As a nutritionist who has the worked in clinic, engineering labs and pharmacy. Nate's talk on prefiltration covered all of these bases, and acids ;-)
Here are some words from the man himself:
"Nate spent years as a practitioner. 3 degrees — nutrition, herbal medicine, naturopathy. A brilliant holistic GP took me under her wing and I learned more in clinical practice than I ever did in a lecture theatre. I became a sponge. I still am.
Water didn't come to me until around 2019. Before that, honestly? I thought water filters were for people who didn't like the taste. It felt basic.
Then I started thinking about it properly.
We are mostly water — water, bacteria, and cells. The body is an environment. And if you want that environment to thrive, the first thing you have to do is stop poisoning it. Give it what it needs to heal itself. Then you move into prevention. Into longevity. Into anti-ageing.
But water? You drink it every day. You cook with it. You shower in it. It never stops. It's not something you cycle on and off — it's constant.
That's why I poured everything into water. That's why I built PreFilters.

Last night I ran a private masterclass. Here's what we covered.
Ioniser protection — the thing most owners don't think about until something goes wrong. The electrolysis plates inside your ioniser are precision equipment. Feed them unfiltered bore, tank, or hard town water and you're quietly degrading performance every single day. Pre-filtration isn't an accessory. It's maintenance.
What's actually in Australian water:
PFAS — 315 documented locations nationwide. 37% in Sydney and Newcastle alone. These chemicals don't break down. They accumulate — in water, and in the body.
Chloramines — corrosive to ioniser plates. Still forming harmful by-products after treatment.
Fluoride — six chemical forms. Standard carbon filters don't touch it.
Heavy metals, parasites, THMs — the full picture of what proper pre-filtration is designed to deal with.
Hard water — above 80ppm, scale starts forming on plates. It acts as an insulator, quietly lowering hydrogen output month after month" and much much more.
Such a fabulous conversation that will continue
