Hard water. Chlorine taste and odour. Scale on fixtures. Spots on glassware. Dry-feeling skin and hair. Drinking water you simply don’t enjoy.
The right water treatment system starts by understanding what is actually in your water.
Aido Climate Solutions and Water Wizards provide professional EcoWater® water treatment solutions for homeowners throughout Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Fergus, Elora and surrounding communities.
From whole-home water softening to advanced water refining and reverse osmosis drinking water, we’ll test your water, explain what we find and recommend a system based on your home, your family and your water — not a one-size-fits-all package.
EcoWater has been designing residential water treatment systems since 1925 and offers solutions for both whole-home water treatment and drinking water purification.
EcoWater systems are designed to address common household water concerns including:
The right solution depends on your water chemistry, household size, plumbing, water usage and what you want to improve.
You shouldn’t buy a water treatment system based on a guess.
During your in-home consultation, a Water Wizards specialist can evaluate:
We’ll show you what we’re finding and explain which problems require treatment — and which ones don’t.
A straightforward solution for homes primarily dealing with hard water.
The EcoWater EEC1502 series is an excellent starting point for homeowners who want the everyday benefits of softened water without paying for features they may not need.

Available in multiple capacities so the system can be properly sized to the home.
For many households, the Enhanced series provides the best balance between performance, efficiency and investment.
The ESD platform offers additional sizing flexibility and is well suited to the needs of a typical family home.

A great fit for many Guelph and area homes.
For homeowners who want higher performance and more advanced system capabilities, the EcoWater ECR3700 series provides a premium whole-home softening solution.
Available in several capacities, the ECR platform is especially attractive for larger households and higher water-demand applications.
Select systems can incorporate EcoWater’s connected monitoring technology, allowing homeowners to access useful system and water-use information remotely.
Ideal for:
Sometimes hardness isn’t the only concern.
EcoWater’s premium water refiners combine whole-home water conditioning with additional treatment intended to improve more than just hardness.
This makes the ERR series particularly attractive for homeowners concerned with both the feel of their water and its overall taste and odour characteristics.
A water refiner may be the right fit if you’re looking for:
We’ll determine during your water analysis whether a refiner offers a meaningful advantage for your home.
Whole-home water treatment and drinking-water treatment solve different problems.
For families looking for high-quality water for drinking, coffee, tea, cooking and ice, EcoWater reverse osmosis systems provide an additional level of filtration at the point of use.
Reverse osmosis uses multiple treatment stages including a semipermeable membrane to reduce a wide range of dissolved substances before the water reaches your drinking-water faucet.
A strong everyday drinking-water solution for families who want the benefits of reverse osmosis at an approachable price point.
Features include:
The ERO385 is our step-up option for households wanting a more premium drinking-water system and increased output capability.
It is an excellent match for families who use a significant amount of filtered water for:
A selection of EcoWater drinking-water faucets allows the finished system to coordinate with your kitchen.

This is our top-tier choice for families who want a premium drinking-water experience and advanced system monitoring.
Want another level of drinking-water treatment?
An alkaline filtration stage can be incorporated into compatible reverse osmosis installations.
Ask your Water Wizards specialist whether an alkaline upgrade makes sense for your drinking-water preferences.
For many families, the best solution isn’t choosing between a water softener and reverse osmosis.
It’s doing both.
A properly designed complete-water system can provide:
Buying premium equipment is only half the decision.
The other half is who installs it and who answers the phone afterward.

EcoWater
A water softener is designed primarily to reduce hardness minerals such as calcium and magnesium, helping reduce scale buildup and improve how water performs throughout the home. A water refiner combines water softening with additional filtration and may be a better fit when you also want to address chlorine or chloramine taste and odour. We test your water and review your priorities before recommending either option.
The right size depends on more than the number of people in your home. We consider your water hardness, household size, typical water use, plumbing and peak demand. Proper sizing helps the system operate efficiently while providing the treated water your household needs.
A water softener is designed to treat hardness; it is not a complete drinking-water filtration system. If your goal is better-tasting water or additional reduction of dissolved substances at the kitchen tap, we may recommend an EcoWater reverse osmosis system or another drinking-water treatment option alongside your whole-home system.
Many homeowners choose both because they perform different jobs. A water softener treats hard water throughout the home, while a reverse osmosis system provides an additional level of treatment for water used for drinking, cooking, coffee, tea and ice. During your consultation, we can determine whether one system or a combination makes the most sense for your home.
Salt use varies with water hardness, household consumption, system size and programming. Modern demand-initiated systems regenerate based on actual water use rather than simply operating on a fixed schedule. We size and program the system for your home's conditions and show you how to monitor and refill the salt when needed.
Yes. EcoWater offers treatment solutions for both municipal and private-well applications, but the right equipment depends on the water conditions. Our in-home testing helps identify common treatment needs. Well-water concerns can be more complex, so additional laboratory testing or specialized treatment may be recommended when appropriate.
Maintenance depends on the equipment installed. A softener typically requires periodic salt replenishment, while drinking-water systems require filter and membrane replacement at recommended intervals. We explain the maintenance schedule at installation and can provide ongoing service, replacement filters and system support.
We review the concerns you are experiencing, test your water for common treatment factors such as hardness and chlorine where applicable, inspect the existing plumbing and equipment, and discuss your household's water use. We then explain the results and recommend treatment only where it makes sense. The in-home analysis is intended to guide residential water-treatment decisions and is not a substitute for certified laboratory testing when a specific health or contaminant concern requires one.
