ABOUT US: Phyn is changing the way people think about water. In just nine years nearly two in three people may face a shortage of clean water. Yet in the U.S alone, people unknowingly waste a trillion gallons of water per year, largely because Itn invisible problem that is hidden behind the walls, underground, or simply ignored.
