What Aqua-Tech does

Aqua-Tech is a privately held Winnipeg, Manitoba-based retailer and service provider founded in 1977, selling hot tubs, swim spas, pools, saunas, cold plunges, massage chairs, and home renovation services to residential homeowners across Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario. The company's core product lineup centers on Sundance Spas hot tubs (with over 20 models across the 680, 780, and 880 series featuring patented Fluidix jets), PDC Spas swim spas, and custom fiberglass pool installations, complemented by True North Saunas, Kodiak Cold Plunge units, and ZA Massage Chairs in adjacent wellness categories. In February 2026 the company introduced ZetaMix for Pools, a proprietary Zeta Potential Mixer installed in pool plumbing that uses nano-bubble generation to clarify water with no moving parts and no operating costs — representing the company's first own-brand technology product.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer retail model anchored by a single physical showroom at 1065 Dugald Rd in Winnipeg, supplemented by an e-commerce storefront (shop.aqua-tech.ca), an online Build & Price configuration tool, and a dedicated online support portal (findmyanswers.ca). Aqua-Tech employs in-house certified technicians for delivery, installation, and ongoing maintenance, with the service department handling pool opening/closing, weekly maintenance, leak detection, heater service, green-to-clean treatment, and branded water care programs including TRIO, Mineraluxe, and BioGuard. Revenue is generated across five streams: high-ticket product sales (hardware), pool design and installation (hardware + services), home renovation services (professional services), recurring service and maintenance contracts, and consumable water care products with a water testing lab. The company has operated for 45+ years, holds A+ BBB accreditation, is a member of the Pool and Hot Tub Council of Canada, and cites 433 combined years of team experience as a key operational asset.
