Kelly Thompson of Moti-Vitality has worked in water purification for 27 years. He earned a college degree in education and theatre and also served as a Navy Seabee. He intended to become a High School Theatre teacher. He realized that he didn't enjoy teaching and took a temporary job with a water softener company.

 

What was supposed to be a temporary job turned out to be an industry that he enjoys. He is a member of the Water Quality Association that regularly advises governments on water issues. Water treatment and distribution systems in this country are very old and costly to upgrade. Our ability to measure contaminants has been increasing along with our awareness of the damage to human health. Before the problems in Flint, there were no standards for acceptable lead levels in municipal water.
