There is a lot to know about the water we drink and use every day.
We’ll keep you educated on water quality, contaminants, trends, best practices, treatment technology, and more.
EPAs New Regulation on Forever Chemicals (PFAS)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has officially set safety standards for certain Forever Chemicals found in drinking water sources and in everyday products like nonstick cookware and stain-resistant fabrics. These chemicals, known as PFAS, pose significant health risks.
Water Contaminants: PFAS (Forever Chemicals)
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, commonly known as Forever Chemicals or PFAS are one of the most concerning health risks we are currently facing. It is in our drinking water and in innumerable sources in our environment. It persists in our water supply, never degrades, and its chemical make-up is resistant to heat, grease and water. Wherever these chemicals go — in the environment, or in our bodies — they will stay.
UV Sterilization 101 for drinking water
In this blog, we teach about how UV sterilization works by using ultraviolet light to dismantle the DNA of microscopic troublemakers. Bacteria, viruses, even protozoa don't stand a chance against the mighty power of UV rays.
Water Contaminant: Arsenic
The greatest threat to public health from arsenic originates from contaminated groundwater. Utah currently reports 371 water utilities serving over 3 million people that have arsenic contamination at toxic levels above health guidelines.
Utah well water contaminants
As a private well owner, you are responsible for the safety and quality of your well water. But many of our well water users aren’t aware of the most common contaminants in their water and how to properly treat their water to make it drinkable, healthy, and pure. We’ve researched the most common contaminants found in rural well water, including those from agricultural & livestock operations, industrial run-off, landfills, and urban waste.
