For breweries · California

Water treatment built for the way you brew.

End the off-flavors, hit your water profile every batch, and keep your wastewater inside permit. We handle the dechlorination, the profile control, and the effluent — so you can focus on the beer.

Sound familiar?

The water problems breweries actually have.

If any of these are costing you flavor, consistency, or money, they're fixable — usually with a step or two you don't have to own.

Medicinal, “band-aid” off-flavors you can't trace back to a recipe.
Beer that drifts batch to batch as your source water shifts.
Tap water that won't make the styles you want to brew.
Scale building up on your HLT, boiler, and heat exchangers.
Sewer bills creeping up with BOD and TSS surcharges.
A pH or discharge limit you're not certain you're meeting.
What we do for breweries

From the city main to compliant discharge.

The full path your water takes — cleaned up coming in, dialed to spec for the brewhouse, and handled responsibly on the way out.

Dechlorination

Kill the off-flavors

Catalytic carbon, sized to your flow, strips chlorine and chloramine before they reach the brewhouse — so chlorophenol “band-aid” notes never form. The single highest-impact fix for most breweries on city water.

Profile control

A blank slate you can build on

Softening, dealkalization, RO, and demineralization give you predictable water every batch — so your gypsum and calcium-chloride additions land the same profile every time, not a moving target.

Scale protection

Protect the hot side

Hardness control keeps scale off your HLT, boiler, heat exchangers, and plate chillers — lower energy bills, fewer breakdowns, and gear that lasts longer.

Wastewater & compliance

Stop overpaying the sewer

pH neutralization, solids and FOG removal, and surcharge reduction keep your high-strength effluent inside permit — and off your bottom line. We handle the documentation, too.

How it works

Source to spec, then safely out.

We start by testing your actual water, then size only the steps you need.

01

Test

We profile your source water against the styles you brew.

02

Dechlorinate

Carbon removes chlorine and chloramine at the front end.

03

Profile

Soften, dealkalize, or RO to a predictable baseline.

04

Brew

You add salts to a known starting point — repeatably.

On the back end, we handle the other loop too — CIP and process effluent neutralized, screened, and brought inside your discharge limits before it leaves the building.

Why WaterX

Two ways to work with us.

Run it as a service and we own and maintain everything — or have us engineer and build a system you own outright. Same engineering either way; you pick the model that fits your balance sheet.

Serviced — no capital outlay; we maintain it, regenerate the media, and keep the paperwork
Purchased — we design and build the system for you to own and run in-house
Sized for any brewery, from a two-barrel nano to a production line
California-based — local, responsive, on a schedule you set

Let's dial in your water.

Send your source water and the styles you brew. We'll map the dechlorination, profile, and wastewater steps that fit — at no cost and no obligation.
