Water naturally has a blue hue or color.

The degree of blue is dependent upon physical and chemical characteristics. For example, the amount of dissolved oxygen can influence these physical characteristics while compounds such as copper concentration can affect it chemically.

Generally, the more water you see the greater the degree of perceived blue. For example, a glass of water should appear clear while a bath tub full may be a light turquoise blue in appearance. Excessively blue water, however, may be due to copper corrosion or a possible cross connection within the home's plumbing.
