  • GWT provides us with reliable & dependable monthly service. After choosing Global a year ago, our HW/CW chemical readings have been the most consistent out of the last 3 water treaters. GWT is in my budget and are very nice people to work with.

    Jim Facility Director of Engineering at a North Chicago Hospital

  • I have been a Global customer for many years. When the warranty period expired on our new office building I sought out water treatment companies to service the equipment. Global’s pricing, products, and service have kept me a customer since. As for performance, our cooling towers and chillers’ tubes look like new and have had no corrosion or scale issues.

    Pat Chief Engineer, Downtown Commercial Office Building

  • GWT is all about customer service, if we have any issues with one of many different water loops throughout the building we call our service technician and he is there to assist.  The chemical treatment portion of our annual HVAC budget can be costly. GWT works within our budget parameters and designed a cost effective program tailored for our building.
