Water Guy Unfiltered
30 episodes Last Updated: Apr 24, 25
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!

EP 28 Fluoride
Send us a textFor over 75 years, the United States has been dosing our Municipal water with fluoride. Since the 1970's, Americans have been voting against the idea of adding poison to the city supplied water. But the Government trudged on, imposing regulations based on limited research of the negative side effects, mainly focused on fluorosis. What health officials failed to focus on were the cognitive issues stemming from fluoride consumption. Join the Water Guy as he exposes the battle between Strong Teeth vs Low IQs in Children.
