Our guest on WQA Radio this week is Pauli Undesser, Executive Director of the Water Quality Association. She talks about the impact of tariffs on water treatment products and how they're affecting WQA members and the public.
“The bottom line is that we don’t want a trade issue becoming a safety or a health issue,” said Undesser. “We need exemptions for water treatment technologies, period.” Pauli also discusses the latest on counterfeit products, what’s new at WQA and we'll look ahead to the Mid-Year Leadership Conference coming up Sept. 12-14 in Hilton Head, S.C.
