Windsor-Essex County — home to the largest concentration of greenhouse agriculture in North America — depends on reliable, high-volume water treatment. Hard, untreated well water damages drip irrigation lines, clogs nozzles and emitters, scales boilers and heating systems, and shortens the life of pumps and valves. Windsor Pure & Clean, an authorized KineticoPRO commercial dealer, designs and installs high-capacity water softening and filtration systems built for the demands of greenhouse operations, farms, livestock facilities and agri-businesses across Leamington, Kingsville, Essex, Chatham-Kent and the wider Windsor-Essex region.
Commercial & Agricultural Water Softeners
Serving Windsor-Essex & Leamington's Farms, Greenhouses & Agri-Business
Why Farms & Greenhouses Choose Commercial Water Softening
Protect Irrigation Systems
Scale buildup from hard water clogs drip lines, emitters and nozzles, reducing irrigation uniformity and forcing costly system flushes and part replacements.
Protect Boilers & Heating Systems
Greenhouse boilers and heating systems lose efficiency — and burn more fuel — when scale insulates heat exchangers. Softened water keeps systems running efficiently and lowers energy costs.
Extend Equipment Life
Pumps, valves, misting systems and washdown equipment all last longer and require less maintenance when scale and sediment are removed before they cause damage.
Consistent Water Quality for Production
From crop irrigation to livestock watering and washdown, consistent, treated water helps protect yield, animal health and product quality across your operation.
KineticoPRO Commercial Water Softeners
Sized to match your property’s flow demands, from a single greenhouse bay to a multi-acre operation.
Moderate Flow Softeners
Ideal for smaller greenhouse bays, farm outbuildings and lower-volume commercial sites that still need dependable, continuous soft water.
Medium-High Flow Softeners
Built for larger greenhouse ranges, packing operations and farms with higher daily water demand, without sacrificing consistent output.
Point-of-Entry Softeners
Whole-property treatment at the main water line — protecting every downstream system, from boilers to washdown stations, from a single point. KineticoPRO’s Hydrus Series is available in Simplex, Duplex and Triplex configurations, so larger farms and greenhouse ranges can maintain a continuous, uninterrupted supply of soft water even while a tank regenerates. Hydrus valves are WQA-tested and certified to NSF/ANSI 61 for drinking water system components.
Every system is paired with well water testing to identify iron, sulfur, sediment and hardness levels common in Windsor-Essex groundwater, so your treatment is sized correctly from day one.
Why Kinetico for Commercial & Agricultural Water
KineticoPRO Hydrus systems are built specifically for demanding, high-volume operations — and the technology behind them is engineered to save money as well as protect equipment.
Up to 40% Less Salt. Up to 30% Less Wastewater.
Hydrus systems use countercurrent regeneration — the most efficient regeneration method available — which can reduce salt usage by up to 40% and wastewater by up to 30% compared to conventional commercial softeners. For a farm or greenhouse running softening year-round, that adds up to real, ongoing savings on salt deliveries and water/sewer costs.
Regenerates on Demand, Not on a Timer
Metered regeneration is triggered by actual water usage, not a fixed clock. Your system only regenerates when it needs to — eliminating the wasted salt and water of timer-based competitors that regenerate on a schedule whether it’s needed or not.
Non-Electric, Built to Last
Hydrus valves operate hydraulically, with no motors or circuit boards to fail. Corrosion-resistant valves and tanks are engineered to endure harsh farm and greenhouse environments, keeping downtime — and service calls — to a minimum.
Never Runs Out of Soft Water
Duplex and Triplex configurations keep one tank in service while another regenerates, so your operation always has a continuous, uninterrupted supply of soft water — even during peak demand.
Scales With Your Operation
From a single Simplex tank for a small outbuilding to Duplex, Triplex and Multiplex systems flowing over 200 US gpm, Hydrus scales from one greenhouse bay to a multi-acre operation — and can be combined with Hydrus filtration on the same smart controller.
Certified Performance
Hydrus valves are tested and certified by the Water Quality Association against NSF/ANSI 61 for drinking water system components, so you can trust the water reaching every part of your operation.

Ice Machines: Deliver Crystal-Clear Ice That Tastes as Good as the Drink
In the United States, ice is used frequently in fountain beverages, bar service, iced brewed beverages and specialty drinks. Because of that, the quality of the ice is just as important as the beverage it keeps cold. When unfiltered or poor-quality water is used to make ice, it can leave the ice looking cloudy or with an off-taste or odor. Ice machines come in a variety of sizes and styles–all requiring different forms of water treatments–so it’s important to determine which KineticoPRO solution is right for your business.
