hahaha... Thanks for sharing that story. It made me crack up. You have no idea how much I hear similar stories from people all over. I honestly don't know whether the be flattered that they are using my material or horrified that the teachers don't seem to be able to teach it themselves.

Thank you so much Matt! I really appreciate it. I wish you all the best with everything!

@@ThoughtCog hey good luck to you! Are you taking it through H&R block? You have any tips on good class 2 study guides??

@@ThoughtCog thank you for the information its greatly appreciated. Let me know how you do on your 3, and if you are ever looking for a job in southern ohio let me know.

Awesome! Contrats on passing your exam and thank you for taking the time to comment and let me know!

Congratulations. Glad it's working out for you Jared. That's awesome.

Thank you!

Nice! Thank you!

Ok Alex... First off, you've got the year wrong. It's August 17, 2021. LOL All joking aside, I appreciate the kind words. I'm not sure if you are referring to these KZfaq videos, or my podcasts, but I still stand by all the videos. It's not like the basic principles in the industry have changed much. A pump is still a pump, a well is still a well, treatment techniques are still the same, methods of calculating dosages are all the same. This problem in this video would still be calculated the exact same way, etc. If something were to change, I would adjust the video properly. As for the audio podcasts themselves and the website, I am still active with the website and the information is still current. Do not let the date of the last podcast post fool you. If anything should change from time to time (and I have already done this a few times) I simply edit and re-upload the original media file to my media hosting site. Although this causes changes to the audio podcast you listen to, it does not effect the original release date of the podcast or post.

I always tell people to watch all the bonus math stuff. Some things just didn't fit in with the flow of the courses, so I put them out there as separate videos. Glad you found this now anyways.. :-)

Thank you! Good luck on your exam! If you are testing, make sure you check out all these videos, and the free podcasts at the linked website... I hope that science teacher reference is a good thing. I had some that were awesome, and some that really sucked. LOL

Thank you!

Thank you!

Where do I find the podcasts?

@@robbieliboiron6578 castbox

@@robbieliboiron6578 You can find them in almost any podcast directory. Just look up "The Water Sifu". You can also listen to them or download them directly from the website. WaterSifu.com

Cool! Thanks for listening!

Thank you! I do wish you all the best on your exam!

Thanks Kyle!

LOL

::-) Thank you!

Hope you got it right! If not, I'm sorry I didn't have this up sooner!

@@TheWaterSifu well, it was the only question that I missed. I got the math correct but forgot to account for the next full gallon.

@@TheWaterSifu I'm getting ready to take my class 1 operator exam in August. In Georgia class 1 is the highest level.

Thats a bummer... wish I had this out sooner!

@@TheWaterSifu nah, don't be bummed. I got a 95 on my class 3 test and an 87 I believe on my class 2 test and I really think that a lot of that comes from listening to your podcasts over and over. The note card episodes were very helpful.

check out "water wise pro" on Instagram

:-)

I really should... lol, but it totally took a back burner. I didn't really feel like the interest was there for continuing education hours, and I felt like the site itself was doing great as is for helping people with their exams. But I should either make them or remove the "coming soon" part. I'll make a decision one way or another in the next week or so. Thanks for bringing that up. Currently, the site offers 12 hours, but at least four more would be really helpful to people with certification renewals.

@@TheWaterSifu if you ever do I’ll be on the look out for them ready to purchase. Your videos do help a lot of us. I have purchased all your continuous education videos they really have helped me pass my T3. You’re the man TY!

@@mindandphysique5950 Thank you so much for all the kind words! .... and congrats on passing your T3!

:-)

Just passed my D2 thanks to the audio flash cards and purchasing both the basic and advanced math. Thanks Ty.

@@sicboy83 Congrats on passing your exam. That's awesome!

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I couldn't think of anything "extra" other than the old time tested things I cover in my "passing your exam the first time" video. I wanted to reach out to a few highly certified friends I know in Florida, but they didn't have any extra mainstream sources either.

@@TheWaterSifu No worries. I appreciate you getting back to me during the holidays. Thanks. I will continue to study your videos and podcasts. I have my test scheduled for mid January. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

@@jayalldayism Merry Christmas to you as well. Best of luck on your exam!

@@TheWaterSifu Thank you!

Thank you Dana! :-)

Haha... thank you for thinking of me. I actually looked into the water company on Kauai a few years back when they were hiring, but for a place with such a high cost of living they actually pay shockingly low compared to California.

It's just a constant that you need to memorize. There are 7.48 gallons in one cubic foot. For more on that, check out my other you tube video here, "water math DVD sample", starting at about 1:45

Hey Blake, the best way to reply to that is just to share this question from the Q&A page of my site. "Do You Have Any Wastewater Specific information?" I have talked with many people searching for wastewater training information and always feel a little bad in telling them that this site does not focus on wastewater. The entire focus of this material is on potable (drinking) water treatment and distribution. Although I am very highly certified in potable water treatment (T4) and distribution (D5), I have never worked in wastewater, nor do I hold any certification in it. I do know from talking with people in that field, that many people in wastewater have had very good success with my water math courses, especially with learning the math basics, but having never worked in the field I can’t personally vouch for it. I also know from seeing some wastewater practice questions that there are certain problems they will not cover. Unfortunately, having never worked in that industry or tested for a certification, I’m not familiar with any place to refer people to for that information.
