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!

In 1945 fluoride was first used. 1962 the USPHS (United States Public Health Service)) said that the 0.7-1.2mg/L ideal but this was adjusted in 2015 to 0.7. Currently the
EPA's (enforceable) MCL is 4.0 mainly for Skeletal Fluorosis risks but their
SMCL is 2.0 for dental fluorosis which is usually permanent cosmetic tooth damage.
76 out of 85 human studies showed decreased IQ from elevated exposure.
Many municipalities have stopped flouridation altogether as increasing debate over risks and benefit continue. Bottled water is not the answer! Listen to this one yourself for more info....
