We are the oldest continuously owned water treatment company in Arizona (we have lived in the same building for 56 years and ‘had the same phone number’; we feel we have some of the finest technicians in the world who care and perform great water treatment service). The owners of this business love people and love our industry. We are developing Arizona water treatment products and technologies that are affordable, convenient, and good for AZ and provide you delicious water from every faucet of your home (no water waste and no salt; no electricity).
Here is an article about our history:
We are committed to coming up with affordable water treatment solutions that are fast, convenient, and reliable.
The valley’s population is now 6 million people; in 15 years it will double. Our future methods will be similar to the in-and-out burger approach (help a lot of people – provide affordable safe and healthy water treatment techniques and processes and provide a delicious result out of every faucet in your home).
1/3 of our water comes from the Colorado River (715 miles away). This is the water that flows through the Grand Canyon (this water is green and it is hard).
I recently visited Lake Havasu and made this video on the London Bridge.
Orange blossom special leather britches . I dedicate this to my hero Micheal Cleveland – YouTube
There are several reasons I am sharing this video with you:
To show you the path of 1/3 of our water ‘our water goes on a long journey before it arrives at your home’.
To show you where we spend the other part of our time (sharing our music and trying to find others who want to learn to play musical instruments and people who want to learn to sing). If we find someone who wants to learn to play: we provide the musical instrument at no charge and sponsor a couple of lessons (if we are fortunate to find a person who wants to learn to sing: we start by saying this: if Willie Nelson can ‘so can you’). We are developing a musical movement that we hope will be worldwide to provide a weekly social experience for others to gather and share music together.
These are a couple of pictures from last night’s Fast Track Musical gathering in East Mesa AZ (060723 7 PM).
I am also sharing this information with you to honor our founders (Brian and Roberta Boyett – my founder parents). They taught us, kids, to stand out from the crowd using the talents we have spent much treasure and time developing and aggrandizing.
It is true that our music will now become a bigger part of promoting our products and our company. It is all I have as a person and I will seek to share this with you as the owner of our company.
2/3 of our water is surface water (this water falls far away from our homes and runs down rivers, creeks, lakes, streams, ditches, canals, washes, and ravines). The water falls as a pure molecule and seeks to attract other ions – these ions are cement ‘calcium, and magnesium’; lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and chromium 6 (most of these ions bioaccumulate in our bodies and are considered toxic).
82 % of our usable water is recycled waste. In sewage and waste water we have E.Coli, coliform, and pathogens.
Within a short period of time, we will be releasing a whole-house disinfection filter that will disintegrate any E. Coli, coliform, or pathogen molecules.
This we will call it:
Whole house clarify filter (this will disintegrate any E.Coli, coliform, or pathogen molecules).
Most of the Phoenix metro cities and East Valley cities are adding the harmful element fluoride into your drinking water. Fluoride bioaccumulates in our bodies and is considered a poison in most venues. As I understand a city in our Phoenix metro area takes the fluoride waste product ‘from a nearby company’ – drives it to a local water treatment plant and dumps it into our water.
There is now the pfas chemical (forever chemical) in all our water everywhere. This is bad for our thyroids and kidneys.
Our small family water business has developed affordable, convenient, and effective processes to solve all these water pollution problems.

Reducing PFAS in Drinking Water with Treatment Technologies
Per- and Polyfluorinated substances (PFAS) are a group of man-made chemicals that persist in the environment. These chemicals have been used for decades in consumer products to make them non-stick and water resistant. They are also found in firefighting foams and are applied in many industrial processes. Unfortunately, the characteristics that make them useful are the reason they persist in the environment and can bioaccumulate, or build up, in our bodies and the bodies of animals.
PFAS also dissolve in water, and combined with their chemical properties mean traditional drinking water treatment technologies are not able to remove them. Therefore, EPA researchers have been studying a variety of technologies at bench-, pilot-, and full-scale levels to determine which methods work best to remove PFAS from drinking water.
Certain technologies have been found to remove PFAS from drinking water, especially Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), which are the most studied of these chemicals. Those technologies include activated carbon adsorption, ion exchange resins, and high-pressure membranes. These technologies can be used in drinking water treatment facilities, in water systems in hospitals or individual buildings, or even in homes at the point-of-entry, where water enters the home, or the point-of-use, such as in a kitchen sink or a shower.
Activated Carbon Treatment
Activated carbon treatment is the most studied treatment for PFAS removal. Activated carbon is commonly used to adsorb natural organic compounds, taste and odor compounds, and synthetic organic chemicals in drinking water treatment systems. Adsorption is both the physical and chemical process of accumulating a substance, such as PFAS, at the interface between liquid and solids phases. Activated carbon is an effective adsorbent because it is a highly porous material and provides a large surface area to which contaminants may adsorb. Activated carbon (GAC) is made from organic materials with high carbon contents such as wood, lignite, and coal; and is often used in granular form called granular activated carbon (GAC).
GAC has been shown to effectively remove PFAS from drinking water when it is used in a flow through filter mode after particulates have already been removed. EPA researcher Thomas Speth says, “GAC can be 100 percent effective for a period of time, depending on the type of carbon used, the depth of the bed of carbon, flow rate of the water, the specific PFAS you need to remove, temperature, and the degree and type of organic matter as well as other contaminants, or constituents, in the water.” If the granular activated carbon is not changed in a timely manner – your water will be contaminated.
For example, GAC works well on longer-chain PFAS like PFOA and PFOS, but shorter chain PFAS like Perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS) and Perfluorobutyrate (PFBA) do not adsorb as well.
Another type of activated carbon treatment is powdered activated carbon (PAC) which is the same material as GAC, but it is smaller in size, powder like. Because of the small particle size, PAC cannot be used in a flow through bed, but can be added directly to the water and then removed with the other natural particulates in the clarification stage (conventional water treatment or low-pressure membranes – microfiltration or ultrafiltration). Used in this way, PAC is not as efficient or economical as GAC at removing PFAS. Speth says, “Even at very high PAC doses with the very best carbon, it is unlikely to remove a high percentage PFAS; however, it can be used for modest percent removals. If used, however, there is an additional problem with what to do with the sludge that contains adsorbed PFAS.”
The pfas (forever chemical) is going to be a big problem in our country. We have pfas chemicals in our Arizona drinking water. Boyett’s family is at the vanguard to help come up with an effective solution. We are first to market with many important water treatment products because you tell us what you want, and we will continue to listen to your needs. We wish to continue to meet all your water treatment needs. Thank you for being unselfish with all your ideas for our improvement.
Here are two solutions for the pfas chemical. These two products will make sure no pfas (forever chemicals) enter your home:

How Much Can a Water Filter Do?
Lead, bacteria and PFAS are among the contaminants cropping up in drinking water.
Over the past few years, water safety crises have cropped up in several cities, including Baltimore, Flint, Mich., Jackson, Miss., and Newark, N.J., where lead or bacteria have leached into tap water, forcing people to rely on bottled water or on boiling their tap water to rid it of pathogens.
In Wilmington, N.C., high levels of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, chemicals commonly known as PFAS, were detected in the local watershed. PFAS have been linked to a host of health issues, including cancer, liver damage and problems with fertility. The Environmental Protection Agency proposed new regulations in March that would crack down on drinking water levels of six types of PFAS, substantially lowering the allowable detectable amounts. (Drinking water is not the only source of exposure to PFAS, which show up in food wrappers, cooking pans and waterproof clothing, among other places, but reducing contact wherever possible is advisable.)
These events raise questions about just how safe municipal water supplies in the United States are, and whether additional filtration steps are required even outside of areas experiencing an acute crisis. And if that’s the case, are there home water filters that will help?
Problems with the system
Water sanitation is often listed as one of the greatest health advancements of the 20th century, helping to significantly reduce the death rate from infectious diseases. Water safety standards were enshrined in the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974, which gives the E.P.A. authority to restrict the amounts of many metals, bacteria, pesticides and other harmful contaminants that can be detected in water. State agencies monitor water treatment plants to ensure they are adhering to the law, and if any violations emerge, they are required to notify consumers within 24 hours. (Owners of private wells are responsible for ensuring that their water is free of contaminants.)
Since the passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act, though, other water-monitoring issues have arisen. For example, most water treatment plants are not set up to remove more modern contaminants, such as PFAS, pharmaceutical drugs and endocrine disrupting chemicals, said Detlef Knappe, a professor of civil, construction and environmental engineering at North Carolina State University, who was one of the first to publish on the Wilmington PFAS problem.
Another concern is whether we are “setting standards at a pace that is reflective of what we know about the science of our water,” said David Cwiertny, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Iowa. He gave the example of nitrate, an agricultural pollutant that’s present in the water supply in Des Moines. While the local water treatment plant takes steps to remove the contaminant, there are questions about whether the allowable levels could still cause health harms.
Aging infrastructure is also a problem. In several of the recent crises, contamination occurred when lead leached into the water as it traveled through the distribution pipes. National regulations about the amount of lead permitted in pipes have been strengthened over the years, but many old water distribution systems have not been updated and contain unsafe levels.
“Often, things go wrong because of just underinvestment into this type of infrastructure,” Dr. Knappe said. “The rate at which we’re replacing the distribution system pipes in the network is not keeping up with the rate at which the system really needs to be maintained.”
Finally, experts say water treatment plants are not equipped for the extreme weather events that have become more common with climate change. That was part of the problem in Jackson, where flooding caused by heavy rains overpowered one of the city’s treatment plants, resulting in untreated, bacteria-laden water traveling to people’s homes.
The crises in Flint, Baltimore, Jackson and Newark are currently exceptional cases — public water supplies in the U.S. are generally safe, said Thanh Nguyen, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. But “the number of exceptions may increase with time if we don’t” update the infrastructure, she said.
What home filters can do
If there is a known crisis in your area, local officials will provide recommendations for how best to keep yourself safe. If you’re generally concerned about potential contaminants, at-home water filters can help with some issues.
Most filters contain activated carbon to capture contaminants, which can be used in pitchers, refrigerator dispensers, faucet attachments or systems installed under the sink. Activated carbon is good at removing many chemicals and metals but not all (it doesn’t capture nitrate, for example), and it cannot filter out most bacteria.
The American National Standards Institute and NSF — two independent groups that evaluate product performance — have established standards for water filters. Companies aren’t required to make products that meet NSF/ANSI standards, but because “there is no federally regulated requirement,” certification can help to “ensure that the product isn’t a counterfeit or it’s actually effective,” said Kyle Postmus, senior manager of the Global Water Division at NSF.
NSF/ANSI Standard 42 is for aesthetics, such as taste, smell and appearance (people often want to filter out traces of the disinfectant chlorine). Standard 53 focuses on safety, ensuring levels of lead or mercury, as well as some pesticides and industrial chemicals, are below the accepted limit. The certifications are for individual contaminants, and the product should specify all the contaminants it is approved to reduce.
Home filters appear to work decently well for PFAS and can now be NSF/ANSI Standard 53 certified for some of those chemicals, too. In a study published in 2020, Dr. Knappe and his co-authors found that, on average, pitcher and refrigerator filters that use activated carbon reduced PFAS levels by about 50 percent. More advanced filtration systems that use a process known as reverse osmosis were over 90 percent effective, but they are much more expensive and waste a significant amount of water.
Sometimes filters can cause more harm than good. Dr. Nguyen’s research revealed that if water sits in a faucet or under-sink filter for a long period of time, such as overnight, it can actually pick up more contaminants, including lead and bacteria. That’s because the water is essentially bathing in high concentrations of the contaminants that were trapped by the activated carbon. When the faucet is turned on again, the contaminant-infused water comes rushing out. As a result, Dr. Nguyen said that it is important to flush your water filter for at least 10 seconds before drinking from it. Also, be sure to change your filter regularly.
Most of the experts interviewed for this article said that they used an at-home filter, but none said it was essential. Some used filters for taste issues, while others said it was a precautionary measure. “Not everybody needs them, but I can think of a lot of reasons why people might,” Dr. Cwiertny said. “What I would encourage is that people make informed decisions and know why they’re purchasing a device” — for example, for a specific taste concern or for filtering out a known contaminant.
If you’re worried about the quality of your water and want to know whether you should invest in a filter, you can use a home test kit. You can also request a Consumer Confidence Report from the E.P.A. that will detail what’s in the water when it leaves your local treatment plant, although the report does not account for what the water might encounter as it travels through the distribution pipe network.
The experts cautioned that if your region has a known issue with lead or another contaminant, a filter is a bandage on a wound that needs surgery — the larger problem with the pipes or water supply still must be addressed.

Ohio public health officials raise concern about brain-eating amoeba in northern states.

Deadly “brain-eating” amoeba infections usually strike people in southern U.S. states, but thanks to climate change, the brain-invading organism has expanded its range northward. In light of this trend, the Ohio Public Health Association recently published a case report to raise awareness of the disease among health care providers in the state.
“Increased incidence of N. fowleri [a species of brain-eating amoeba] in northern climates is but one of many ways climate change threatens human health and merits novel education of health care providers,” the case report authors wrote in a paper published May 16 in the Ohio Journal of Public Health.
Naegleria fowleri is a single-cell organism that typically lives in soil and warm fresh water, as well as the occasional water tank, heater or pipe, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In rare instances, the amoeba can infiltrate the human brain and spinal cord by first entering a person’s nose — but it cannot reach the brain if swallowed in a gulp of water, for instance, and it doesn’t spread between people. N. fowleri causes an infection called primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), which is nearly always fatal.
PAM is rare — since 1962, about zero to eight cases have been reported nationwide each year, the case report noted. Most of these infections have been linked to swimming in the South, particularly in Florida and Texas, but since 2010, cases have started to occur in more northern states, including the Midwestern states Minnesota, Kansas and Indiana.
PLAY SOUND
“Ohio public health professionals should take note of the incidence of N fowleri infections in northern states including Indiana, Iowa, and Minnesota, as well as common vacation destinations for Ohioans where N fowleri infection has been reported, such as Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida,” the new case report noted.
The report describes a case in which a woman in her mid-30s was brought, unconscious, to a hospital in an unspecified Midwestern state after experiencing severe headache, light sensitivity, nausea and confusion. She was initially flagged as having a suspected case of bacterial meningitis, or brain inflammation caused by bacteria.
During an interview with the woman’s spouse, however, a public health nurse learned that the patient and her family had gone to a freshwater lake beach four days prior and she’d submerged her head beneath the water. (PAM symptoms typically arise one to 12 days after N. fowleri enters the nose.)
Samples of the patient’s cerebrospinal fluid — the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord — came back negative for bacteria, so the team suspected a virus might be behind the infection. But as the patient continued to rapidly worsen, her nurse contacted the Bureau of Infectious Diseases at the state department of health about other potential causes; the state department then contacted the CDC. Given the patient’s recent lake outing, the CDC suggested the culprit might be N. fowleri.
After relaying this to the patient’s medical team, the CDC provided information about miltefosine, a drug that has killed N. fowleri in the lab and slain other species of brain-eating amoeba in people.
“The patient responded favorably to the medication. Two weeks after symptom onset, she recovered with minimal neurological damage and was able to resume a high quality of life with her family,” the report says.
PAM is treated with a handful of drugs in addition to miltefosine, which are all thought to kill N. fowleri and were previously used in survivors of the infection, according to the CDC. Speedy diagnosis is key to getting patients started on these treatments in time to potentially make a difference.
Health providers in northern states should probe whether patients with meningitis symptoms have recently swum in warm fresh water, and they should contact the CDC at (800) 232-4636 if PAM is suspected, the report noted.
“Combined with increased incidence in northern climates, untrained and unaware public health professionals and health care providers may exacerbate prolonged diagnostic periods and delay time-sensitive treatment in what is ultimately a quick decline for PAM patients,” the report states.

We have a problem with recycling plants producing millions of pounds of microplastics, even with filtering
New research suggests that one of the most pervasive drinking water contaminants — microplastic — can come in startling numbers from a decidedly environmental practice.
Here is the solution to this serious problem
Reverse Osmosis Filter
A Reverse Osmosis Filter has a pore size of approximately 0.0001 micron so it’s, by far, best way to remove microplastics (or anything else) from your drinking water due to its ability to completely separate solids from water.
Boyett’s family water treatment would like to be part of the solution to this very serious problem.
https://azh2o.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/clarify-ro-brochure-092122.pdf
Out of all the plastic that has even been produced globally, less than 10 percent has been recycled. One of the biggest environmental dilemmas with this is that plastic does not decompose, it only breaks down into smaller pieces that can contaminate soil and water. Small plastic particles between one micrometer and five millimeters in length are called microplastics; those smaller than one micrometer are called nanoplastics.
So far, microplastics have been found in water sources like lake water, groundwater, and tap water, and they likely contain the even tinier nanoplastics too. In fact, studies have identified nanoplastics in tap water in China, lake water in Switzerland, and even ice samples in the Northern and Southern polar regions. However, the full extent of tiny plastic contamination of drinking water sources has yet to be known because it is challenging to detect them, which can make it more difficult to address the problem.

However, the full extent of tiny plastic contamination of drinking water sources has yet to be known because it is challenging to detect them, which can make it more difficult to address the problem.
The potential health impact of small plastic particles
Microplastics were recently found in human blood and living lung tissues for the first time, but their effects on human health are not yet fully understood. Ingested microplastic particles may cause an imbalance in the human gut microbiome, which can play a role in the development of gastrointestinal disorders like irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. However, a direct link has yet to be established.
Regardless of any risk considerations, releasing enormous amounts of non-biodegradable, synthetic material into the environment—which results in micro- and nano-plastic particles—is not wise, says Ralf Kägi, head of the Particle Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology.
“Nano-plastic particles may have unwanted effects on ecosystems and human health,” he adds. “The smaller the particles, the higher the likelihood that they can be taken up by any organism and distributed, for example, in the gastrointestinal tract.”
The number of nanoplastics in water sources is expected to increase in the future as plastics continue to degrade, therefore drinking water treatment processes must be equipped to remove them.
Various filtration processes may help provide drinkable water without plastics
Some studies show that drinking water treatment plants can filter nanoplastics well enough. According to a study published in Science of The Total Environment, a conventional drinking water treatment plant that uses sand and granular activated carbon (GAC) filters—the kind of filter that many water pitcher filters use—can remove nanoplastics by about 88.1 percent. The removal efficiency can increase to 99.4 percent if a coagulation process is also used.
Meanwhile, a different study published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials found that a treatment process called slow sand filtration is just as effective at retaining nanoplastic particles from water sources, if not more. In this method, water is treated using a thick, biologically active layer called schmutzdecke that lies on top of quartz sand. The untreated water passes through the biological layer first, and then the layers of sand below it.
The biologically active layer—which consists of organisms like algae, bacteria, and protozoans—is especially effective at retaining the vast majority of particulate materials, including micro- and nano-plastic particles, says Kägi, who is one of the authors of the study.
Pilot-scale filtration experiments were conducted at the Zurich Water Works to compare different water treatment processes and simulate the removal of nanoplastics in a full-scale drinking water treatment plant.
In the pilot-scale slow sand filtration unit, about 70 percent of the nanoplastics were retained in the first 0.1 meters of the sand bed, and the retention reached 99.5 percent at 0.9 meters. Other processes were not as effective. For instance, ozonation or the infusion of ozone into water does not affect the retention of nanoplastics during water treatment. Meanwhile, activated carbon filtration retained only 10 percent in the first 0.9 meters of the filter.
As exciting as this news is, slow sand filtration is actually a pretty old technology. It was used in the United States for the first time back in 1875. Although it gradually fell out of favor in the late 1800s due to its slow flow rate and inadequacy to treat turbid source waters, it was still a promising filtration method for rural communities.
Slow sand filters are also being phased out in newly constructed water plants due to their extensive space requirements. These are then replaced by ultrafiltration, a kind of membrane filtration system, which uses synthetic polymer membranes to physically separate or strain substances from water, like sand or algae. They are generally more expensive, but the efficiency is comparable to slow sand filters and they don’t take up as much space, says Kägi.
There is very limited research on the matter, but the removal of micro- and nano-plastic particles using membrane-based filtration technologies appears to be more effective compared to other techniques. A 2021 study published in Water Science & Technology found that the membrane filtration method displayed a 100 percent efficiency in removing microplastics from wastewaters, as demonstrated in both laboratory- and real-scale filtration results.
“Membrane filtration systems are expected to even outperform slow sand filtration systems regarding the retention of micro- and nano-plastic particles,” says Kägi. Although it’s very promising that some water treatment processes can be effective at removing plastic particles from contaminated water sources, the root of the problem must still be addressed. Minimizing plastic use as much as possible remains paramount in providing plastic-free, potable water.
