August 11, 2023San Francisco is taking the lead in water conservation by implementing a decentralized approach to recycling wastewater. This innovative method allows for the reuse of treated wastewater for irrigation and toilet flushing, thus reducing the strain on diminishing freshwater resources. By embracing the idea of reusing non-potable water for essential purposes, the city is working to safeguard its precious natural water reserves, which play a vital role in providing safe drinking water to its residents.

March 10, 2023Water Sommeliers - What do you know about the flavor of water. Being a professional water sommelier is a thing. Much like a wine or beer connoisseur who gets paid for their expertise, a water connoisseur who makes a living educating others about the finer qualities of water is known as water sommelier. We all need to drink water daily in order to survive and thrive, but many of us don't pay too much attention to the quality and taste of the water we ingest.

August 13, 2022Ultrafiltration and Nanofiltration membranes are used in a wide range of applications and industries to separate unwanted dissolved compounds from water, wastewater, and other liquids. But, in order for a membrane to efficiently perform a desired separation, an appropriate molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) must be selected. Molecular weight is generally most accurate when selecting an Ultrafiltration membrane; it is more of a guide or approximation when working with Nanofiltration.

June 17, 2022Eight cups, three liters, one gallon? Straight water or added vitamins and electrolytes? Everybody has an opinion on what it means to be hydrated. Drinking water every day helps regulate mood, keeps the body from overheating, and supports healthy skin and digestion. But staying hydrated without consistent access to clean drinking water can be a challenge.Â
