Helen Christoni: The Hidden Dangers in Your Tap Water & How to Combat Them
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.Water Filtration Methods 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.Importance of Changing Filters 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.AquaTru’s Mission and Products Helen Christoni highlighted that AquaTru is the first patented countertop RO system designed specifically for families.

Success in their affiliate programs comes from having a small group of dedicated partners who share the company's mission and create genuine content.Addressing Water Contaminants 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.Personal Health Stories and Motivation Helen’s journey from the beauty industry to wellness was fueled by a personal health crisis—severe osteoporosis due to early menopause.
