LiquiTech

What LiquiTech does

LiquiTech is a privately held US company, headquartered in Lombard, Illinois, that designs, installs, and services oxidant-free multi-barrier water treatment systems for building water systems, with a primary focus on controlling Legionella and other waterborne pathogens in healthcare, education, hospitality, commercial real estate, multi-family residential, senior living, and construction facilities. Its core technology stack combines five complementary products: copper-silver ionization (continuous residual disinfection), UV disinfection with a patented 360-degree reflective chamber, self-cleaning sediment filtration, cloud-connected smart sensors for temperature and flow monitoring with anomaly detection, and 0.2-micron point-of-use hollow fiber filters. The platform is EPA-registered in all 50 states, NSF/ANSI 61 certified, and supported by ASSE 12080-certified water safety specialists, with services mapped to ASHRAE 188, CMS, and Joint Commission compliance frameworks.

The company monetizes through a mix of one-time hardware sales with installation, recurring managed services (24/7 monitoring, quarterly water testing, scheduled maintenance, compliance documentation), emergency Legionella remediation with 48-hour deployment, and water testing and diagnostics. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting facility managers, infection preventionists, and building engineers, supported by content marketing (case studies, research library, webinars, industry-specific buyer guides) and specification channel integrations (MasterSpec, BIMobject). Internationally, LiquiTech reaches Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Europe, Canada, and the UAE through regional distribution partners. The company reports 30+ years of operation, 500+ customers, and 3,000+ installations, with documented outcomes including sustained non-detect Legionella results at named healthcare sites such as Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford and a Georgia Health System.

Core offering

LiquiTech designs, manufactures, sells, and services an oxidant-free, multi-barrier water treatment platform for building water systems. The company sells five proprietary hardware products (Copper-Silver Ionization, Sediment Filtration, UV Disinfection, Smart Sensors, and Point-of-Use Filters) and delivers supporting services including Legionella Remediation, Water Management Plans, Water Testing and Diagnostics, and an ongoing Service Program. Its solutions target facilities such as hospitals, universities, hotels, commercial properties, and multi-family buildings where they must control waterborne pathogens while avoiding the corrosion caused by chlorine-based treatments.

Product overview

LiquiTech offers a multi-barrier water treatment platform combining five oxidant-free technology products designed for building water systems. The core portfolio includes: Copper-Silver Ionization System (primary disinfection for long-term Legionella control), Sediment Filtration System (infrastructure protection and biofilm prevention), UV Disinfection System (entry-point pathogen inactivation), Smart Sensors (real-time monitoring and compliance automation), and Point-of-Use Filters (immediate protection at high-risk locations). These products work together as an integrated system: sediment filtration removes particles before they damage equipment or provide nutrients for bacteria; copper-silver ionization provides continuous residual disinfection throughout the distribution system; UV disinfection adds entry-point pathogen kill; smart sensors monitor conditions 24/7 and generate automated compliance reports; and point-of-use filters provide immediate physical barriers at vulnerable outlets. Supporting services include Legionella Remediation (emergency outbreak response), Water Management Plans (regulatory compliance development), Water Testing and Diagnostics (pathogen and water quality analysis), and a comprehensive Service Program (ongoing maintenance and monitoring).
