    7-Stage Purification That Beats Bottled Water
    Sep 21 2025
    What’s really in your tap water? This episode breaks down PFAS, lead, and microplastics and why tap water safety is a growing concern. Then FloWater CEO Rich “Raz” Razgaitis explains the science of 7-stage purification: RO at 0.0001 microns, advanced carbon, and remineralization for taste and hydration. If you’re evaluating a PFAS water filter for schools, an office water dispenser, or a gym refill station, here is a practical field guide, plus bottled water alternatives that reduce waste. (Also called bottle filling stations or water bottle refill stations.)This episode covers: • How contaminants get past aging infrastructure • Why RO alone isn’t the full story (remineralization matters) • Refill stations vs fountains: speed, hygiene, behavior change (~9s vs ~35s) • Practical steps for parents, PTAs, and facilities to launch a pilot fast⏩ Jump to your favorite parts: 00:00 - Welcome to Conscious Design Podcast 00:43 - Introducing Rich “Raz” Razgaitis and FloWater 01:16 - The Origin Story of FloWater 02:58 - The Problem with Tap Water 06:56 - FloWater’s Solution 11:24 - Advocating for Clean Drinking Water 24:35 - Future Plans for FloWater 30:28 - Conclusion and Contact InformationAbout Rich “Raz” Razgaitis and FloWaterRich “Raz” Razgaitis is the CEO and Co-Founder of FloWater, a Denver-based company focused on tap water safety and better hydration.
