pH does not "get into your water"- it is a measure of what the water IS- acid or alkaline. Materials that make the water acidic or alkaline can enter the water many ways- from pollution that is washed out of the air when it rains, by pollutants that go directly to surface waters, etc. But nature also plays a role. Water that seeps through limestone rock becomes alkaline from the limestone. Water that seeps through plant materials (humus or peat) becomes acidic, since the plant materials are mildly acidic.

Does boiling water affect its pH?
Adding water will affect the pH. Adding water will shift the pH towards the neutral mark. In the case of an alkaline solution, there will be a decrease in pH.
How can I check the pH in water effectively?
To check the pH in water effectively, you can use a pH testing kit or a pH meter. Follow the instructions provided with the kit or meter to accurately measure the pH level of the water.
PH of salts insoluble in water?
Salts that are insoluble in water typically do not affect the pH of the solution. This is because they do not dissociate into ions in water to contribute to the H+ or OH- ions that determine pH. If there are impurities or other substances present that can dissolve and affect pH, then the pH may change.
