Recently a customer shared with me how important it is to her that she trusts a company’s employees enough to enter her home on a regular basis. To us, this is one of the best compliments we can receive. Our team works hard to make it an easy and pleasant experience for our customers. At Aquatek Water Conditioning, delivery to households and businesses in Northwest Ohio and Southeastern Michigan is something that we have been doing well before the convenience of modern doorstep delivery!
For decades, we have provided peace of mind and quality of life for our customers with our delivery service. Our most commonly delivered products are 5-gallon bottles of spring water, water softener salt, and hydrogen peroxide, but we also deliver 5-gallon bottles of distilled water, pond products, chlorine, filters, and more!
Ten Reasons Delivery Service may be for You or a Loved One
Enjoy the ease of having products delivered directly to your home or office. No more frantic, last-minute running because you were too busy or forgot to pick up your product!
Save some gas money by avoiding a trip to town. It’s one less thing you need to worry about!
No more carrying several bags of salt or peroxide into the basement. Our delivery driver does that for you AND he fills up the tanks for you!
Peace of mind for elderly parents or neighbors who are unable to get out, or struggle carrying heavy products.
One less thing to do for parents with young children. No more loading the kids up in the vehicle just to get water, salt, or peroxide!

It’s Easy to Get Started!

At Aquatek Water Conditioning, we are strong promoters of preventative maintenance. One of the most frequent questions we receive from our customers is, “What pond products can I use to help keep my pond healthy, clean, and beautiful all year long?”
Maintaining a pond can be an ongoing challenge. A pond is an ecosystem that is constantly changing due to the environment and nature. It is much more difficult to control the water in your pond like you would in a pool.
Preventative Maintenance seems to be the name of the game when trying to keep your pond healthy, clean and beautiful. Many of our customers utilize a combination of pond dye and naturally occurring bacteria on a monthly basis. They report to us that this combination really helps them stay on top of common issues such as weed, algae growth and overall muck prevention.
Keeping our customers in mind, especially those who use their pond as a potable water (or as a drinking) source, we searched for a company with FDA approved products that we could stock in our store. Sanco Industries produces products are 100% safe for humans, fish, livestock, pets, birds, swimming, potable water, and irrigation. Customers have had a lot of success using the Crystal Blue line of products from Sanco Industries .
Pond Dyes, such as Crystal Blue, do more than just give your pond a beautiful blue color. Pond dyes, in general, can be described as sunscreen for your pond. They give a level of UV barrier from the sun, which can help slow down the growth of algae and weeds. As an added bonus, the dye gives your pond a beautiful color.
Crystal Blue is our most popular colorant. The manufactures recommendation for application is to pour one gallon of dye per, one surface acre into the pond. Application depends on customer preference and can be left up to some experimentation. Frequency of application is going to depend on the weather. You may need to apply more frequently during periods of rainy seasons versus drier times. Customers who use pond water drinking systems should not dose more than the recommended application, as otherwise, they run the risk in having the colored water move through their system into the home. If this happens, the water is completely safe to drink, but could have a blue tint.
Another colorant we carry is Ocean Blue, which provides a more turquoise, ocean-like color. It is a great option to start with if you are worried about going too dark. Application is the same as noted above.
Additionally, we carry Sapphire Blue, which provides a more natural, lake looking color. It appears darker and is great for customers who want to keep their pond looking a little more natural.
The same pond dye/colorant in the same pond can look different depending on several factors: what issues the pond is experiencing, what color the pond is before dye is added, or even the time of day.
The image below shows a pond whose owner used Crystal Blue from a similar angle at different times of the day.
The other preventative maintenance product we carry is Natural Pond Cleaner. This formulation is comprised of naturally occurring bacteria that helps eat away at the muck and dead vegetation in your pond. It is one of the healthiest things you can do for your pond, and there is no over application! It isn’t a quick fix for thick muck situations, but when used regularly, it can make a marked difference in the overall health and feel of your pond.
And for those of you who like a two for one application, we carry a product called Pond Booster. It is a combination of both Crystal Blue and Natural Pond Cleaner. It’s specially formulated for colder temperatures and is a great spring and fall application. We have customers who use Pond Booster all year round. They love the convenience of having both products in one bottle!
We are by no means experts in pond maintenance, but we do receive questions from our customers about maintaining their ponds. We make it a point each year to have representatives from Sanco Industries and Pond Champs share product information, applications and trends with us so that we can best help our customers with their pond needs. When we don’t know, we simply contact the experts that do know so we can get you the information you need to maintain that healthy and beautiful pond!
As warmer temps are on the rise and it’s finally feeling like summer in Northwest Ohio, we have had an influx of customers calling in and stopping by to ask about products that can help with the algae growth in their pond. Even though we are not pond maintenance experts by trade, we do sell products from Sanco Industries that assist with maintaining healthy and beautiful ponds.The pond care products are FDA approved, effective and safe for all our customers!
One of our most popular algae control products is Crystal Plex. Crystal Plex is a liquid algaecide that is highlyeffective for filamentous algae, planktonic algae and chara. The application is simple and you can get the most bang for your buck by using a hand-held sprayer and spraying directly onto the algae mats in the pond. It is advised to only treat about a third of your pond at a time as the Crystal Plex will temporarily deplete the oxygen in your pond.It is also recommended to wait 5-7 days in-between treatments to avoid oxygen depletion.
In warmer temperatures, you can expect the algae to begin turning brown in just a few short hours and in cooler temperatures you can expect it to brown up within 48 hours. Our customers share with us that Crystal Plex has been a really effective algae treatment. Crystal Plex should not be used if your pond contains sensitive fish such as koi, goldfish, or trout. I will highlight another non-copper-based product below that is safe for those sensitive fish.
Plex Mate is a great product to use in conjunction with Crystal Plex. Plex Mate is an aquatic-grade surfactant that helps adhere the Crystal Plex to the algae mats. Simply mix a couple of capfuls into your sprayer along with the Crystal Plex. Crystal Plex will still be effective without the Plex Mate, but it’s just one little bonus helping you to get the most out of your Cyrstal Plex. One bottle goes a long way due to the little amount necessary to be effective!
We also carry a full line of copper sulfate granular products. Copper sulfate is a preferred and effective method of algae control for many of our customers. It is usually cast out on top of thick floating algae mats to break up and kill the thick mats.
For a non-copper-based algae treatment, Green X is a new peroxide-based application that is excellent for algae control with results visible within 48 hours. It is completely safe for sensitive fish like Koi, goldfish, and trout and is effective on smaller decorative ponds, as well as larger recreation ponds. Our customers have shared with us that it has been very effective for algae control.
We are by no means experts in pond maintenance, but we do receive questions from our customers about maintaining their ponds. We make it a point each year to have representatives from Sanco Industries and Pond Champs share product information, applications and trends with us so that we can best help our customers with their pond needs. When we don’t know, we simply make contact with the experts that do know so we can get you the information you need to maintain that healthy and beautiful pond!
“Everyone should have a reverse osmosis in their home” are frequent words my Water Quality Association Instructor announces nearly every time he discusses membrane technology in one of the courses that I am taking. Afterall, there are certainly many benefits of a reverse osmosis drinking water system for the home.
A residential reverse osmosis drinking water system offers purified drinking water on demand and is most commonly installed at a kitchen sink and/or refrigerator. They can also be installed to feed other desired locations such as bar sinks and pot fillers. It is often used as a primary source of drinking water, for cooking, and even cleaning. This system is efficient and effective in providing safe, clean, and crystal-clear water. The system can reduce up to 99% of contaminants in your water and offers that extra layer of protection for homes and businesses.
Our technicians install a five-stage filtration system that connects to a separate faucet at your kitchen sink and/or to your refrigerator. We install the units in basements or garages to save valuable storage space underneath the kitchen sink when available, but we will also install it under the sink when that is the best option. The system also includes a holding tank, and oftentimes a booster pump that assists productivity in some situations.
Having clean, safe drinking water on demand at your tap carries many benefits. Water quality has never been more important to consumers as we have become more aware of what is in our water. Many customers report to us that they do not drink their water from their tap. There are many reasons for this, whether someone is using city water, well water, or pond water as their primary drinking water source.
Many do not like the taste or smell of their water, and some are simply concerned from a health standpoint regarding contaminants in their water source. The taste of water is subjective, so to say that a reverse osmosis system is going to improve the taste of someone’s water is not something we guarantee because everyone has a different opinion. But in many cases reducing the taste of chlorine from city water, or the salts and other contaminants from well water will significantly improve taste. The ultimate benefit of the reverse osmosis is the reduction of contaminants in the water which provides peace of mind for customers.
The maintenance on the reverse osmosis is usually very minimal. Generally speaking, we suggest changing the filters once per year. For high volume water users, or low-quality water, filter changes may need to be more frequent. The membrane tends to have a long life and will need to be changed less frequently. We recommend testing the water to understand the efficiency of the membrane. Our technicians will come out and service the reverse osmosis and change filters for our customers. We also carry the filters and parts at our store for our do-it-yourself customers.
Reverse osmosis drinking water systems offer a long-term solution to having quality water on-demand. Our customers appreciate being able to drink their water again and not having to rely on purchasing cases of bottled water, or 5-gallon jugs of water.
Here at Aquatek Water Conditioning, we believe in educating and helping our customers take control of their water. To learn more about our Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System options, send us a message here or give us a call at 419-335-8831.
