Prevent boiler scale, protect CIP systems, and meet sanitation rinse water requirements — with local DI tank exchange service and transparent pricing.

Even 1mm of scale increases fuel consumption by up to 7% and risks tube failure. DI or softened feed water eliminates this — protecting capital equipment and reducing energy costs.
Water softener service →Clean-in-place systems use a final water rinse to remove cleaning chemicals before the next production run. Tap water leaves mineral spots and residue that harbour bacteria and affect product quality. A DI final rinse ensures surfaces are genuinely clean and free of mineral contamination.
Calcium and magnesium in hard water react with chlorine-based and quaternary ammonium sanitizers, reducing their effective concentration. Mixing sanitizers with DI water maximizes their efficacy and reduces overuse — saving cost while improving sanitation outcomes.
Steam used for surface sanitization, cooking, and sterilization needs mineral-free water to prevent scale in steam lines and nozzles. For culinary steam (direct food contact), water quality must also meet food safety standards — DI water is the standard input for food-grade steam generators.
Breweries, beverage co-packers, and flavour houses require consistent, defined water chemistry as an ingredient. Starting from DI water and adding back minerals to a precise spec gives complete control over water profile — critical for consistency across batches and facilities.
Final rinse of bottles, containers, and packaging surfaces before filling benefits from DI water to prevent white mineral spots on product — especially important for clear containers or premium packaging where appearance matters.
Pre-filled DI tanks are delivered to your facility and connected to your water supply. No capital investment, no on-site regeneration chemicals, no hazardous waste. When exhausted, tanks are swapped — same-day service available in the GTA.
About the exchange service →All Eclipse tank regeneration happens in Ontario. No U.S. tariff exposure, no border delays, no currency risk. Stable Canadian-dollar pricing regardless of trade conditions.
Cost comparison: local vs. national →Flat per-swap or monthly rates. No fuel surcharges, no minimum usage penalties, no hidden freight fees. You know your water cost before the invoice arrives.
See pricing guide →Why do food processors need deionized water?
Minerals in tap water deposit as scale in boilers and heat exchangers, reduce the effectiveness of sanitizers, and leave residue on equipment surfaces. DI water eliminates all dissolved ions — preventing scale, extending equipment life, and improving sanitation outcomes.
Is DI water safe for food contact?
Yes — it contains no dissolved minerals or ions and is chemically neutral. It is widely used for equipment rinsing, CIP final rinse, and steam generation in food facilities. For ingredient water applications, confirm applicability with your quality team.
What is the right water purity for CIP rinsing?
For most CIP final rinse applications, 0.5–5 MegOhm is sufficient to prevent mineral spotting and residue. Higher-sensitivity applications may require 5–18 MegOhm. Eclipse will confirm the right target for your process during a site assessment.
How much does DI water service cost for a food facility?
Cost depends on water volume, feed TDS, and service frequency. Most small-to-medium food processors in Ontario pay $200–$600 per tank exchange. See the full pricing guide →
