Water Equipment
& Aquatic Systems Experts
We provide the equipment, knowledge and technical support our customers need at every stage.
SIVAT supplies water equipment and supports the teams that bid, procure, install, commission, own and operate complex aquatic systems.
As demand for aquatic life support systems (LSS), commercial water features, and attractions grows, general contractors, mechanical contractors, plumbing contractors, and specialty contractors are increasingly being asked to take on projects with specialized requirements outside their typical trades. SIVAT fills that gap with the technical expertise, equipment knowledge, manufacturer relationships, and project support needed to understand the scope, bid accurately, source the right equipment, and execute with confidence.
Where SIVAT works
Similar equipment can serve very different purposes depending on the project. SIVAT knows how the requirements shift from one aquatic environment to the next, and we apply that when helping customers select and procure the right equipment for the job.
Zoos & Aquariums
Exhibit life support, quarantine and holding, across marine and freshwater habitats.
Aquaculture & Fisheries
Recirculating systems, hatcheries and research facilities, where water quality limits production.
Water Parks
Regulatory code-driven turnover, filtration and treatment for commercial aquatic attractions.
Surf Parks
Large-volume circulation and filtration for wave lagoons, at a scale where equipment selection carries real cost.
Water Features & Fountains
Commercial and institutional features, judged largely on appearance.
Lakes, Ponds & Lagoons
Aeration, circulation and water quality for large water bodies that are managed rather than filtered.
Hydroponics & Aquaponics
Circulation, filtration and oxygenation for integrated growing systems.
Resorts & Hospitality
Pools, lagoons, fountains, water features, display aquaria, and guest-facing aquatic systems coordinated for resort and hospitality properties.
Commercial and Retail
Lobby aquaria, atrium features, restaurant tanks, shopping-center water features, and other public-facing systems that support customer experience and building operations.
Private Estates
Residential aquaria, koi ponds, ornamental lakes, estate fountains, lagoons, and water features specified to operate reliably without a dedicated facilities team.
From bid documents to a running system
Send us the scope
RFPs, plans, specifications, equipment schedules, or a single piece of equipment are enough for us to get started.
We review it
We identify the required equipment, obtain pricing through our manufacturer and distribution relationships, and flag scope gaps or conflicts that may warrant a Request for Information (RFI).
We quote the package
We coordinate the package across manufacturers and price it through direct purchasing and distributor relationships.
You execute with confidence
Lead times are checked and the scope is defined. We flag material uncertainties before the number goes into the bid.
We support the job
We support submittals, procurement, installation review, start-up, commissioning, and owner training as the project requires.
Ongoing services
We also provide longer-term repair and maintenance engagements after a project is open and operating.
Greater accuracy leads to better project outcomes
This equipment has to be right. Water quality, filtration, circulation, disinfection, and temperature control can directly affect animal health, public safety, operating performance, and the reputation of everyone involved in the project.
Pricing it without a SIVAT specialist
- Mismatched selectionsQuotes assembled from incomplete or mismatched equipment.
- Priced, not reviewedEquipment costed against the schedule rather than reviewed as part of the complete system.
- Scope gapsGaps and non-compliance can disqualify a proposal.
- Late lead timesIdentified too late to protect the project schedule.
- No single ownerNo one resource coordinating addenda and changes to the scope of work.
Pricing it with SIVAT
- One point of contactA complete package coordinated across multiple manufacturers.
- Reviewed as a systemEquipment checked against system performance requirements, not just the schedule.
- Field experienceDecades of hands-on project and operating work behind the selections.
- Lead times checkedVerified before the number goes into the bid.
- Direct pricingPurchased through direct manufacturer and distributor relationships.
- Same team throughoutContinuity from submittals through delivery and start-up.
Where SIVAT sits on a project
Design intent moves from the owner and engineer toward the construction team. Equipment information, pricing, and procurement move back through that chain. SIVAT sits at the point where those two meet, translating project requirements into a coordinated, commercially sound equipment package.

Direct answers
What is an aquatic life support system?
An aquatic life support system, or LSS, is the mechanical and treatment system that maintains the water quality required for an aquatic environment. Depending on the application, water may pass through circulation pumps, mechanical and biological filtration, disinfection such as UV or ozone, temperature control, aeration or oxygenation, and other treatment processes before returning to the habitat or water body.
What does SIVAT Water Solutions do?
SIVAT Water Solutions is a specialty water equipment and aquatic systems distributor and project-services partner. We review plans, specifications, and equipment schedules to identify what the system requires; price and procure equipment through direct manufacturer and distributor relationships; coordinate delivery; and support the project through submittals, installation, start-up, and turnover. We work with owners, operators, developers, engineers, architects, construction managers, general contractors, mechanical contractors, plumbing contractors, and specialty aquatic subcontractors.
How does SIVAT help contractors bid projects?
We review the bid documents to identify what the aquatic system actually requires and where the documents leave gaps or conflicts. That helps contractors avoid two common problems: missing equipment or scope, and unnecessary contingency added because the requirements might not have been clear.
What equipment does SIVAT supply?
Pumps, filtration, UV sterilizers, UV lamps and consumables, ozone systems, fractionators, degas towers, heating and cooling, blowers and aeration, tanks, FRP fabrications, skid-mounted systems, valves, basket strainers, instrumentation and controls.
Does SIVAT work nationally and internationally?
SIVAT has worked on aquatic projects across the U.S. and 16 countries, including Canada, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Asia.
Is SIVAT an engineering firm?
No. SIVAT supplies equipment and provides technical, estimating, constructability, procurement, and project support. Our team has longstanding relationships with engineering firms and other specialists active in the aquatic industry and works alongside them throughout the project. SIVAT does not provide licensed professional engineering services and is not the engineer of record.
Is SIVAT a contractor?
No. SIVAT is not a contractor. We partner with general, mechanical, plumbing, and specialty contractors to help them better understand the scope, bid projects more accurately, source the full equipment package at competitive distributor pricing, and provide technical support through installation and start-up.
Is SIVAT a manufacturer?
No. SIVAT is not a manufacturer. We work with leading equipment manufacturers and suppliers across the industry, using our distributor relationships and purchasing discounts to source equipment for aquatic projects nationwide, individually or as coordinated packages. We also help manufacturers expand visibility and reach within the aquatics market by connecting their products to qualified opportunities and ultimately into purchase orders.
How early can SIVAT get involved in a project?
At any stage, but the earlier the better. Engineers and owners come to us during design for equipment selection input, footprint and access requirements, and budget pricing to test a concept before it is drawn. Contractors come to us at bid, when the drawings and specifications are set. Getting the equipment right on paper costs far less than correcting it after award and we are happy to help as early as possible.
Have an aquatic project to price?
Send us the plans, specifications, or equipment list. An experienced aquatic equipment specialist will review the project requirements, identify the system needs, and provide clear, competitive pricing.
