In the 1970s I came across information that reliably demonstrated that science had inadequate knowledge about water. This insight was significant and important for my interest in water.<br>The inventor and philanthropist Bertil Pettersson was a source of inspiration. During many years, Bertil Pettersson had developed a spiral system that influenced water.<br>I founded the company BioAq was with the aim of studying water with a focus on structured water. BioAq carried out a series of innovative tests with spiral systems. These tests led to water structurers with special properties\u2014the BioAq structurers. These new BioAq structurers open up new possibilities for environmentally and economically interesting applications.<br>At the same time, the development work continues, in order to realize new visions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bioaq.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/trygve-3.jpg\" alt=\"Trygve Forssten\" class=\"wp-image-1364\" style=\"width:384px;height:384px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bioaq.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/trygve-3.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.bioaq.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/trygve-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bioaq.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/trygve-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bioaq.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/trygve-3-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.bioaq.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/trygve-3-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image ch_image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"235\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bioaq.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Christina.png\" alt=\"Christina\" class=\"wp-image-1126\" style=\"width:274px;height:275px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bioaq.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Christina.png 235w, https:\/\/www.bioaq.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Christina-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.bioaq.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Christina-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 235px) 100vw, 235px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Christina Kumlin<br>Marketing &amp; Business Development<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Water has always been the element I\u2019ve felt a strong pull toward, and I\u2019ve been fascinated by its power.<\/strong><br><strong>My first job was at a water laboratory in Uppsala, where we carried out various types of analyses on drinking water and watercourses. After that, I worked for several years at power plants, performing analyses on feedwater, steam, and district heating water. About 20 years ago, I came into contact with structured water for the first time. I became so interested in its effects in various areas that I bought my first structurer. The personal effects I\u2019ve experienced have been so positive that today I am wholeheartedly committed to contributing to its spread\u2014both to private individuals and organizations.<\/strong><br><strong>In addition to this, I work with leadership and team development, which I\u2019ve been doing since the year 2000. Before that, I worked in sales and marketing of medical diagnostic equipment. What I\u2019m passionate about is: Water, people, and technology in balance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trygve ForsstenManaging Director &amp; Biologist Water and water ecology have been lifelong interests for me.
