Here’s What Our Customers Are Saying

  • I passed my water Distribution 2 Exam on the first try!!

    When I was new to the water industry I had a lot to learn. Starting in an office management position, I soon had the opportunity to take on field work to train for an assistant GM position. In order to do this, I had to become certified, with D2 and T2 certifications. For someone who has always worked in the office, this was no easy task. Absolution Water's resources and programs were instrumental in helping me to learn, understand, and ultimately be successful in my pursuit. I passed my water Distribution 2 Exam on the first try!! I wouldn’t have without the help of Absolution Water. I will never forget how helpful, responsive, and caring Absolution Water was when it came to providing support to me and I’m sure they are providing the same to all those in the next generation of water industry leaders.

    ~ Amy Joy, Ojai

  • I would highly recommend their services compared to larger training programs due to their quick and personalized service, providing an efficient and relevant way to complete contact hours.

    I inquired to Absolution Water about the availability of training videos to earn my continuing education credits for water distribution, which were needed in a very timely manner.

    The videos were very well done, especially Julio’s drawing out of the math questions to make them more easily understandable! Amy’s sections on rules, regulations, the history of water quality and treatment, definitions, of types and environmental factors influencing the many sources was very complete and to the point. I’d rather complete the CEC’s this way in the future than going to in person conferences that take time, travel, and aren’t always applicable to your specific needs.

    ~ Michael Clark, Montecito, CA

  • The Absolution team is very patient and takes the time with each student to ensure success.

    When searching around for educators that teach remotely or come to your facility, Absolution seemed to be the best fit for us. Not only are they very knowledgeable, accommodating, and friendly but they offer a very fair price compared to others in the industry. They also offer packages and will negotiate a fair price for your water department. Absolution fit us best because after working long days, the crews do not have a lot of time to clean up, eat dinner and get to school. With the Absolution team coming to our facility, it made it so much easier on our staff to not rush and be able to focus on learning. The Absolution team is very patient and takes the time with each student to ensure success.

    ~ Matt, Downey, CA

We Know Water

With the climate change and drought upon us, the groundwater below is significantly affected. Groundwater quality changes and this can affect how you run your well.  Do you need new strategies for groundwater treatment or chemical doses?  Let us work with you on your next steps.

GROUND WATER TREATMENT

Today, there are over 200 regulated constituents for drinking water. Tracking them can be difficult, tedious, and time-consuming. Have a result that seems odd, or worse, over the maximum contaminant level? We can point you in the direction you need to go.

WATER QUALITY

The world of water treatment is ever-changing, and as technology changes, so does the way you do business. Surface water treatment is complex, let us help you simplify. Trying to become certified as a treatment operator or pass that next treatment exam? Let us guide you through the materials and the process..

SURFACE WATER TREATMENT

It takes a special kind of person to revel in the joy of demystifying water law. The rules governing water water systems ensuring they serve safe potable drinking water can be open for interpretation. We are here to help you through deciphering your way.

DRINKING WATER RESOLUTIONS

Distribution operations can always be fine-tuned. There can be creative ways to move water, minimize detention times, deal with the formation of disinfection by-products, or reduce precursors to nitrification.  Want to move up in your distribution operator certification? Let us help you get there.

DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
