Reverse osmosis

Those are all like the basics.

Water, RO is kind of standard and probably the most common thing people do, but that depletes minerals.

So if you're doing an RO system in your house and that's your drinking water, you need to add minerals back to your water or take minerals because you're drinking a very acidic product that's depleted minerals.

But right now, none of us should be drinking tap water.

If you look at tap, I think it's tapscore.com. You can look at your zip code and find out what things are in your drinking water.

I've talked about distilled water being one way to start with a blank slate.

Is there an RO system that is... let's say middle of the road that they, you know, for like the average home brewer should consider purchasing to hop on with their, I guess.

I don't, I don't

know specifically like, you know, it's, it's, it's interesting because we get calls from people and they're, and they're using anything from Amazon RO to, you know, they went out and got a $5,000 RO system or a $10,000 RO system specifically for brewing and, It, it, it just, it depends on the quality that you want.

And it also like the big thing with ROs is making sure that you're changing your filters when it's appropriate.

Gotcha.

If you have absolutely terrible city water and you know, you have absolutely terrible city water and you're running it through an RO well, then you need to be checking that your RO is doing what it says it's doing.

Okay.

So what I'm telling folks is this, I've been in the water business for 22 years.

I started building RO systems and our level of quality, And our level of commitment is at that level.

When we ship product, we build books around it because they won't accept it without a book.

And we do the same for our own.

Yeah, so when we, you know, if you think about produced water, you know, the hardest thing to remove from water is salt.

And when you think about an RO, an RO works great when you're, Let's say brackish water, and we'll talk in TDS, total dissolved solids.

If you're talking brackish water that's a couple thousand parts, RO works great.

RO works great until you get up to about 30,000 parts.

And so think about the ocean.

Think about the desal plants on the West Coast, in the Middle East, the one they're talking about in Corpus.

That ice forms, and that ice is clean water.

What happens is the rest of those analytes stay concentrated in that brine that doesn't freeze.

But if they do, that's definitely something that could be done.

You could also call someone like Matt, who was on the podcast several episodes ago, for reverse osmosis filtration.

You could get a lot of these nitrogen compounds out that way, specifically if they've been oxidized down to nitrates, because there's really no other way to get nitrates out other than physically draining and replacing water, except RO.

So you could do that.

But to verify, just see if you're getting your combined chlorine down.

PCM and SF, we expect to have before the end of the year.

And for Evolution RO, right around December 31st.

So we are very excited.

I know, Leonid, you're excited because you've got quite a number of companies you've been talking to that are waiting for us to have that EC1935 declaration before proceeding with a production trial.

we hope that we will get first results soon, in a couple of weeks.

And that's kind of exciting because the installations that you're talking about, the first one is Evolution PCM membrane.

The UK is an RO, Evolution RO.

And the third one is Evolution SF.
