How a Smart Approach to Water Treatment and Distribution
Saves Money Now and In The Future

The difference between the approach most water engineering firms take and the approach taken by The H2O Group can be summed-up in three words.
 
Real  world  application.
 
It is based on the simple but often ignored fact that water treatment systems are not just designed, they are used. As The H2O Group designs a project, we constantly ask, "Will this design not only work, but will it be efficient and easy to operate?" That’s why every aspect of an H2O Group design – from the filtration system to the placement of every valve handle – is decided with the operator in mind. In a world where engineers often design treatment plants “without ever getting their hands wet,” this is an altogether different way to operate.

Our team includes highly experienced engineers that are also certified operators who know the fine points of balancing and tuning a system so that it runs at it's optimum level. This expertise is put to use in all phases of the project — planning, design, bidding, construction management, start-up, and operation.

This approach results in far more benefits than simply ease-of-use. It creates a system that’s cost effective to build, and cost effective to operate.

One client experiencing iron and manganese problems had an issue with the handling of backwash water from their filters. A one-of-a-kind system was developed that reclaimed 99.4% of the backwash water. This eliminated over $450,000 in wastewater connection fees alone. It more than paid for the construction of the new backwash system. Even better, it saved the district over $50,000 every year in operating costs.
 
From planning through operation, you can benefit from this smart water engineering approach as well. Contact us. We'll arrange an initial discussion to identify your specific needs and determine how we can work together.
