Who We Are
ATEC Water Systems, LLC is a leading producer of specialized water filtration solutions for contaminated groundwater sources. Our filtration solutions are affordable, highly scalable, and easy to maintain, making them practical for a variety of applications from small, underserved communities to large municipalities. ATEC’s filters have been installed at over 450 locations, including community, municipal, agricultural, and industrial sites and used to successfully reduce and remove iron, manganese, arsenic, chromium-6 and other constituents of concern, solving some of the toughest groundwater treatment challenges.
Pioneering Groundwater Treatment Solutions
The first municipal removal system using dioxide media to remove iron and manganese
The first U.S. installation for arsenic removal using granular ferric hydroxide
The leading high-rate biological ammonia removal process in the U.S.

Groundwater Contamination Crisis
Addressing our growing water treatment challenge
California
- 1 million Californians face long-term health risks because they lack safe drinking water
- 84% of those at risk are from socioeconomically disadvantaged communities
- Of 7,400 public water systems, more than 3,000 have two or more water-quality violations
U.S. / World
- Some 22% of groundwater wells nationwide contained at least one contaminant at a level high enough to pose health risks, according to U.S. Geological Survey research
- Groundwater provides one-third of the world’s drinking water, and contamination is growing, with life-threatening substances more widespread than previously known
