The company designs and builds a proprietary product stack spanning controllers (the MegaTron family including MT, XT, XK, XS, and MR for reverse osmosis, plus the NANOXL, Nanotron, WEBX, LIFTX, and WATRX lines), chemical metering pumps (MicroLinx Series L/M/N and MicroTron Series B), specialty sensors (conductivity, pH, ORP, temperature, flow, turbidity, corrosion), and prefabricated monitoring skids — all backed by US-based engineering, manufacturing, and technical support. Its digital layer includes the free WebAdvantage cloud monitoring service for internet-connected MegaTron controllers, the MyTechReports SaaS reporting platform, the System Builder configuration tool, and the Air Advantage iOS mobile application, with BACnet and Modbus integration for BMS/DCIM connectivity.

The company operates a B2B industrial go-to-market: quote-based custom pricing for enterprise and mid-market projects, complemented by authorized e-commerce distribution through WaterPartsPlus for smaller buyers. A regional sales representative network covers the USA and Canada, supplemented by industry association memberships (AWT, WQA, ORWA). Served verticals include industrial water treatment, commercial HVAC (cooling towers and boilers), reverse osmosis, wastewater treatment, data center cooling, oil & gas, and agriculture.
