Commercial Water Treatment in Kitchener-Waterloo

Softening, filtration, reverse osmosis and UV for the water going to your equipment.

Commercial water treatment protects the equipment your business runs on. We install and service commercial water softeners, filtration, reverse osmosis and UV systems for restaurants, boiler rooms, multi-unit buildings and light industrial sites across Waterloo Region, Guelph and Halton. Every job starts with a site assessment, then you get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts.

 

Who we work with

  • Restaurants and food service.Dish machines, combi ovens, steamers, ice machines and coffee equipment all scale up on hard water. Treating the water feeding them cuts descaling, spotting and service calls.
  • Boiler rooms and mechanical rooms.Scale on a heat exchanger makes the burner run longer, and you pay for that every month. Soft, filtered make-up and domestic hot water keep boilers and water heaters running the way they were designed to.
  • Multi-unit buildings and property managers.One properly sized central system instead of a softener in every unit. Fewer tenant calls about crusty fixtures and failed water heaters.
  • Light industrial and process water.Rinse water, washdown and process equipment that needs consistent water quality.

What we install

Commercial water softeners.

Pinnacle (Summit Water) softeners with Clack or Fleck control valves and 10% cross-linked resin. Twin alternating systems give you soft water around the clock, even while one tank regenerates. More on our Commercial Water Softener Installation page.

Filtration.

Sediment and carbon filtration ahead of sensitive equipment, sized to your flow so it doesn't choke the building's pressure.

UV disinfection.

VIQUA UV systems for sites on a private well, so the water is treated for bacteria before it reaches staff, customers or tenants.

What we don't do: we treat the water going to your equipment. We don't service the equipment itself (dish machines, ovens, ice machines). That stays with your equipment dealer.

 

Sized to the building, not a catalogue number

A commercial system is sized to your water, your peak flow and the equipment you're protecting. Too small and it can't keep up at your busiest hour. Too big and the water channels through the same path in the resin, so you only use part of what you paid for. We test your water, look at your equipment and your usage, then size it.

What hard water does to commercial equipment.

FAQ

Does a restaurant need a water softener?

Most restaurants in Waterloo Region do. Our water runs 17 to 36 grains per gallon depending on the street, which is hard to very hard. That scale lands inside dish machines, combi ovens, ice machines and water heaters. Many equipment makers also list water quality requirements in their warranty.

How do you size a commercial water softener?

From your water hardness, your peak flow rate and your daily usage, plus the equipment you're protecting. We confirm all of it at the site assessment.

Do you service systems you didn't install?

Yes. A commercial softener service call starts at $225 + HST plus parts. We'll tell you whether it's worth repairing or replacing.

What does commercial water treatment cost?

It depends on the building, the flow and what you're protecting, so we price it after a site assessment. You get the scope and the price in writing before any work starts.

What areas do you serve?

Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Wilmot (New Hamburg, Baden, New Dundee), Woolwich (Elmira, St. Jacobs), Wellesley, Ayr, Plattsville, Rockwood, Acton, Georgetown, Milton and Halton Hills.
