In 1971, Ron Saunders started his career working for Culligans. His forward vision to see the importance and demand for water treatment led him to create and open Ottawa Valley Salt Service to meet the needs of customers like you. Our yellow van became our signature mark.

Ron’s son Jeff took over the company in 1996. Jeff has been at the business forefront for over 25 years providing advice and service to hundreds of clients over the greater Ottawa valley.

To better represent the exploding market for treating water issues, we changed our name to The Water Purifiner Inc. in 2003 for the community and you to better understand our expertise.

Jeff’s dedication to the business has placed him in a position to assess, advise, and provide solutions to the complicated water issues you face. His years of working with industry professionals has created a reliable and trustworthy reputation as the person who will tend to your water needs at a fair and honest cost.

Ron and his wife, Isobel, remained as advisors until Ron’s passing in the summer of 2022. His passion for providing excellent service and living up to the slogan “we care about you” has continued with Jeff.

Our strong referral ratio shows the community’s trust in us as a respected family business for over 50 years.
