Industrial Water Treatment
for Ohio Facilities.
Boiler and cooling tower programs, closed-loop and wastewater treatment, high-purity water, and SOLIDified solid chemistry. Engineered and serviced by a chemical engineer who still shows up to the job site. Our standard on every account: Professional Service, Quality, and Value.
Untreated Water Destroys Industrial Equipment
Ohio's commercial water runs 15–25 grains per gallon, squarely in the "Very Hard" category. Without proper pretreatment, every system in your facility is compromised.
-
Boiler & Cooling Tower Scale
Mineral buildup reduces heat transfer efficiency, increases fuel consumption, and accelerates tube failure in critical systems.
-
Unplanned Downtime & Repair Costs
Scaled heating elements, fouled membranes, and corroded piping lead to emergency shutdowns and six-figure repair bills.
-
Process & Product Quality Failures
Hard water compromises manufacturing consistency, food processing compliance, and product quality standards.
-
Energy Waste & Regulatory Risk
Scaled systems consume up to 29% more energy. Untreated hard water drives up energy costs and accelerates equipment failure across your facility.
Not sure what your water is costing you?
We'll come to your facility, test your water, and tell you exactly what's happening, at no charge.
What Untreated Water Costs Your Plant
Every boiler, cooling tower, and closed loop in your facility is under constant attack from scale, corrosion, and biological growth. Left alone, the water quietly drives up energy bills, shortens equipment life, and triggers the failures that stop production.
A treatment program built around your actual water chemistry protects all of it, and pays for itself in fuel, repairs, and uptime.
Full-Scope Industrial Water Treatment
One engineer-led team for every loop in your facility: steam, cooling, process, and waste.
Boiler Treatment
Scale and corrosion control, deaerator and feedwater chemistry, blowdown control, and oxygen scavenging that keep steam systems efficient and online.
Learn More →
Cooling Tower Treatment
Scale, corrosion, and microbiological control for towers and condensers, with passivation and automated feed and monitoring.
Learn More →
Closed-Loop Treatment
Corrosion inhibitors and pH control for heating and chilled-water loops, including mixed-metallurgy systems.
Learn More →
Wastewater
Coagulation, clarification, and pH adjustment to keep discharge compliant and your operation out of trouble.
Learn More →
RO / DI & High-Purity
Reverse osmosis, deionization, and membrane programs for process and equipment that can't tolerate dissolved solids, with antiscalant and cleaning to protect the membranes.
Learn More →
Solid Chemistry (SOLIDified)
SOLIDified solid chemistry with AP Tech feeders delivers consistent treatment and ends hazardous liquid handling, drums, and spills.
Learn More →Engineer-Led. Field-Proven.
25+ years treating boilers, cooling towers, closed loops, and wastewater for Ohio facilities, led by a chemical engineer who still runs service calls.
Industrial DNA
Full-scope treatment for every loop in the plant: steam, cooling, closed-loop, process, and waste. We see how the whole system behaves, not one piece of it.
Engineer-Led
Our work is led by a chemical engineer. You get programs built on water chemistry and equipment behavior, not a sales target.
Solid Chemistry Advantage
We convert facilities to SOLIDified solid chemistry and AP Tech feeders: consistent dosing, no hazardous liquids, drums, or spill risk for your team.
Emergency Response
When a system goes down, you reach a person. Doug rolls out personally and gets you back in production fast.
From Assessment to Ongoing Performance
The same methodology on every program.
Site Assessment
On-site water analysis, flow measurement, and equipment survey by our engineering team.
System Engineering
Custom system design based on your facility's chemistry, demand profile, and application requirements.

Hospitality
Hotels, resorts, and conference centers: protect laundry, kitchen, and HVAC.
Healthcare
Sterilization, lab water, and critical equipment protection.
Data Centers
Precision cooling water treatment for mission-critical infrastructure.
Industrial Plants
Process water and boiler feed pretreatment for industrial operations.
Energy & Utilities
Boiler feed pretreatment and process water for energy generation and utility facilities.
25+ Years Treating Ohio's Toughest Water.
Doug Hoffman has spent more than 25 years in industrial water treatment across Ohio. A chemical engineer trained at the University of Cincinnati, he started in the field in 1998 and founded Hoffman Water LLC in 2018.
He still runs service calls, from boiler startups and condenser passivation to closed-loop pH and SOLIDified conversions. The team has grown (Scott Koehnke leads sales with 30+ years of his own), but the standard hasn't changed: understand the water, understand the equipment it feeds, and build a program that protects both.
