Ep. 250 Inside Boroux: Building a Better Way to Filter Your Water
In this conversation with the founder of Boroux, we dig into why clean water is foundational for health, what most people overlook about filtration, and how the materials inside your filter can make or break its effectiveness.
Why Filtering Your Water Matters Municipal systems only address basic safety, not long-term exposure. Trace chemicals, microplastics, heavy metals, chlorine byproducts, pesticides, and pharmaceutical residues slip through. Your body deals with these daily, and reducing that load makes a real difference in energy, inflammation, and overall resilience.
Not all filters are created with safe, stable components. Cheap plastics can leach into the water you’re trying to clean, and low-grade metals or resins can introduce new contaminants. Boroux uses high-integrity materials designed to stay inert, durable, and non-reactive—meaning the water stays as clean as the filter promises.
How Carbon Filtration Actually Works Activated carbon acts like a molecular sponge. Its porous structure traps contaminants through adsorption, binding them to the carbon surface. It’s especially good at reducing chlorine, VOCs, organic compounds, and improving taste and odor. When paired with high-quality materials and proper flow design, carbon filtration becomes one of the most reliable ways to clean everyday drinking water.
