Who is Gary the Water Guy?
Hi, I”m Gary Beutler, also known as Gary the Water Guy and I own The Water Store in Midland, Ontario. I love my job because I get to help families that have concerns about the taste, smell, staining or discolouration caused by their water. I help folks primarily in Barrie, Midland, Penetang and the Southern Georgian Bay areas.
I have owned The Water Store in Midland since it opened in January 2003 and I”m experienced in all aspects of water treatment. We are members of the Water Quality Association (WQA) and I have earned the Certified Water Specialist (CWS-I) and Certified Installer (CI) designations from that Association. There are only about 70 water treatment professionals in all of Canada that have earned these designations.
I love to meet with potential clients to discuss their concerns, which is why I offer a FREE in home water analysis where I come out to your home or cottage and we discuss your concerns, I test your water and do a plumbing assessment. Then I explain what is required to fix the problem, how the suggested remedy works and any on going maintenance. We then discuss the investment required and I put it all in writing. The rest is up to you!
Depending on your concerns I may recommend a Water Softener, Iron or Sulphur filter, Ultra Violet Disinfections System, Tannin Filter or Reverse Osmosis Drinking Water System.
My formal education is in engineering (so I fully understand the technical side of water treatment equipment) and business. My background prior to the Water Treatment Industry is in the food business. I have worked in senior management positions at companies like Loblaws but have been self employed for the last 25 years. I know the value of every family we serve and work hard to ensure I give great service so they keep coming back and refer their friends and family.
The best part of my job occurs after we have completed an installation for a family. I wait a couple of months to call back to make sure everything is okay and hearing that same comment from so many families “yes, everything is great, we should have done this a long time ago!” That is the greatest reward for me.
