Balance. Your water NEEDS PH in between 7.2ph and 7.8ph so it will not damage your equipment (anything metal that your water will touch, such as rails, ladders, heat exchanger in heater, copper piping, etc. ALSO - it helps in allowing OTHER chemicals to perform.

Just remember - your water will do 3 things: if it has too much of anything, it will leave deposits everywhere. If it doesn't have proper PH, it will destroy metals to try to "grab" it from there. Thirdly? If its perfectly balanced, it will not leave scaling and calcium deposits, and it will not eat away at your plaster or metal equipment to feed itself minerals.
