For Mechanical Contractors
Watertech Provides Mechanical Contractors Experienced Water Treatment Services
Watertech works alongside mechanical contractors during construction and commissioning, so your systems start clean, your clients start right, and you hand off a project you’re proud of.
With over 45 years of experience serving the Midwest, we proudly support customers across six states (WI, IL, IA, MN, SD, ND). From the initial conversation to final delivery and support, you’ll work with a single point of contact, ensuring clear communication, accountability, and a seamless experience every step of the way.
New Systems Fail for Reasons that Happen Before Commissioning
Construction debris, weld slag, flux residue, and pipe scale don’t disappear on their own. Without proper pre-commission cleaning and startup chemistry, you’re handing a client a system that’s already degrading.
Corrosion, fouling, and premature equipment failure get traced back to whoever installed it. Watertech helps mechanical contractors get ahead of that — with startup programs built for new construction, not retrofitted from existing-facility protocols.
Weld slag and pipe scale
Left in the system, these abrade seals, foul heat exchangers, and cause early valve failure.
Corrosion from day one
Untreated new systems establish corrosion patterns in the first weeks of operation that persist for years.
Warranty and call-back exposure
When a boiler or cooling system underperforms in year one, the contractor gets the call — not the equipment manufacturer.
Legionella compliance gaps
Regulators and insurers expect a water management plan at occupancy. New facilities are not exempt.
The Right Treatment Program for a New System Starts Before the First Drop of Water
Pre-Commission System Cleaning
Boil-outs, passivation, and initial flushes for boilers, closed loops, and hydronic systems. We spec the chemistry to match your system materials and design conditions, not generic defaults.
Startup Chemical Programs
Initial treatment programs for boilers, cooling towers, and closed loops; calibrated to the system from day one. Not adjusted over time after damage is already done.
Owner Transition & Training
We hand off directly to the building owner or facility operator with a documented treatment program, baseline water data, and staff orientation. You hand off clean, with a paper trail.
Legionella Risk Assessment
Regulators and insurers are paying more attention to water management plans at occupancy. New facilities, especially healthcare and hospitality, are not exempt. We help you check that box before handoff.
We Don’t Just Treat the Water, We Help Spec and Install the Equipment
Watertech’s application specialists work alongside mechanical contractors from design through commissioning. We help select and size boiler feed systems, cooling tower chemical feed and control equipment, and pretreatment systems — and we can identify installation locations and tie-in points during design, before anything gets built around the wrong space.
When it’s time to commission, our team handles startup. You’re not leaving that to the owner or a third party who wasn’t part of the project.
Boiler System Equipment
Chemical feed systems, controllers, and ancillary equipment sized for the boiler design and load. We work from the specs, not off-the-shelf defaults.
Cooling Tower Equipment
Chemical feed, blowdown control, conductivity monitoring, and automation packages. We help you get the control side right during construction — not after the first season.
Pretreatment Equipment
Softeners, filtration, and RO systems selected and sized for the water quality and application. Changes at the design stage are cheap. Changes after installation aren’t.
From Design Phase to Owner Handoff
Early Engagement
Bring us in at design. We advise on equipment selection, sizing, and tie-in locations before walls go up.
Equipment Specification
Our application specialists confirm chemical feed, blowdown, and pretreatment specs match the system design.
Pre-Commission Cleaning
We perform boil-outs, passivation, and flushes before the system goes live — cleaning out what construction left behind.
Owner Handoff
Documented program, baseline data, and operator orientation. You hand off clean. We take it from there.
Legionella Risk Assessment
Regulators and insurers are paying more attention to water management plans at occupancy. New facilities, especially healthcare and hospitality, are not exempt. We help you check that box before handoff.
