Not necessarily. If you mix pure water with tap water, you will end up with
a pH somewhere between 6.6(the "theoretical" pH of pure water that has
dissolved the amount of CO2 proportionate to atmospheric concentration) and
the pH of your tap water. If you have base water(above pH 7.0, you will not
automatiucally get acid water by mixing DI water and tap water.
