About this listen

In this episode of Brews & Banter, Frank and Roman welcome Cydian Kauffman from Pure Water Northwest for a deep dive into the complex world of water quality and filtration. Cydian explains the critical distinction between "legal" and "healthy" water standards, highlighting how contaminants like arsenic can still be present in water that meets federal regulations. They discuss the realities of municipal water treatment versus well water, the difference between hard and soft water, and why standard filtration methods might not be enough to protect your home. The conversation shifts to industry solutions as Cydian describes his data-driven approach to water treatment, discussing the difference between comprehensive lab testing and simple over-the-counter gadgets. He details how customized systems are used to address specific problems ranging from plumbing damage to skin conditions like eczema and rosacea caused by harsh chemicals. Whether on city water or a private well, the group explores the various options available for testing and treating home water systems.
