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.

Industrial operations today, whether in oil & gas, chemical processing, water treatment, power generation, or agriculture, require far more than standard piping assemblies. When fluid distribution, pressure control, and system efficiency are critical, generic components simply cannot deliver the performance or reliability needed.

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

Industrial water filtration systems are at the heart of manufacturing, production, and wastewater treatment. Whether you’re filtering process water, cooling tower water, or wastewater effluent, efficiency comes down to how well you manage your equipment and filtration media.

New Hampshire’s lakes are more than sparkling scenery. They’re where you swim on hot July weekends, paddle at sunrise, fish with your kids, host cookouts, snap photos, and reset your brains. They’re also ecosystems, and their health is starting to wobble.

When most people picture chili production, they think sunny fields, red pods, and maybe a little sweat from the heat. But the real star of the chili industry isn’t a plant, a farmer, or even fertilizer. It’s water. Clean, filtered, properly managed water.

A new study suggests that the stuff used to disinfect tap water, chlorine vs. monochloramine, might be linked to how often people get Legionnaires’ disease. And honestly? The difference is kind of surprising.

Ask any brewer what matters most, and you’ll hear a familiar list: malt, hops, yeast, yeast nutrients, fermentation temps… But the one thing that quietly influences every single pint is the thing we talk about the least: water.

There’s a moment every vineyard owner knows well: walking the rows at sunrise, feeling the cool stillness before the day begins, and knowing that every leaf, tendril, and cluster is completely dependent on something we almost never talk about…Water.

Guests notice more than the décor when they walk into a hotel. They notice the scent of the lobby, the softness of the towels, and, whether we like to admit it or not, the quality of the water.

California might be famous for beaches and tech bros, but it’s agriculture that quietly dominates the scene. Nearly one-third of America’s vegetables and two-thirds of its fruits and nuts come from California soil.

Standard “off-the-shelf” or catalogued filters can work for routine tasks, but when feed water chemistry, flow rates, discharge limits, footprint, safety codes or integration with existing process equipment matter, a custom or specialty-engineered system is the better (often cheaper long-term) choice.

When it comes to serious water treatment projects, industrial, municipal, remediation, or large-scale commercial, carbon vessels are the backbone of filtration. If you need equipment that can support high flow rates, long service cycles, and aggressive operating conditions, the conversation starts with industrial carbon media vessels.

If you run a hotel, hospital, apartment complex, manufacturing facility, pharmaceutical plant, or any large-scale commercial property, you probably know how critical clean, reliable water is. Whether you’re dealing with water for drinking, process use, boilers, cooling towers, or general facility plumbing, the right multi-media filter (MMF) can make all the difference.

Industrial water treatment is changing fast. Today’s plants face variable influent loads, tighter regulations, and unexpected contamination events more frequently than ever before. In this evolving landscape, mobile carbon media vessels have become one of the most important tools for flexible, fast, and compliant treatment.

Wastewater treatment used to be one of those behind-the-scenes systems we rarely talked about, the kind of infrastructure that quietly did its job in the background. But that’s changing fast.

When it comes to improving water quality, many people assume that commercial water filtration systems are simply larger versions of whole-house water filtration setups. While both types of systems purify water, they serve very different purposes, operate on different scales, and are engineered for completely different demands.

Water treatment has become a central focus in modern construction, driven by stricter regulations, rising sustainability expectations, and the need for responsible site management. Construction activities generate various types of contaminated water, from runoff to wash water, making effective water treatment critical for environmental protection and regulatory compliance.

If you grow avocados, you already know one truth: good irrigation water is everything. It’s the difference between a healthy, productive grove and a stressed-out orchard that drops fruit the second a Santa Ana wind rolls through.

Thanksgiving hits different when you pause long enough to notice the everyday miracles around you. At the very top of our gratitude list this season? Clean water; the ability to help bring it to communities around the world.
