Is Daytona Beach Water Safe? The 6,900x PFHxS Spike You Need to Know About
At Natural Water Solutions, we don’t believe "legal" is the same as "safe."
While Daytona Beach is famous for its pristine coastline, the water coming out of your kitchen tap—and your showerhead—tells a different story. Recent data from the EWG Tapwater Database for Daytona Beach has uncovered levels of contaminants that far exceed modern health guidelines.
At Natural Water Solutions, we don’t believe "legal" is the same as "safe." Today, we’re looking at the massive gap between federal regulations and your family’s health, specifically regarding PFHxS and HAA9.
The Alarming Truth: PFHxS at 6,900x Guidelines
PFHxS is a "Forever Chemical" (PFAS) commonly used in industrial manufacturing and firefighting foams. Unlike other chemicals that wash away, PFAS are bioaccumulative—they stay in your blood and organs for years.
The latest EWG report shows that PFHxS in Daytona Beach water was found at levels 6,900 times higher than health-protective guidelines. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), long-term exposure to these chemicals is linked to:
Immune System Suppression: Making it harder for your body to fight off common illnesses.
Thyroid & Hormone Disruption: Leading to fatigue, weight gain, and metabolic issues.
Liver & Kidney Damage: As these organs struggle to filter out synthetic chemicals.
Developmental Risks: The EWG notes that PFAS exposure during pregnancy is linked to lower birth weights and developmental delays.
HAA9: The Silent Byproduct of City Treatment
When Daytona Beach treats its water with chlorine to kill bacteria, a chemical reaction occurs that creates Haloacetic Acids (HAA9). In our area, HAA9 levels were found to be 445 times higher than health guidelines. While the city remains within "legal" limits, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified HAA9 as a major concern, with long-term exposure linked to an increased risk of bladder cancer.
Why Whole-House Filtration is the Answer
Many people think an under-sink filter is enough, but "Forever Chemicals" don't just enter your body when you drink them. You absorb these chemicals through your skin while bathing and breathe them in through steam during a hot shower.
Natural Water Solutions provides a medical-grade barrier for your entire home. Our advanced Multi-Stage Whole House Systems are engineered to remove up to 99.9999% of PFHxS, PFAS, and HAA9. Unlike basic filters, our systems use a combination of:
High-Grade Catalytic Carbon: Specifically designed to strip away TTHMs, HAA9, and chlorine.
Specialized Adsorption Media: Engineered to "trap" the molecular structure of Forever Chemicals so they never reach your skin or your glass.
Sediment Protection: Ensuring your plumbing and appliances are protected from the scale and grit found in Central Florida water.
