We all know the three phases of water - liquid, solid, and vapor. However, beyond this, there’s the 4th phase of water (also known as Structured Water, Exclusion Zone Water, and H3O2). Structured water is somewhere between a liquid and a solid. It’s a gel state to water—not thick, but silkier than H2O with one extra hydrogen and oxygen molecule. In today’s episode, Dr. Christine Schaffner talks with Kenny Lu about the importance of structured water and the revolutionary new WET technology of Spring Aqua. He shares his journey of how he discovered structured water and the science behind it. Kenny also educates us on the different types of water filters and the importance of water recovery.
