There are two key components of being water geek: understanding and application. Below are our posts covering the products claiming to improve your life when applied to your water ecosystem.
As you will notice, we don’t view all products fondly, as we are not here to promote products — we are here to promote truth, transparency, and an improved water ecosystem. We avoid entering into promotional relationships outside vendors and keep our focus on what matters: you and your health, safety, and happiness.
Of course, this does not guarantee these posts will always be perfect or evergreen. If you have thoughts, questions, or challenges to anything we share, PLEASE comment make them known. The more water geeks we have contributing, the better our world’s H2O will be.
