Water Guy Unfiltered
Originally these episodes were recorded for our one-hour weekly radio show, airing on 101.7 FM in Richmond, VA. That format didn't allow for folks to hear it unless they caught it live, and we have built the library of them so everyone can listen at their leisure. The content is designed for our local water but applies to most of the US. We discuss private well, community well, and municipal water supplies as well as common contaminants found in each. Some examples are: Chlorine, Chloramine, Hardness, Silica, Manganese, Iron, Pathogens, PH and TDS, but we continue to expand our content as we see new problems. if yo want to hear about anything specific, please comment or visit our website at KineticoRichmond.com!
