I was in one of my distribution classes last semester and I heard the class next door playing your podcast. A lot of the people me included within my class said, "Oh damn its the Water Sifu!" Thank you for all those videos and tutorials over the years!

hahaha... Thanks for sharing that story. It made me crack up. You have no idea how much I hear similar stories from people all over. I honestly don't know whether the be flattered that they are using my material or horrified that the teachers don't seem to be able to teach it themselves.

Your BACK!!! Please more videos on this topic and water treatment! Great to see you again! CHEERS

Hay Ty. It’s 2021 and I’m still listening too and loving the “Water Sifu” podcast. Really helped me, and continues to do so. Thank you so much for doing this. You’re a hero.

Ok Alex... First off, you've got the year wrong. It's August 17, 2021. LOL All joking aside, I appreciate the kind words. I'm not sure if you are referring to these KZread videos, or my podcasts, but I still stand by all the videos. It's not like the basic principles in the industry have changed much. A pump is still a pump, a well is still a well, treatment techniques are still the same, methods of calculating dosages are all the same. This problem in this video would still be calculated the exact same way, etc. If something were to change, I would adjust the video properly. As for the audio podcasts themselves and the website, I am still active with the website and the information is still current. Do not let the date of the last podcast post fool you. If anything should change from time to time (and I have already done this a few times) I simply edit and re-upload the original media file to my media hosting site. Although this causes changes to the audio podcast you listen to, it does not effect the original release date of the podcast or post.

Great video

Saw a similar problem on my Distribution 2 exam. Intimidately I thought of volume. Luckly the answer was not there. So then I thought about the exercise more and figured it was a surface area exercise and managed to solve it. This video is great in showing how to do it.

I really should... lol, but it totally took a back burner. I didn't really feel like the interest was there for continuing education hours, and I felt like the site itself was doing great as is for helping people with their exams. But I should either make them or remove the "coming soon" part. I'll make a decision one way or another in the next week or so. Thanks for bringing that up. Currently, the site offers 12 hours, but at least four more would be really helpful to people with certification renewals.

@TheWaterSifu

Hey Blake, the best way to reply to that is just to share this question from the Q&A page of my site. "Do You Have Any Wastewater Specific information?" I have talked with many people searching for wastewater training information and always feel a little bad in telling them that this site does not focus on wastewater. The entire focus of this material is on potable (drinking) water treatment and distribution. Although I am very highly certified in potable water treatment (T4) and distribution (D5), I have never worked in wastewater, nor do I hold any certification in it. I do know from talking with people in that field, that many people in wastewater have had very good success with my water math courses, especially with learning the math basics, but having never worked in the field I can’t personally vouch for it. I also know from seeing some wastewater practice questions that there are certain problems they will not cover. Unfortunately, having never worked in that industry or tested for a certification, I’m not familiar with any place to refer people to for that information.

Brother, it's mathematic for kids of 10 😄😄😄
