When is your pH Low enough to get a Calcite Filter?

we had our pH tested in our Well water twice and once it was 6.6 ands the other was 6.8.

Should I be concerned with the lower then 'normal' pH? We had a filter guy come out and recommend a Calcite filter, though after talking to some friends at the office they didn't seem to think that the 6.6-6.8 were low enough to justify the benefit from it.

Suggestions?

Thanks, Scott

Is you water pipe copper? If so, how old is it?

The 6.8 is not terribly low (acedic), but over a long period of time it will desolve your copper. You might want to check the remaining wall thickness of your copper.
