Nearly 40 Years Dedicated to Water Safety: Raising Standards Together

1987 – 1993

H2O Adventures: From Microbe Hunter to Water Wizard!

1987: The Start of Our Journey

It all began back in 1987, fueled by a fascination for water safety and a passion to make a difference. What started as curiosity quickly turned into something much more impactful

1991: Field Microbiology at Environment Canada

In 1991, while still in university, I joined Environment Canada as a field microbiologist. For three years, I was out there, testing and analyzing water samples, getting a firsthand look at the hidden dangers in contaminated water. This experience set the stage for what would become my lifelong mission.

1994-1999: From Dot-Com to H2O

In the midst of the Internet boom, I launched a software company, helping small and mid-sized businesses go digital. But my heart never really left water science. Even with all the dot-com excitement, I knew where I wanted to make a bigger impact—back in water safety and engineering.

In 2023, Ontario reported 304 cases of Legionnaires’ disease, showing a troubling rise in numbers (Ontario Health). In the U.S., reports to the CDC have also spiked since 2000, and real cases might be 1.8–2.7 times higher than the recorded figures. In 2018 alone, over 10,000 cases were officially documented (CDC).

Innovating Legionella Management

After stepping away from the dot-com world, I turned my focus back to water treatment. What I found was an industry still using outdated technology from the 1970s. It was clear something needed to change. So, I teamed up with a group of industrial automation engineers. We wanted to bring something new to the table—solutions that were chemical-free and truly effective at managing Legionella, prioritizing public safety in a way that the old methods couldn’t.

2002 – 2013

From Vision to Reality with AquaLyse®

In 2002, ProCare Water Treatment Inc. was born. But we weren’t just filling a gap; we were setting out to redefine the industry. We introduced AquaLyse®—the first copper-silver ionization system with a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). It brought a level of precision and automation that was unheard of at the time. What started as a simple idea is now a trusted tool among engineering consultants.

2014 – 2024

CSIDefender®’s Decade of Excellence

By 2014, we took another big step forward with CSIDefender®. The industry needed something dependable for high-stakes applications—hospitals, commercial facilities, you name it. So, we rolled out military-grade ionization chambers and powerful controllers that could handle anywhere from 5A to 160A. Plus, we backed everything with a 10-year warranty.
