A Passion for Clean Water: From Childhood to Career

Water quality is something many people take for granted, but for Dan Toth, owner of Mountain View Pure Water & Air, it is both a passion and a mission. In this episode of the Mountain View Pure Podcast, Dan shares his journey from working in a factory to becoming a water quality expert, now serving over 700 customers in the Tri-Cities area.

Dan’s appreciation for clean water began in childhood, influenced by his father, who worked as a water treatment technician. Growing up, he was fortunate to always have high-quality water at home, which led to what he jokingly calls becoming a “water snob.” However, this early exposure planted the seeds for a much larger purpose. After spending years in an unfulfilling factory job, Dan realized he wanted to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. Watching his father help families overcome water issues—whether it was eliminating foul odors, preventing staining, or tackling serious concerns like methane contamination—gave him a new perspective on what a career in water treatment could mean. This inspiration led him to seek specialized training in water treatment, eventually taking him to Florida, where he gained hands-on experience managing some of the most complex water challenges.

Mountain View Pure Water: A Mission for Healthier Living

In June 2016, Dan and his family relocated to the Tri-Cities region, drawn by the temperate climate and the beautiful natural surroundings that reminded him of home. What started as a simple mission to help people with their water quality has since grown into a thriving business, now approaching its tenth anniversary. Through his work, Dan has discovered his true passion—helping people live healthier lives by improving their water.

One of his biggest concerns is raising awareness about hidden toxins in both municipal tap water and bottled water. Many consumers believe that bottled water is a safer or healthier alternative, but studies show that plastic particles often leach into the water, potentially posing long-term health risks. Dan also emphasizes how high-quality water at home can reduce the need for harsh cleaning chemicals, making daily household tasks safer and more eco-friendly. By providing customized water treatment solutions, Mountain View Pure Water helps families create healthier living environments while also protecting their plumbing and appliances from hard water damage.

Building a Trusted Brand Through Service and Education

Growing Mountain View Pure Water has been an incredible journey, and marketing has played a huge role in its success. Dan has experimented with various strategies, including Google ads, television, radio, magazines, and direct mail. However, he has found that nothing is as effective as personal connections and word-of-mouth referrals. His involvement with Incredible Towns, a local networking organization, has introduced him to valuable relationships and new opportunities to educate potential customers.

The most powerful endorsement of Mountain View Pure Water’s commitment to quality comes from its satisfied customers. With 245 five-star Google reviews and a perfect rating, Dan’s reputation as a trusted water expert continues to grow. Fast response times and exceptional service set the company apart, ensuring that customers receive the best possible experience.

As the episode wraps up, Dan looks forward to diving deeper into some of the most common water quality questions, particularly surrounding the myths and realities of bottled water. Education remains at the heart of Mountain View Pure Water’s mission, helping people understand what’s really in their water and how they can improve it. For homeowners interested in learning more, the company offers free in-home consultations to determine the best solutions for their unique needs. Dan firmly believes that great water is the foundation of a great life—and he’s dedicated to helping families achieve it.
