Trusted Brands. Proven Performance.
Water and wastewater treatment supplies include corrosion-resistant hoses, fittings, pneumatic components, pumps, and hydraulic lines used in municipal plants and lift stations. Common applications include chemical transfer, pneumatic plug and butterfly valves, wet wells, screens, grit systems, press drives, and temporary bypass or dewatering work.
Nitro Industrial stocks these water and wastewater treatment supplies at two Ontario locations in Concord and Barrie, and builds hose assemblies in house rather than only selling replacements. Most operators come to us with an asset list or a failed assembly in hand.
A treatment plant cannot pause. Flow keeps arriving whether or not the press is running or the dosing pump has a line, so a failed hose becomes a compliance question quickly. Nitro builds and repairs hydraulic and pneumatic hose assemblies in house and can usually turn a standard assembly around the same day. Bring the failed hose to the counter with both ends attached, or use mobile crimping so we build the lines at your plant.
We also build custom power units and complete hydraulic systems for screen drives, gate actuators and press circuits, and we can set up a Gates crimper program so your millwrights can make up standard lengths in house. We hold the water and wastewater treatment supplies behind that program on the shelf.
For procurement, stock depth and single-source supply matter as much as price. Nitro is Gates‘ largest independent distributor of industrial and hydraulic hoses in Canada, so the water and wastewater treatment supplies you reorder most are on the shelf.
You can put hose, fittings and adaptors, pneumatics, water pumps, cold water pressure washers, health and safety gear and general industrial supplies on one purchase order. Pick up in Concord at 8520 Jane St or Barrie at 740 Huronia Rd, or ship anywhere in Canada. Open terms through the credit application and contact the team when you need help matching a chemical to a hose.
Municipal crews who also handle solids and haulage can see our waste management supplies page, and the full list is on the industries index.
If you run more than one plant or a string of lift stations, send the asset list and we will build the spares list against it. Most operators find eight or nine assemblies cover the equipment that actually threatens a permit limit. We keep the agreed water and wastewater treatment supplies list on file with chemical, tube compound, ID and end connection on every line, so a reorder is a part number instead of another compatibility check.
Common questions we hear from teams in this sector, from choosing the right components to same-day repairs when a machine is down.
Hypochlorite wants an EPDM or PTFE lined tube and non-metallic wetted parts in most plant specifications, because chlorides attack stainless over time. Use an opaque hose so sunlight does not degrade the product, and route the line so it can vent and be flushed, since hypochlorite off-gasses and can build pressure in a dead-headed run. Send us the concentration and temperature and we will list the water and wastewater treatment supplies that line needs, down to the clamps.
Ferric chloride attacks 304 and 316 stainless, so stainless is not a safe default on that service even though it works elsewhere in the plant. Most plants specify plastic or lined wetted parts for ferric instead. Check the chemical supplier’s data and your own specification before ordering, and be aware that ferric staining spreads and can hide the real leak point during troubleshooting.
Hydrogen sulphide in headworks air is doing it. H2S plus humidity strips zinc and yellow plating off carbon steel fittings and attacks copper and brass on control lines. Switch the exposed fittings to 316 stainless, keep brass and copper out of that air entirely, and use hose with a cover suited to chemical and ozone exposure. Stainless fittings and chemical rated hose are the water and wastewater treatment supplies worth paying for here.
Start with air quality. Wet or dirty instrument air is the most common cause, and it also freezes in outdoor tubing through an Ontario winter. Check the filter, regulator and dryer, then confirm the tubing is large enough for the actuator to stroke in its rated time. After that, look at the solenoid pilot and the position switches. Replacing an actuator before checking air quality usually just repeats the failure.
Size the pump to the peak flow and total head, not the average, and pick something that passes solids without plugging, which usually means a trash pump or a suitable submersible. Then match suction hose with a helix so it does not collapse, discharge hose rated for the pressure, and cam and groove or flanged ends. Plan the confined space entry and gas detection first. Tell us the station and we will pull the water and wastewater treatment supplies for the bypass.
A trash pump sits on the surface, self primes, and is easy to service or move between sites, which suits temporary bypass and dewatering. A submersible goes in the wet well, handles higher suction lift because it is already down there, and runs quietly. If the water is deep, in a confined space, or the site needs it left in place, go submersible. If you need it portable and serviceable, go trash pump.
Yes. We build hydraulic, pneumatic and industrial hose assemblies. For chemical service, tell us the chemical, the concentration, the temperature, the pressure and the end connections you need, and we will match a tube compound and fitting material against the manufacturer’s compatibility data. Chemical hose sits on the same water and wastewater treatment supplies order as your hydraulic spares.
Standard hydraulic and pneumatic assemblies are usually same-day when the hose and fittings are in stock, which covers most common sizes and pressure classes. Bring the failed hose with both fittings attached so we can read the layline and match the ends. Chemical hose and specialty builds can take longer depending on the material, and we will tell you the timeline up front.
Yes. Fill out the credit application on our site and we will set your account up. That lets purchasing consolidate hose, fittings, pneumatics, pumps, pressure washers and safety supplies onto a single purchase order and one monthly invoice, which is simpler to reconcile against a tendered contract than paying four suppliers for the same shutdown. One account also covers the water and wastewater treatment supplies your safety program buys.
Flow keeps arriving whether or not the press is running, so a plant failure becomes a compliance question fast. Most of what goes wrong here is slow: plating coming off a fitting in headworks air, a dosing line that cannot be flushed, moisture sitting in the instrument air.
These checks catch it while it is still maintenance, and they tell you which water and wastewater treatment supplies to stage before the next shutdown.
