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!

Ep 41 What is the deal with Mercury, and rare trivia facts
In this episode we were curious about the mercury levels in fish and how this happened. What we discovered was bizarre, namely because mercury is a metal and in its elemental form it is heavier than lead yet it quickly evaporates into the air. This puts some perspective on those fluorescent bulbs that few of us actually bag before tossing out. It has had many uses throughout time with thermometers and barometers being some of the more common ones.
It actually changes into other forms and not all of those transformations are fully understood.
Learn why “traditional “ gold refining (amalgamation) methods contaminate our environment with about 650-1000 tons of mercury every year.
