OprenEnergy founder and CEO Michael Polsky joins the mornings of Maria ‘to announce an investment of $ 1.7 billion in a new energy bransmission line, aimed at strengthening the electricity infrastructure of America.
While a record-breaking heat wave wiped this week through parts of the US, Americans raised their consumption of regular water, including tap and bottle varieties, to stimulate hydration and prevent heat-related diseases.
In the midst of unbearable temperatures and seasonal changes, children and adults must increase their water intake, but are advised to prevent unfiltered tap and bottle water As much as possible, according to an expert in the field of water technology and sustainability.

Raz, formerly of Fortune 500 companies and global pharmaceutical leaders Johnson & Johnson and Eli Lilly, are co-founder of Flowater 12 years ago to restore the drinking of America water.
The water infrastructure of America is under -financed and outdated. In 2023, the EPA found that the Water infrastructure of the US needs $ 625 billion for a period of 20 years to tackle the problems, according to the infrastructure report card.
“From the government side, whether it is federal or municipal, nobody can solve our infrastructure issues in one or two conditions,” said Raz. “So it’s a hot potato. Nobody wants to talk about this and strengthen what the problem is.”
“Many companies benefit from a really broken water infrastructure.”

“I was personally passionate about this and looked at my daughters at a young age, what I would say is programmed in the same way as I was programmed by getting really fixed on sugary, caffeinated drinks,” said Raz.
“This is a real problem because it creates lifelong behavior, addictions and dependencies that ultimately lead to cataclysmic choices downstream.”
Raz said that choosing between unfiltered tap water and drinking water is in bottles like comparing cigarettes.

“Seventy to eighty thousand chemicals have been submitted to the toxicological division of the EPA in recent decades,” said Raz. “Er zijn naar schatting 50.000 chemicaliën die tegenwoordig in de Verenigde Staten worden gebruikt. Die chemicaliën worden gebruikt voor dingen zoals farmaceutische productie, textielproductie, landbouwgebruik, en uiteindelijk minder dan 100 van die ongeveer 50.000 chemicaliën die in de Verenigde Staten worden gebruikt, worden tegenwoordig gereguleerd door de Safe Drinking Water Act van 1974, die nauwelijks is bijgewerkt, die zwaar is bijgewerkt, die zwaar is bijgewerkt, die zwaar is bijgewerkt, that has hardly been updated. “
“We literally drink a chemical cocktail,” said Raz.
In summary, the SDWA was established to protect the water quality against common contaminants and later changed and re -authorized in 1986 and 1996, according to the EPA website.

“It is our job to really stop that cycle,” he said about Flowater.
Flowater, a purified drinking water system, is used to improve both the taste and the effects of drinking water. Raz founded the brand to fall in love with adults and children again.
“The way we do that is by taking the water that deliver municipal systems, what they can do best they can do, given the decades of infection that happened in our drinking water,” said Raz. “Then we add a purification device that radically changes tap water. It reduces bad things and puts good things in it, delivers what people say is the best -tasting water in the world.”
While Raz offices, gyms, school districts and encourages other public places To offer people flowers systems that cost approximately $ 5 per month, it is not specifically about which system is used, as long as they are offered to consumers.

The Flowater website offers one water analysis Feature for all zip codes in the US to determine exactly what is in their tap water.
“More than 200 million Americans are estimated on drinking water from the tap with PFAS in it,” said Raz.
PFAS, or per and polyfluoralkyl fabrics, are widely used, long-term chemicals, of which components break very slowly over time. According to the EPA website, thousands of them have been found in commercial, consumer and industrial products.
“More than 56% of Americans have drunk tap water with lead in it,” said Raz.
He added that microplastics that are found in bottled water become nanoplastics because they are not broken off biologically and individuals consume about one credit card plastic every week.

For homeowners who do not have access to Flowater, Raz recommends a system with a triple filter and reverse osmosis, a membrane that is insensitive to contaminants and removes it to .0001 Micron, according to Raz.
Homeowners must have a system with a mineral filter with calcium, potassium, magnesium and sodium for the countertop or under the sink.
Systems for the house can cost everywhere from a few hundred dollars to $ 2,000.
