Correction: In this episode, the guest mentioned that the EPA was formed in the 1990s. To clarify, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was actually established in December 1970 under President Richard Nixon, in response to growing public concern about environmental pollution.

Water is something that intersects with every aspect of our lives, both at home and in the backcountry.
Whether you're filtering water from a stream, swimming in a local lake, or filling up a glass of water at home, the quality of that water matters.
But knowing if your home water quality is up to important health standards can be confusing to understand, which is why we wanted to tackle the question of how exactly we can know if our water is safe to drink and what to do about if it isn’t.
Joining me is Cydian Kauffman, the founder of Pure Water Northwest. He helps homeowners, families, and communities take control of their water quality using science-backed, practical solutions.
With years of hands-on experience in water treatment and a passion for public education, Cydian has guided clients across the Pacific Northwest through challenges like industrial runoff, high iron levels, bacterial contamination, arsenic, iron bacteria, and even mysterious health issues tied to hidden toxins in household water.
