City Water
According to the American Journal of Public Health, "up to 2/3 of the harmful effects of chlorine is due to inhalation and skin absorption while showering". "One common factor among women with breast cancer is that they all have 50-60% higher levels of these chlorination by-products (THMs) in their fat tissue than women without breast cancer" – BreastCancerFund.org.
Problems
Municipalities will use chlorine, chloramine, or a combination of both to ensure the water is free from bacteria. However, these chemicals and their by-products can be harmful to your health and enter your body through skin absorption and vapor inhalation. Drinking bottled water or filtering just your sink is not enough! When you are on city water, the water coming into your home can bring with it a whole host of problems, many of them go undetected although you may notice:
Water that tastes or smells funny
Discoloration on water appliances
Visible sediment in the water
Spots appearing on tubs and showers, dishes, and fixtures

Problems
When well water is the water source for your home, there are a number of problems that can arise. More than just being unsightly or distasteful, well water can cause serious problems for your home and health if left untreated. These problems are potentially dangerous, not only for your home and appliances, but also for your health.
Some indicators of well water problems are:
Sulfur smell (often referred to as the "rotten egg" smell)
Orange or brown coloration to the water
Visible sediment in the water
Staining on dishes, fixtures, clothing, and water appliances
The problems indicated by these common issues can include:
Elevated levels of iron and sediment in your water supply
Hydrogen sulfide permeating the entire plumbing system
Potentially harmful chemicals (such as pesticides) contaminating the well

Problems
Water is described as "hard" when it has a high mineral count. High levels of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and other contaminants may damage your home's plumbing system, water appliances and rob them of their energy efficiency. Hard water can irritate skin and hair, even causing or worsening the symptoms of eczema.
Some indicators of hard water problems are:
Reduced water flow and water pressure
Spotting on dishes or fixtures
Dry hair or skin
White mineral buildup on faucets and showerheads
If left untreated, hard water in your home will cause home issues such as:
Buildup and corrosion inside pipes and appliances
Shortened lifespan of water-using appliances (hot water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerators)
Decreased effectiveness of laundry and dish soaps and detergents
Reduced capacity of the heat exchangers to heat water resulting in higher energy costs

Basements and Crawl Spaces are the Most Problematic Areas of the Home
Excessive moisture builds up from infiltration and everyday activities.
The lack of crawl space and basement ventilation leads to a buildup of pollutants and moisture saturation. Tighter homes trap moisture and pollutants, creating an unhealthy and unsafe environment. Natural air flow pulls the pollutants upwards into the living areas affecting the whole house.

Structure is Kept Dry
Minimizing repairs to floors, beams, walls, windows and pipes.
Increases Energy Efficiencies
For the heating and air conditioning system by keeping the entire home drier. It is less costly to heat or cool a dry environment as opposed to a damp one.
Air Quality
We spend as much as 90 percent of our time indoors. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor levels of air pollutants may be two to five times higher, and occasionally more than 100 times higher, than outdoor levels. There are so many things that can negatively impact the air quality in your home and with the focus on tightening up houses to yield energy efficiencies, these problems can be more prominent. While musty odors in your home alert you to the fact that mold is present, many of these indoor air pollutants can go unnoticed. It is important to attack these problems head on so that you ensure your family is breathing clean, healthy air.
Moisture Accumulation
Everyday activities such as bathing, cooking, and washing laundry increase the moisture level. Basements and crawl spaces are the most moisture laden areas of the home as seepage from outside and lack of ventilation increases and traps moisture in these areas. They therefore contain the most problematic air mass in the home. That air mass makes its way into the upper areas of the home through natural airflow known as "stack effect".
Mold Growth
Moisture nourishes mold growth along with other biological contaminants. Mold proliferation can lead to respiratory ailments such as asthma.
Dust Mites
Invisible to the naked eye, dust mites are the most common allergen-producing organism found in homes. They live in our carpets, upholstered furniture, pillows and mattresses. However, in high-humidity environments, they thrive and reproduce.
Gases
Vapors and gases from the ground are known to permeate through the foundation floor and walls in the basements and crawl spaces. This is the natural point of entry of radon gases and toxic vapors that seep in undetected. Combustible appliances such as furnaces, gas dryers, and water heaters can also leak harmful gases into the air.
Formaldehyde
Building materials, cabinetry, carpeting have formaldehyde which is given off in a gaseous state and has a life span of 10 years or more. Viruses – Viruses and bacteria from common health ailments and other sources pollute your home's air allowing diseases to spread from one person to another.
Energy Efficiency
It is a scientific fact that it requires less energy to heat or cool a dry environment as opposed to a moist one. Energy efficiencies gained from building tighter homes will be lost if moisture accumulates and the HVAC system needs to work harder. Energy guzzling dehumidifiers don't help solve the energy problem nor do they improve indoor air quality. As per the EPA recommendations, mechanical ventilation with replenishment air provides the necessary moisture control while improving indoor air quality in the most energy efficient manner.
Water Quality
Whether you get your water from the local municipality or from a private well you need to make sure it is as clean and as healthy as possible. Municipal water can be laden with contaminants, but as long as they are below some government determined level, they are allowed to enter your home. Protecting just your drinking water is not enough as some pollutants can be absorbed through the skin or inhaled when bathing or showering.
City Water
Chlorine
Used by municipalities to kill bacteria in the water, chlorine is prevalent in most municipal water sources. Studies have shown an association between chlorine, it's by products and cancer. According to the American Journal of Public Health, "up to 2/3 of the harmful effects of chlorine is due to inhalation and skin absorption while showering".
THMs
THMs (trihalomethanes) are a broad category of organic chemical compounds that are formed from organic compounds interacting with chlorine. Continued exposure to THMs can have harmful effects to the kidneys, liver, and central nervous system. "One common factor among women with breast cancer is that they all have 50-60% higher levels of these chlorination by-products (THMs) in their fat tissue than women without breast cancer" - BreastCancerFund.org.
VOCs
VOCs (volatile organic chemicals) include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. VOCs can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation, headaches, nausea, or damage to the liver, kidney, and central nervous system.
Fluoride
Many assume that consuming fluoride is only an issue that involves your dental health. However, some scientific studies have found an association between fluoride and adverse health effects including osteoporosis and bone fracture, immune disorders, and low intelligence.
Well Water
Some of the aforementioned contaminants are visible to the naked eye, others can be detected through taste or smell, but others can go completely unnoticed. It is imperative to ensure that the water flowing through your home is clean, fresh, and healthy. WAVE Home Solutions offers you unique, revolutionary products to help you improve the overall environment of your home. Make sure that the two vital elements of air and water that you and your family take into your bodies on a daily basis is the best they can be.
Iron
Iron, Manganese, and rust particles in the water will leave brown, orange, or black stains on sinks, toilets, and other water appliances. It can also stain clothing and leave hair discolored.
Hydrogen Sulfide
Hydrogen Sulfide in the water can emit a rotten egg smell also associated with a sulfur odor. Sediment – Dirt particles will make water undrinkable and unsightly.
Hydrogen Sediment
Dirt particles will make water undrinkable and unsightly.
Gases
Well water can contain gases such as radon and methane. Negative by-products from fracking can contaminate a well. That's how you get water that can light on fire.
