DIY Water Filtration Experiments
Pennsylvania-based Dierolf Plumbing and Water Treatment published a cool blog post that combines DIY science experiments with home water treatment lessons. The article walks readers through five simple filtration experiments using household items like plastic bottles, coffee filters, gravel, sand, and activated carbon from the aquarium store.
Airplane Hangar to Water Empire
A new profile from WCP Online highlights how Clear Water Filtration turned a simple well water problem into a multi-market success story. What started as founder Jim Parker fixing iron issues in his airplane hangar in 1980 has become a textbook case in business expansion under his kids Jen and Steve.
Local Credibility
A recent blog from Denver-based Water Pros demonstrates how local expertise and educational content can create competitive advantages. The company targets Parker, Colorado specifically by citing local water data (12.28 grains per gallon from the Parker Water & Sanitation District, which falls in the "very hard" category) and tailors their messaging to address the community's specific challenges from deep groundwater aquifers.
Passion Meets Profession
AquiSense engineer Andrea Martinez shares a personal story that shows how water treatment technology can solve problems beyond typical residential applications. Martinez talks about her journey from growing up in Venezuela where water scarcity was a daily reality, to studying environmental engineering at LSU, to earning a master's degree focused on UV-C LED water disinfection technology.
Annual Water Quality Survey
Aquasana just dropped their 7th annual water quality survey which reveals steady but significant growth in American water concerns, with PFAS and microplastics climbing the worry list. The 2025 survey of 1,000+ adults shows year-over-year increases in several key areas.
Water Treatment in New Builds
The team at R2J Chemical Services is making a case that could change how water treaters approach commercial construction. The company argues that water quality shouldn't be pushed to the bottom of construction budgets but should be a priority from day one, pointing out a lesson contractors learn the hard way: adding water treatment systems later is both expensive and disruptive, while untreated water can wreak havoc on boilers, chillers, and HVAC systems from scale buildup and pipes failing early.
Sweet-Tasting Tap Water
Aquasana's latest customer education piece tackles a surprisingly common complaint: sweet-tasting tap water that leaves homeowners confused. The team breaks down seven potential culprits, ranging from high mineral levels (calcium, iron, magnesium) and residual chlorine to pH imbalances and corroding pipes.
