Services
Water Testing
Comprehensive water testing identifies contaminants like arsenic, uranium, and bacteria. We analyze samples from residential wells and municipal supplies, providing detailed reports to determine appropriate treatment solutions. Our technicians recommend specialized laboratories for precise chemical analysis.
Reverse Osmosis Systems
Point-of-use reverse osmosis systems remove dissolved solids and improve water taste. Our under-counter units combine carbon filtration with semi-permeable membranes to eliminate chlorine, fluoride, and heavy metals while maintaining essential minerals.
Ultraviolet Light Systems
Whole-home UV systems eliminate bacteria and viruses through germicidal light exposure. We install UV Dynamics' Canadian-made systems with flow rates from 10-13 GPM, including wall-mounted models with integrated pre-filtration.
Water Softeners
Custom water softeners address calcium and magnesium buildup. Our salt-based and salt-free systems prevent scale formation in plumbing, appliances, and fixtures while improving detergent efficiency for laundry and dishwashing.
Commercial Treatment
Tailored water treatment for restaurants, healthcare facilities, and industrial clients. We install large-scale reverse osmosis units, dealkalizers, and cooling water systems with flow rates up to 100 GPM, ensuring compliance with commercial standards.
