Phigenics is a water management company that partners with facility owners and suppliers to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and overall safety of all water systems. We help our clients remediate problems associated with waterborne pathogens, including Legionella. We specialize in bringing technical solutions and new innovations to the water industry.

Phigenics is not driven to provide a solution that is restricted to an internal product line. Our only bias is to provide solutions that help our clients achieve their strategic business objectives. We empower our clients to reduce water and energy expenses by facilitating the development of Water Management Programs. This results in more cost-effective and safer operations. Typically for our clients, water processing utility costs are reduced 5-20% and water safety is quantitatively improved.
