For the past 15 years, Tony Pennington has specialized in water treatment, distribution and conservation on many levels. This cumulative experience taught him everything from retrieving testing water samples to maintaining dams and their flow parameters during even the harshest of droughts. As General Manager and Vice President at Ophora Water, he gained much more water knowledge. Nick DeValk, a Minnesota native, has been with Ophora since 2017 and brings his interpersonal skills and worldly knowledge to the forefront.  Always up for a challenge and hungry for knowledge, Nick brings his past life experiences to the water industry to help educate and promote a healthy clean lifestyle through Earth's most precious resource.

I'm thrilled to have Nick DeValk and Tony Pennington join the show today. Both gentlemen head up Ophora Water, an innovative company making some of the purest, most mineral-rich and oxygen-infused bottled water and filtration systems on the planet.

Nick and Tony are true water geeks, passionate about creating an optimal hydration experience. With decades of combined expertise in water treatment methods like reverse osmosis and remineralization, these guys know their H20.

In this conversation, Nick and Tony break down the science behind high-quality water filtration and improving its structure for better absorption in the body. We also discuss adding functional oxygen, the importance of pH levels, and eliminating chlorine from pools and spas for a non-toxic soak. We also talk about water's unique properties as an information carrier as well as its sacredness. 

Their innovative filtration systems and water bottles integrate nature's divine patterns to produce the closest thing to an alpine spring flowing into your glass. You can visit ophorawater.com/luke to get 10% off water bottles or a special offer on any filtration system. And wait until you hear about their hot tub filled with hyper-oxygenated water. I can't wait to get my hands on one!

Conscientious water sourcing and stewardship is so needed today, Nick and Tony's passion comes through in the way they describe water's vital role for all organisms – a passion that, if you listen to this show regularly, you know I share.
