Why does RO water have a low pH?

Reverse osmosis is a filtration method that removes more than 99% of all the contaminants in water. The result is nearly pure water, which has neutral pH of 7. But if it’s exposed to air, RO water drops down to an acidic pH range of 5 – 5.5. … When water absorbs CO2 from the air, it makes a solution of carbonic acid.
