (slightly acidic) to about 9.5 (alkaline), according to the World Health Organisation.
Is grey water acidic or alkaline?
alkaline
Is pure water a acidic alkaline or neutral?
Pure water is not neutral it is amphoteric which means with bases(alkaline) it acts as acidic and with acids it acts as basic(alkaline)
Lemon juice is acidic and pure water is neutral but then why is 'lemon water' alkaline?
Lemon water is still acidic, you can easily test this yourself with a basic pH meter (they don't cost much). As the lemon water becomes more dilute it will approach the pH of the water. Tap water is commonly slightly alkaline (pH 7.4 or so) and so at very high dilutions the lemon water will exceed 7, but then there really isn't much lemon in it by that stage. pH < 7 is acidic, pH > 7 is alkaline.
When ammonia is bubbled into water does it become acidic or alkalinity?
It stays alkaline

Is Tap water basic ar acidic?
Tap water is only slightly acidic
Is pure water a acidic alkaline or neutral?
Pure water is not neutral it is amphoteric which means with bases(alkaline) it acts as acidic and with acids it acts as basic(alkaline)
Can you adapt fish to a acidic or alkaline water chemistry?
definetly not acidic

What is the water in a water made up of?
Alkaline water has smaller water molecules, which can hydrate the body better than tap water. Alkaline water simply has less H+ and more OH's. This is accomplished through electrolysis or ionization. Waters with more H+ is acidic while water with more OH is alkaline. In nature this ionization happens naturally.
When ammonia is bubbled into water does it become acidic or alkalinity?
It stays alkaline
Can alkaline water kill fish?
No only acidic
Is tap water acidic or neutral?
Tap water is ever so slightly basic. Hello, I have had two chemistry classes and in each class we tested the pH of tap water and it is slightly acidic, which my prof. said was true. I tested my tap water with pH paper, it was approximately 6.75 which is slightly acidic. Remember that tap water is not natural, it is a product of a water treatment plant.
Is tap water commonly acidic basic or neutral?
It is practically slowly acidic
