If you have ever listened to my show, you know I am totally dependent on your suggestions on what I should be talking about. Today’s show is straight from the “Scaling UP! Mailbag! You ask for it, so here it is… Phosphate… Is this thing on?
Yes, I said Phosphate. Believe it or not, questions around phosphate top my list of the most asked questions from the Scaling UP! Nation! So, who am I to argue.
I have also taken this opportunity to play “Mythbuster” Scaling UP! Style. A few months ago, several blogs and listservs started talking about using a particular device for digestion in phosphate testing. The device is called the SteriPen and it was developed for outdoor lovers to sterilize their drinking water. Many have found that it could be used as the ultra violet source in the phosphate digestion process. The post alluded that the SteriPens would not work for this purpose. Join me as I take the Nation! though how I explored these questions myself.
Not only will you hear how I take my own advice of, “Trust but verify” when you get water treatment opinions, I interview people that have been using the SteriPen and who developed the SteriPen.
