Atlantic Water Treatment Technologies is wholly owned in Cape Breton. We cover the Canadian Atlantic Provinces, specifically the Eastern part of Nova Scotia. However, with the use of this web site, we do not adhere to boundaries. We can help you, regardless of where you reside.
Our mandate is to provide water treatment services and product, industrially, commercially and of course to home owners.
Water treatment is a very broad and “in depth” technology. Each case is unique and the treatment applied should also be unique. Your home and facility represents a substantial investment, therefore protecting this investment is a very important responsibility.
Applying inadequate or the wrong treatment can be costly and time consuming
Atlantic Water Treatment Technologies is challenged constantly in making sure that the right product and service is applied to each specific water profile.
It is because of this that treatment is designed, custom built and applied personally by our knowledgeable technical team. If the application has limitations, we will be sure that you are aware.
