Water Matrix is not limited to proprietary products. We work with universities and colleges to source and install a wide range of approved brands and fixtures. Whether you have specific standards or preferred manufacturers, we can accommodate your institution’s requirements while still delivering water savings.

Post Secondary Water Conservation Process

  • 1. Pre-Audit

    We’ll review information supplied as it relates to your facility: water consumption data (domestic and non-domestic), population, demographics, building age, and square footage. This information will be used to identify if your site has an opportunity for savings that meets your criteria. We’ll also estimate the overall size and scope of your project.

  • 2. On-Site Audit

    We’ll then proceed with a detailed on-site inspection. Key to this review is establishing the ratio of domestic versus non-domestic water consumption. The inspection includes a complete and thorough review of the facility, and we record the flow measurements of all water-consuming fixtures.

  • 3. Analysis

    Using our proprietary computer analysis, we enter the collected data along with other key information about your facility - water and sewer charges, population stats, operational hours and days per year - to develop an accurate portrayal of your facility’s consumption patterns. You’ll then receive our proposal identifying the recommended new equipment to be installed, the total cost of the installation, the projected cost avoidance, and expected payback.

  • 4. Implementation

    We choose professional installers from our national network and we’ll ensure every new fixture performs efficiently and effectively to maximize your savings. We give every project our personal attention to detail, using only quality materials, and our total commitment to customer satisfaction.

  • 5. Monitoring

    Water Matrix™ can provide water consumption monitoring, should it be necessary. Pre and post water consumption data are analyzed and the information is translated into a comprehensive savings report.

  • 6. Measurement & Verification

    Water Matrix will commission a project once all measures have been implemented and provide you with a detailed report showcasing every fixture that was installed and their water consumption values.

Kind Words

“To Whom It May Concern,

We have completed three plumbing-related projects with Water Matrix Inc., replacing aged fixtures with low flow toilets, and installing aerators on bathroom & kitchen faucets to reduce water consumption in UofT Scarborough townhouse units. Their sales and project management team are professional, innovative and committed to meeting our objectives in Residence.

During each project, the installation was efficient, with over 25 bathrooms completed per day. Their field crew were respectful and responsive, providing updates throughout the day. Workmanship was solid, deficiencies were reported promptly, and there were no surprises.

Water Matrix's low-flow toilets have a strong flush, reducing toilet clogs by 45%at our property. And their innovative design has given us proven water savings, contributing to our department’s goal of promoting sustainable practices.

We look forward to working with Water Matrix in future projects.
