About The Water Guy

In 37 years, The Water Guy has grown from its humble beginnings as a small town water treatment company, to providing reliable water purification equipment with a personal touch through a Local Service Division that spans nearly 20 cities and 50 rural areas throughout the region.

Whether your water treatment requirements are Residential, Municipal, Commercial, Industrial or Rural, The Water Guy and its staff of trained Water Techs bring years of experience in a wide variety of water purification and transfer applications.

It's About People, Reliability and Quality

Word of mouth, "Neighbour to Neighbour" recommendations have carried us from the early days and through the toughest financial years to where we are today.

It's simple really. A company and its people has to gain the trust of the community through relationships and a body of quality work done. By caring about our clients, their water needs, challenges and concerns while providing the best possible service, advice, equipment and craftsmanship possible then the rest takes care of itself.

"Unparalleled Customer Satisfaction = Long Lasting Client Relationships"

This formula has proven itself to be successful in every aspect of what we do. Both our Local and Online Service divisions continue to enjoy long lasting client relationships that have stayed strong and committed for decades.

Today we occupy our fourth building in a central location in the East Kootenays. Even as we continue to outgrow buildings, we are still committed to never outgrowing our founding promise to always excel in service, quality and integrity in everything we do.

Our Local Service Division provides some of the most reliable, state of the art water treatment systems our industry has produced to date.

As the Water Purification industry continues to evolve and reinvent itself so do we as we constantly make sure that our clients receive only the most technologically advanced and emerging water purification technologies available.

Our clients that have been with us for many decades also enjoy peace of mind as we continue to ensure that their legacy water treatment equipment is properly maintained, serviced and appropriately upgraded to guarantee their system's long term reliability. A properly maintained system means that our clients, their families and businesses can continue to enjoy a safe and healthy source of water today... and for many years to come.

More than 23 years ago, The Water Guy Online service division established itself as one of North America's most reliable suppliers of rare, hard to find, specialized water equipment parts and accessories.

Rapidly building a reputation for unmatched customer service and an in-depth knowledge of all our product lines, we have attracted a Clientele that includes Home Owners, Do-It-Yourselfers (DIYs), Municipalities, Industrial operations and yes... even other Water Purification Companies!

We have a terrific team of hard working Water Technicians that are dedicated to ensuring that our Clients find the right water treatment solution for their specifications. All of our Staff members are committed and highly qualified experts that are experienced in handling a diverse range of water treatment problems and concerns.

This is hard to find at a time when many companies have outsourced their support calls to overseas operations or automated systems connected to nothing more than a warehouse with sales operators. Inexperienced, "Order Takers", that often have never even touched the products, let alone know anything about them.

The advantage for you when you choose The Water Guy, is that our Water Techs are "Hands On" with all the water treatment equipment that we offer. So when you Contact Us you are speaking with experienced water professionals who work with these products and Clients like you every day!

Yes... when your order with us you are ordering directly from the warehouse! Not from a freight forwarding service that takes 3 weeks to get you what you need! People call and ask us this all the time... in fact, other "water" websites often call us to ask if we would help to fill their orders because they are "Out of Stock".

Sound familiar? If it does, then you know that if your household has no clean water due to a faulty piece of water treatment equipment, then waiting several weeks while a company gets their act together just isn't acceptable.

Our warehouse houses thousands of items, many of which can be viewed on our website. If you are looking for a rare submersible pump, water treatment system, UV sterilizer, water transfer system or related parts and accessories, then please contact us by email or call our office (1-866-489-4004) to speak with an experienced "in the field" water guy.

We also carry many hard to find products, parts and accessories that aren't found anywhere online. Even though not all of our products are currently posted on our website, we invite you to inquire about our, "Secret Stash" of hard to find water treatment products, tools and equipment. :)

Orders are shipped from Mon - Friday within 24hrs and many items can be sent the same day. A variety of shipping options are available for overnight, international, common carrier and ground packages to even the most remote areas of Canada, the United States and even Europe.

Our Clients choose us for our experience and knowledge. Whether your customer service inquiry is about order placement, tracking information, price or availability, you will always reach a helpful staff member or a knowledgeable Water Technician.

Has Your Water Treatment Company Left You with Abandonment Issues?

Over the last 37 years we have pretty much seen it all. In that time quite a few treatment companies and a few "fly by night" operations have come and gone. "knock... knock... Can I test your water?". Ahem. Well, anyway... without mentioning names their departure has left those that invested in their equipment hanging high and "dry".

We have worked on every type of Water Softener, Iron Filter, UV Filtration System, Water Transfer System, Reverse Osmosis machine and xyz product that can be found in the Kootenays.

If you're stuck, give us a call! We'll have The Water Guy Van drop by to see what needs to be done to get your water system back to life!

Even though we are called "The Water Guy", it was really Two Water Guys that started this business, each with a company and a focus of their own. One was a well service company with a EcoWater treatment franchise and the other was a water systems builder.

In 2001 these two water treatment companies were joined and The Water Guy ~ Echo Water & Well Service has been our full name ever since. The treatment franchise was let go of in 2001 and in 2002 a close relationship began with a progressive and fast growing company called Waterite Technologies, Inc.

Although Waterite quickly became one of our main water equipment manufacturers with its wide range of water treatment products and services, we also developed many long term relationships since the early 1990's with some of the largest water equipment distributors in North America. Many of which you can find on this website.

As a Canadian company with strong roots in the community, our pledge is to never forget the foundations of what has earned us such solid relationships with our Local and Online Clients since our humble beginnings... regardless of the distances involved.

We look forward to the next 37 years... and as we reflect on the last 37 years and what got us here today, it is our commitment to unparalleled service and expertise that will continue to be the core foundations of everything that we do.

Both our Local and Online Service divisions have seen our Client's awareness and understanding of their water constantly evolve as our relationships with them have grown.

Decades ago we could spend hours in a Client's home, explaining why they might be interested in an iron filter as they asked about a large orange semi-circle that had damaged the side of their house from having their lawn sprinkler hit it.

Today, our Clients often come to us asking us to solve very specific water health and performance requirements. Often looking for custom tailored solutions to fit their specific needs, budgets and maintenance expectations... it is their unique requirements that keep us evolving and moving forward into the future. This has become our forte... years of experience, education and the equipment that is the right fit for the application.

It is a Good Day to be The Water Guy

Thank you for putting your trust in us and inviting us into your homes. We look forward to being your reliable resource for your water purification requirements now, and for many years into the future…
