WATER CONCERNS

Bladder cancer has been associated with exposure to chlorination by-products in drinking water.

Exposure also occurs through

Inhalation (Breathing Vapors in the shower)

Dermal absorption (Through your skin)

Bladder cancer risk was associated with exposure to trihalomethanes (THMs) through ingestion of water, through inhalation as well as dermal absorption. This is a concern during showering, bathing, and swimming in pools.

There is no EPA regulation on bathing water. When chemicals are absorbed into your skin they can quickly enter your blood stream. Dermal absorption rates are highest where your skin is thin, like the back of your neck.

Why is chlorine such a problem now?

“The unintended side effect of chlorinating water to meet federal drinking water regulations creates a family of chemicals known as trihalomethanes (THM). The Environmental Protection Agency lumps them under the euphemism “disinfection byproducts” but we call them what they are: toxic trash.

The EPA regulates four members of the trihalomethane family, the best know of which is chlorform. California considers chloroform a known carcinogen. There are hundreds of types of these byproduct chemicals that are simply not regulated in our drinking water.

Scientists suspect that trihalomethanes in drinking water cause thousands of cases of bladder cancer every year. These chemicals have also been linked to colon and rectal cancer, birth defects, low birth weight and miscarriage.”

RENE SHARP, SENIOR RESEARCH SCIENTIST

“Putting Chlorine in the water supplies is like starting a time bomb. Cancer, heart trouble, premature senility; both mental and physical, are conditions attributable to chlorine-treated water supplies. It is making us grow old before our time by producing symptoms of aging such as hardening of the arteries.”

DR HERBERT SCHWARTZ, BIOLOGICAL CHEMIST

Research has shown that chemicals in our water are a real issue. Bill Hague put his engineers to work to solve this problem for us in the 1990’s.

His Hague engineers designed the Watermax. A system engineered to remove the chlorine, filter chemicals (disinfection by-products and other VOC’s) and eliminate water hardness issues in a singe system.

Fast forward 25 years… we have even more chemicals in our water and the Watermax is still the only true whole house filtration system.

If you’re interested in chlorine and chemical filtration for your entire home, you’ve come to the right place.

Client Testimonials

The Hague Watermax system is wonderful. Our clothes and dishes are cleaner. I use much less soap and they shine. The showers make your skin feel clean and soft.

Donna Kingsley

The reverse osmosis drinking water system makes the water taste much better. We are on a ranch with a well water system that is extremely hard and tastes bad. We used to have to buy bottled water to drink, and now we simply refill the bottles were provided with the system.

Malcom Kingsley

Simply put, everything is cleaner! I love my spot-free glasses, my clean shower stall and my clean clothes. No more filmy stuff all over my body. I tell all my friends about my clean start. My only regret is not having gotten it sooner.

Linda Luong

We noticed a huge difference in how soft our skin felt after taking our very first shower and bath. Our Watermax whole house filtration system is fantastic. We are using less lotion. We can't believe the difference in how wonderful and healthy our skin looks and feels.

Lori Hall

We appreciate knowing that the water we are breathing in the steam shower is pure and healthy, without chlorine. We are confident that we made a wise investment to protect not only our health but also our new plumbing fixtures and glass shower doors. The decision to install our new Hague Watermax system during the process of our extensive remodel, right from the start was a good one.

Stephen HallArroyo Grande, CA

Just for starters, my husband and I have noticeably softer hair and clearer skin. The Water in our area has always been a problem for me. I've had other water softeners and none of them helped my dry, irritated skin. Within two days of showering with Hague Water, my skin was completely soft and clear.

Our Beliefs

We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the water in their home free of chemicals like chlorine and the harmful by-products of the chlorination process.

Many people have never taken the time to educate themselves on the importance of bathing in clean water.

We live in a world where our children are being born full of chemicals that weren’t even invented when our grandparents were born.

Clean water is vital to our health. Our mission is to educate as many people as possible about the harmful effects of the chemicals in our water.
