Episode notes
Municipal Water Is Not Truly Pure
- Municipal water meets safety ranges but is not pure or free of harmful contaminants.
- Water treatment often leaves chemical residues and informational 'memory' that affect health.
Prevent Carbon Filters Becoming Microbial Nurseries
- Avoid using untreated granular carbon filters because they develop microbial growth.
- Use carbon impregnated with antimicrobials (e.g., silver) or pre-treat pathogens before carbon stages.
Charge-Based Nano-Ceramic Filtration
- Non-porous, charge-based filtration can remove pathogens without large pressure drops.
- Multi-layer nano-ceramic filters use electrical charge and selective layers to trap viruses and bacteria effectively.
