Hustle & Flowchart
On today's episode of Hustle and Flowchart, I sat down with Helen Christoni, an expert in reverse osmosis (RO) water filtration and marketing. We delved deep into the dangers of tap water and the necessity of clean water and the effectiveness of RO systems. The episode covered important topics like how these systems work, why they are essential for health, especially for children, and the role of social media in spreading this crucial information. Our conversation also brought to light the entrepreneurial aspects of scaling a business rooted in wellness technology.
Helen explained the difference in taste and quality between regular single filters and advanced reverse osmosis (RO) systems. RO systems like AquaTru use a four-stage filtration process to remove harmful contaminants such as forever chemicals, drug residues, and antibiotics. While many commercial bottle filling stations only address chlorine and lead, AquaTru tackles a wide range of pollutants.
Changing filters regularly in fridges and pitchers is crucial to avoid contamination. Neglecting this can result in more harm than good. Helen emphasized that even the best filters lose effectiveness over time, and timely replacements are necessary for maintaining water quality.
Helen Christoni highlighted that AquaTru is the first patented countertop RO system designed specifically for families. The company just released AquaTru Pro for enterprise settings, equipped with certified bottle filling stations. These products aim to provide pure water, free of contaminants, for homes and businesses.
We also talked about the importance of water filtration for children, advocating for heightened awareness about environmental toxins. By incorporating high-quality water filtration systems at home, parents can significantly reduce their kids’ exposure to harmful chemicals.
Helen suggested checking local water contaminants using the Environmental Working Group (EWG) website. This resource allows people to see what's in their tap water, giving them informed reasons to invest in quality water purification systems.
Helen stresses the pivotal role of social media in making complex scientific information relatable. Platforms like TikTok allow for shareable, bite-sized content that people can easily engage with. Instead of long-form content like webinars, focused, engaging videos spread the message of water purification more effectively.
Strong partnerships and authentic connections are crucial for AquaTru’s business. Helen prefers genuine relationships over large-scale, impersonal campaigns. Success in their affiliate programs comes from having a small group of dedicated partners who share the company's mission and create genuine content.
Helen shared her personal “aha moment” when she discovered several cancer-causing contaminants in her local water. This led to broader discussions about the limitations of boiling water and the persistence of chemicals like Chromium 6 and fluoride. AquaTru's certified to remove 84 contaminants, including microplastics, offers a solution to these health hazards.
Helen’s journey from the beauty industry to wellness was fueled by a personal health crisis—severe osteoporosis due to early menopause. This experience reshaped her approach to health and wellness, emphasizing the importance of purifying water and air as key aspects of a healthier lifestyle.
Overall, today’s episode underscored the critical nature of clean water. Helen Christoni's insights on reverse osmosis systems, specifically AquaTru, provided valuable information on how to ensure our families have access to safe drinking water. The collaboration between social media strategies, authentic partnerships, and a strong commitment to science makes AquaTru’s mission to deliver pure water and clean air possible.
