Threat of PFAS Pesticides
SpringWell wrote an educational piece connecting agricultural PFAS use to drinking water contamination while promoting their whole-home PFAS filtration system as the solution.

Holiday PFAS Education
This month, SpringWell started their "12 Days of PFAS" series that mixes holiday themes with important water safety education. Author and chief water specialist Tommy Stricklin set up the campaign to build knowledge step by step, starting with basic PFAS facts and moving through where contamination comes from, health risks, and rule changes before showing their water filter as the answer.

Watercure published a timely guide explaining why water tastes different during winter months, positioning themselves as the solution for holiday hosting concerns.
