What's In Your Water? The Truth About Filtration, Contaminants, & Healthy Hydration

In this episode, we connect with Nelson McIlveen to explore what clean water actually means in today's world — and whether most filtration systems are doing the job we think they are… As the founder and CEO of Sentry H2O, a family-owned water filtration company based in Arizona, Nelson has spent more than two decades working in manufacturing, engineering, and water treatment technology. His mission is simple: help families gain access to cleaner, safer water without removing the beneficial minerals the body needs. Is it possible to remove harmful contaminants while preserving the natural qualities that make water healthy? Nelson joins us to discuss the science behind water filtration, the challenges facing municipal water systems, and what consumers should know about the water they drink every day. This conversation unpacks: The hidden contaminants that are often present in tap water. What does and doesn't get removed by modern filtration systems. How technologies can target fluoride, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, PFAS, and nanoplastics. How American manufacturing is creating new opportunities in the water filtration industry. Nelson combines hands-on engineering expertise with a passion for helping people improve the quality of their water. Through Sentry H2O, he has developed whole-house and under-sink filtration solutions designed to address a growing range of modern contaminants while maintaining water's natural balance.
