Welcome to Pace Solutions

VISION: Efficiently using water, conserving energy, and controlling disease for a better planet.

MISSION: We are committed to elevating the experiences of our customers by consistently delivering more than what is expected, while nurturing a culture of growth and collaboration that empowers our team members to achieve their full potential.

At Pace Solutions, we partner with our customers to deliver reliable and effective solutions across Canada. Based upon our recent 2025 analysis, we are proud to maintain a 95.6% Customer Retention Rate year over year – a testament to the trust our clients place in us. With 10 offices and 7 warehouses strategically located from British Columbia to Quebec, we ensure expert local service tailored to diverse water treatment needs. In some regions, scale prevention is essential, while in softer water areas, corrosion prevention is critical. That’s why Pace has developed innovative, proven formulations for cooling towers, steam boilers, and closed-loop heating and chilled systems. Contact your local Pace Technical Representative to develop a treatment program tailored to your needs.

With over 40 years in business, Pace Solutions has evolved beyond traditional water treatment into a trusted water and energy conservation specialist. We partner with our clients to optimize system performance, reduce water consumption, and lower energy costs. Innovative solutions like the Pace RemoteLink™ System (2-way remote access) and energy saving additives EndoTherm and EndoGreen help combat rising energy expenses and significantly reduce building CO2 emissions, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and efficiency.

Through our Plant Health Division, Pace offers a comprehensive line of CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) and PRMA (Pest Management Regulatory Agency) registered industrial cleaning and disinfecting products designed for food plants and greenhouses. Our Pace ACBD System® (Always Clean Before Disinfecting) helps businesses meet HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and Food Safety standards, ensuring compliance in bakeries, greenhouses, medicinal growing facilities, and other high-demand environments.

At Pace Solutions, we believe that consistently meeting our customers’ needs with responsive, high-quality service is the key to lasting partnerships.
