SpringWell Water on a Mission to Tackle Americas Water Contamination Issues, One Home at a Time
by BWW News Desk - April 29, 2019
SpringWell Water, a company that specializes in water filtration and softening systems, is doing their part to combat the ongoing drinking-water problems that are plaguing homes and communities in America today. Water contamination in the United States goes far beyond Flint, Michigan. In fact, researchers have discovered thousands of violations of water quality in America from 1982 to 2015. To make matters worse, investigations revealed that up to 63 million Americans have been exposed to unsafe drinking water. As our water delivery systems erode and pipes break, you can only imagine the amount of contaminated water Americans don't even know they're drinking. 'Almost everyone knows about the Flint water crisis. But the problem doesn't end there. Schools everywhere are finding lead in their drinking water,' says Tommy Stricklin of SpringWell Water. 'We need to protect our families from more than just lead too. This is why we're so heavily focused on manufacturing quality water filtration systems for the whole house.' Since Flint, there have been other concerns about drinking water: the growing presence of lead, haloacetic acids, microplastics, and other harmful substances. These materials have been found in water sources across the US and around the world. Cities like New York typically add phosphoric acid to the water, but sometimes lead can still be present. Others suggest buying bottled water, but a study carried out last year found that 93 percent of bottled water tested globally contains microplastics. For these reasons, SpringWell Water has debuted a unique line of environmentally-friendly whole house water filtration and softening systems which reduce andor remove harmful chemicals, pesticides, solvents, and metals usually found in water supplies. Using a coconut shell carbon filter, SpringWell Water reduces organic contaminants including chlorine, chloramine, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and herbicides in tap water. 'Our Lead and Cyst Removal System successfully eliminates more than 99.5% of cysts, lead and other heavy metals from water, as well as PFOAPFOS and disease-causing organisms like Guardia and Crypto,' notes Stricklin. According to a report, SpringWell Water's industry-leading whole house water filters have removed haloacetic acids from water sources in the town of Mount Pleasant, New York, Westchester County. About two decades ago, the company discovered its sole purpose of filling a need in the residential water filtration industry. A few years later, they started to develop what would become some of the most premium products on the market today. The company has also committed itself to deliver excellent customer care and incredible prices. They have a support team that is dedicated to assisting people with any concerns or questions. 'Moving forward, we aim to provide clean drinking water to millions of Americans. This is one of our biggest aspirations as a company and as a team,' Stricklin adds. After many iterations, production tests, and feedback rounds, SpringWell Water is gearing up to develop more state-of-the-art products to improve public health in the developing world. About SpringWell Water Our mission is to provide every family with clean drinking water while providing the highest quality customer service experience. We didn't set out to change the water filtration industry. We simply wanted to make the best water filters possible. Part of our passion stems from our attention to detail. We strive every day to have excellent Quality Control. This is why, for over two decades we've been designing, building, and packaging our products here in the U.S.A at our central Florida facility. This allows us to ensure the best possible product for all our customers. Visit our website at www.springwellwater.com to learn more and get in touch.

The Most Important Event of French Creation & 'Savoir-Faire' Ever Organized in the USA
by BWW News Desk - April 19, 2019
The most important gathering of the French Fashion Industry ever organized in the United States. The first edition of "FRENCH FASHION WEEK NEW YORK" will take place in Manhattan, September 4 to 8, 2019. The ambition is to bring together a variety of actors of the French fashion industry to promote this major French industry in the United States. Initiated by the US Committee of France's Foreign Trade Advisers (CCE) and by French Touch USA, this event addresses a double antagonistic observation: French fashion is one of France's leading exporters, but is greatly under-represented in the United States, one of the world's largest importers of fashion goods. Approaching the US under the "French Fashion Banner" French Fashion Week New York will be a unique opportunity for the various American audiences (industry professionals, buyers, distributors, showrooms, influencers, media, investors and consumers) to discover some of the "best Kept Secrets" of French fashion, many coming to the US for the first time. Another important objective of French Fashion Week New York will be to facilitate connections and help generate business interactions with the US market players. The event will also support small companies of great talent who are often key players in French fashion but do not have the resources to come to the US alone. In New York, they will rely on the expertise of the CCEs and US market experts, to guide them in the management of the opportunities presented to them. To date, nearly 40 companies have already confirmed their presence at the event, during which the diversity of French "savoir-faire"(know-how) will be highlighted. As such, many fashion trades will be represented, such as: - Haute Couture, Couture and Fashion Emerging Designers - About twenty "Living Heritage" Companies (EPV) led by Luc Lesénécal, also a CCE - Several Manufacturing workshops who work for the most prestigious French brands - Talented Fashion Artisans - French Fashion Tech Companies - Sustainable Fashion Brands The motto: Give the opportunity to the French Fashion Industry participants to present their talent and diversity to the American market. The participants, young designers or established brands can rely on a customized setup. Dedicated fashion shows, a showroom "à la française," as well as receptions, meetings and B2B events. The organizers want to highlight the creativity and know-how of the French fashion industry while promoting its innovation and a more responsible approach. Some names, among the first participants, make it possible to understand the spirit of this major event: - Two emerging brands selected for Designers Apartment (organized by the Federation of Haute Couture and Fashion): Mazarine Paris, laureate of the Grand Prix of Creation of the City of Paris in 2015, and Clara Daguin, who combines artisanal work and emerging technologies - Sami Nouri, a young Couture designer who worked at Jean-Paul Gaultier, an Afghan refugee who became the "little prince of fashion" - Romain Brifaut, who has made a strength of his difference - SAINT JAMES, labeled "EPV," whose know-how will celebrate its 130th anniversary in 2019 - Maison Jaubalet, a high end jeweler of the famous Place Vendôme - Jeans 1083, the brand of organic jeans, made in France and eco-responsible - Poétique Paris, a 100% vegan French fashion house or Atelier Alienor, a French ethical brand born in the heart of Texas - Etablissements THIERRY and Atelier MARQUE & MOD who work for the most prestigious French fashion houses; - But also ultramarine couture designers such as Raimana Cowan from Tahiti About the Foreign Trade Advisors of France (CCE) A network of 4,000 business leaders and international experts, chosen for their expertise, members of France's export team and supporting France's global development. Present in all regions in France and in more than 140 countries. The Foreign Trade Advisors (CCE) volunteer pro bono their experience to benefit the development of France. They carry out daily concrete actions in partnership with public and private actors having a role in promoting and supporting the internationalization of French companies. Appointed on the proposal of the Secretary of State for Foreign Trade, the CCEs are invested by the public authorities in four missions: counseling public authorities, supporting businesses, internationally educating young trainees and promoting France's attractiveness.
