Different Types of Water
Raw Water
Raw water is water found in the environment that has not been treated and does not have any of its minerals, ions, particles, bacteria, or parasites removed.
Working Water
Working water, for washing, bathing and cleaning, makes up 99 percent of the water that’s used in the home. Even though your water is supplied by a city or municipality, it is probably hard and likely contains a disinfectant like chlorine or chloramine. Hardness can cause problems with your water-using appliances, surfaces that come in contact with water, fixtures and tableware. Over time, chlorine/chloramine can damage your clothing in the wash, and it can dry out rubber seals in water-using appliances. City working water is frequently treated with a prefilter, water softener and dechlorination or chloramine removal system.
Drinking Water
Although the water you use for drinking and cooking makes up about one percent of the water used in your home, its quality is probably most important to you. To make sure water is safe for human consumption, water supplies are treated with disinfectants at the water treatment facility. These disinfectants ensure the water meets guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). For safety reasons, the disinfectant must remain in the water while it travels through the distribution system to your home, but once there, it is no longer needed (or wanted).
