What are PFAS? Why does soft water "feel" soft? Do electronic water treatment options work? What's the deal with citrus-based systems?
In this episode, we answer all these questions and more as we dive deep into the fascinating world of water filtration with our special guest, Steve Hamilton.
Steve is the National Sales Manager for Frankin Water Treatment.
He has multiple degrees, including a B.A. in pre-med, an MBA, and several trade degrees. He is also a published writer for WC&P. (See links below)
Steve takes us through the many different water filtration processes, explaining the various methods and the science behind each one.
From "Saltless", reverse osmosis, softeners, and conditioners, to magnetic options, we’ll explore the pros and cons of each technique, and help you understand which method might be best for your needs.
Whether you're a homeowner looking to improve your tap water quality, a tech looking to expand their knowledge, or just curious about the processes that make our water safe to drink, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice.
We also discuss the opportunities within the water treatment industry if you are looking to make a career change.
