California’s construction, infrastructure, and environmental projects face a unique and growing challenge: groundwater management. From large-scale infrastructure builds to urban developments and remediation projects, dewatering, the process of removing groundwater to enable construction or excavation, is a routine necessity.

Thinking about investing in a stainless steel sand media filter or industrial media filter? Congrats, you’re about to make a smart move for your water treatment system. But here’s the thing: just because it’s stainless steel doesn’t mean it’s invincible. Yup, even the fanciest steel can get eaten away if your water is playing dirty.

As 2026 begins, individuals, organizations, and industries are redefining what sustainability truly means. One of the most impactful commitments to make this year is a Clean Water Pledge, a pledge that goes beyond drinking water to protect all forms of clean water, including stormwater, wastewater, groundwater, irrigation systems, industrial water, and natural waterways.

In hospitality, the little things make a big difference. Guests may not always think about water quality, but they experience it constantly. From the taste of drinking water to the comfort of a shower or the quality of a meal, water touches nearly every part of a hotel, resort, or restaurant.

Water is one of the most essential inputs in food and beverage manufacturing. It is used as a core ingredient, a cleaning medium, and a support utility for heating, cooling, and processing operations.

California’s economy, environment, and public health depend on one critical system: water infrastructure. From aging pipelines and dams to treatment plants and flood control systems, California’s water-related infrastructure is under increasing strain.

Water quality directly impacts agricultural productivity, crop health, and soil sustainability. As farming operations increasingly depend on irrigation systems, contaminants such as pesticides, herbicides, chlorine, and organic pollutants in water sources pose serious challenges.

As 2025 comes to a close, I want to pause and extend my sincere appreciation to the people who make Everfilt® what it is, our employees, customers, dealers, and partners. This past year has been one of progress, learning, and meaningful achievement, and none of it would be possible without you.

When you think about hot cocoa, you probably picture rich chocolate, creamy milk, maybe a swirl of whipped cream on top, and your mom lovingly pouring you a cup. But there’s one ingredient in every cozy mug that rarely gets the spotlight: clean water.

The Christmas season gets a lot of attention for the big moments. Decorations go up, calendars fill fast, and kitchens suddenly become the most important room in the house. In the middle of all that activity, clean water is doing a lot of heavy lifting without ever being part of the conversation.

Modern hotel development extends far beyond attractive design and upscale amenities. Today’s guests expect environments that are not only comfortable and luxurious, but also safe, hygienic, and reliable.

Mining has a long history of leaving behind environmental messes, and acid mine drainage (AMD) is one of the worst offenders. We’re talking highly acidic water loaded with toxic metals that can poison rivers, wipe out ecosystems, and make nearby drinking water unsafe for decades.

Reverse osmosis (RO) systems get a lot of credit when it comes to clean water, and sure, they're effective. But behind every high-performing RO system is a solid pre-treatment setup doing the heavy lifting. Enter: multi-media filters.

California’s water treatment industry is undergoing a period of sustained and accelerated growth. Long-term water scarcity, increasingly stringent water-quality regulations, aging infrastructure, and major public investment have converged to make water treatment a central priority across the state.

If you live in San Diego County, especially anywhere near Imperial Beach, you’ve probably heard the same story for years: raw sewage from Tijuana keeps flowing north, beaches keep closing, and nobody seems able to fix it.

In the salsa and sauces industry, water does way more than just keep things flowing. It touches almost every step of production, from washing fresh tomatoes and peppers to cooking, cooling, and keeping equipment clean. If your water quality is off, it can mess with food safety, flavor consistency, production efficiency, and compliance.

In nursery, greenhouse, and agricultural irrigation operations, water quality is everything. Sand media filters and other irrigation filtration systems play a crucial role in protecting emitters, drip lines, valves, and overall system performance.

If you work in the seafood industry, you already know water isn’t just part of the process; it is the process. From aquaculture tanks to processing lines, rinsing, chilling, and packaging, water touches every single product before it reaches consumers.

Historically, the U.S. lacked reliable nationwide data on PFAS in drinking water. That changed with the EPA’s latest monitoring efforts under the Fifth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR-5), which expands testing for dozens of PFAS across thousands of public water systems.

Routine media replacement is essential for maintaining filtration efficiency, protecting downstream equipment, and ensuring long-term performance of your Everfilt® sand media filter.
