Our guest is Dr. Kelly Reynolds from the University of Arizona with an update about the Household Point of Use Pathogen study funded by the Water Quality Research Foundation, WQRF.
In this episode, Dr. Reynolds summarizes and then answers questions about her POU Pathogen study during a recent “In the Know” WQRF webinar. The results of the study indicated that household water treatment filters can be used for large volume monitoring of drinking water quality at the point-of-use, but that retention of introduced pathogens on the tested filter is low and may still underestimate risk.

Our guest is WQA International Operations Manager Sam De Laender. We caught up with Sam at the Aquatech Amsterdam show. We talked about his background in water, his role with WQA in Europe, his take on regulations and his work with other international trade associations.
"Point-of-Use (water filtration) is not very popular in Europe," De Laender told us. "I expect that may change over the years, specifically because of the carbon footprint aspect of bottled water. If households do anything they would probably install a Point-of-Entry softener." Plus, we’ll have our WQA Tip. The WQA Convention is April 1-3, 2020, in Orlando.

Our guest on the latest WQA Radio podcast is D.J. Shannahan, Vice President of the Water Quality Association. D.J. joins us to talk about the value of WQA and, specifically, the WQA Convention & Exposition, when it comes to running a successful water treatment business.
"All I know is, as long as I stay active in the WQA, as long as I come to Convention and go to the educational sessions and learn to be a better dealer, then I'll be better prepared," said Shannahan. "And, if my competition chooses not to do that, well all the better for me." The Convention is April 1-3, 2020, in Orlando. Plus, we’ll have our WQA Tip.

Our guest is Kristin Licko, WQA’s Toxicology Manager. In this episode you’ll hear from Kristin about the changes to lead evaluation for product certification, one dealing with material safety and one coming down the road dealing with performance criteria.
"In year's past, a product may have passed at, say, 8 ppb, as the amount of lead that came out of it when it went through the rigorous testing to the standard," said Licko. "Those clients would like to look at their products and figure out how to reduce the amount of lead that comes out of them before their next certification cyle."
If you manufacture a product that contains lead or reduces lead in drinking water, this is definitely for you. If you have any questions about product certification, reach out to goldseal@wqa.org.

Our guest is Mike Heatwole, Sales Manager at May Supply Co. in Harrisonburg, Va., talking with us bout a creative local charity the company started called Waters of Hope.
Mike describes how his staff brought together supplies, contractors and donations from the community to install water treatment systems in the homes of children with cancer. Children undergoing cancer treatment have compromised immune systems and need the extra insurance of a POU/POE system to stay at home with their families. Mike says that once the company started one project, it snow-balled, and the community really pitched in to help in a variety of unexpected ways. Susan Keaton caught up with Mike at the WQA Mid-Year Leadership Conference in San Antonio in September. Subscribe to WQA Radio on Google Play, iTunes and Stitcher.
