Water Testing
Our certified technicians perform comprehensive water testing to identify contaminants like bacteria, heavy metals, and minerals. We analyze results to recommend tailored treatment solutions. Our process ensures accurate diagnosis of water quality issues for residential and commercial properties.
Filters
We install advanced filtration systems to remove impurities including sediment, chlorine, and organic compounds. Our solutions improve taste, odor, and safety while protecting plumbing fixtures. Systems include mechanical, carbon, and specialty filters for specific contaminants.
Softeners
Our water softeners eliminate hardness minerals causing scale buildup and staining. We offer salt-based, salt-free, and dual-tank systems for continuous soft water supply. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of household appliances.
Reverse Osmosis Systems
We provide under-sink reverse osmosis units for point-of-use drinking water purification. These systems remove dissolved solids, heavy metals, and microorganisms through multi-stage filtration. Ideal for households seeking bottled-water quality without plastic waste.
UV Light Systems
Our ultraviolet purification systems effectively kill bacteria, viruses, and pathogens without chemicals. Designed for whole-house treatment, these systems maintain water taste while providing continuous microbial protection. Annual lamp replacements ensure consistent performance.

When building our house, water treatment should be the first thing on one's mind. We wanted a whole house water solution, Gary and his team were concise, timely and reliable. We've had the system for over a year now and there have been no issues, our water never tasted better. Gary and his team will be the only water treatment company I would recommend. Thanks for all you've done for us.!

Gary was prompt when responding via email and helped me figure out a solution within my budget. He also worked with me to figure out a payment plan.
Cody and the other gentleman who installed a water softener and reverse osmosis for me were polite, professional, and took the time to explain my new equipment. The guys left no mess at all and the job took less than 2.5hrs. Overall very satisfied and highly recommend the guys at Ecowater! Thank you!

I have had issues with my water system for a couple of years until Gary and his crew came in and properly diagnosed the issue and fixed everything. The service was fantastic! Thank you!

Buying a home is tricky, but when you have a poor water test (arsenic), I would only recommend Gary. In a single breath he will explain what you need, why it happens, how it can be fixed, why youll achieve success correcting your water problems and everything in between. Walls full of trophies and achievements. Really cool guy.
