'Shark Tank': Chemist's water filter invention was inspired by Flint—Mark Cuban invested $400,000 via CNBCMakeIt
The companies that appear on ABC's"Shark Tank" often solve quirky problems like keeping beer cold or solving under-breast sweat. But some are in the business of tackling bigger issues, like helping provide access to clean drinking water. That was the case for Eric Roy, a PhD and chemist who pitched his customized water filters on Sunday's episode, ultimately scoring a six-figure deal with Mark Cuban.
"I set up in my studio apartment in Washington, D.C. and just started building high-capacity lead removal filters and donating them to people in child-centric organizations in Flint," he explains on the show. While Roy says lead and arsenic levels in drinking water are a problem in many areas of the United States, guest judge Rohan Oza says he thinks it will be hard to build enough awareness around the issue, so he's out.
