Eco Solutions built the Liquid Network so contractors, municipalities, and property teams have one place for liquid supply, equipment, training, and support, whatever stage you’re at.
Savings aren’t just material cost. Factor in labor, repeat call-outs, and equipment wear and most operations see 20–30% off total winter budget, not just the price per litre.
Anti-ice vs. de-ice. Liquid goes down before a storm to stop ice from bonding to the surface in the first place. Salt is reactive: it melts what’s already there.
The hybrid method. Anti-ice with liquid, de-ice with salt as needed. Not an all-or-nothing switch. It’s the most effective tool in your toolbox.
Why Ontario is different. Most liquid content online is filmed in Minnesota or Iowa and doesn’t hold up here. Sugar-beet blend holds to about −25°C, salt brine holds to about −8 to −9°C.
Tried liquid before and it went badly? You’re not alone. A decade ago contractors who tried it without training got burned. That’s exactly why the Network pairs product with consulting and training, not just a sale.
“If you’re a snow removal or landscaping contractor in Ontario running your own trucks…”
Want liquid but nowhere to store it? Eco Solutions’ own facility is only staffed 8am–4pm, so fill stations solve that directly. 24/7 self-serve, metered on exactly what you use.
Already running a fleet with storage in place? The Network’s real value for you is consulting and equipment financing to make a full or partial conversion pencil out. Fill stations are a convenience layer, not a first-time enabler.
“If you manage winter maintenance for a municipality or public works department…”
You’re tracking toward Ontario’s Salt Management Plan tonnage thresholds, watching salt price volatility, and weighing liability and environmental pressure to cut chloride use.
This isn’t a hard “join now” push. It’s regulatory and case-study credibility first. Antonio has worked around the Salt Management Plan framework for 25+ years.
“If you manage a commercial property, shopping centre, or facility and hire out your winter maintenance…”
You don’t operate the trucks. You specify contractors and carry the liability and consistency risk when a program gets cut for budget reasons and slip-and-fall claims show up the next season.
A liquid anti-icing program specified into the contract survives staff turnover. A discretionary line item doesn’t.

“More liquid, less salt. The most effective tool in your toolbox isn’t salt anymore.”
Thirty years working shoulder to shoulder with municipalities, contractors, and homeowners across Ontario. The biggest barrier to adoption was never cost or product. It was access to honest, practical knowledge. The Liquid Network exists to close that gap.
Stations are being installed now. None are dispensing yet, register free to get notified the moment your nearest one goes live.

What Is the Liquid Network? The Origin Story
No. Registering is free and gets you visibility on stations going live, first access to consulting, and early-adopter credits. To actually use a station, buy product, or book paid consulting, you need to become an active Eco Solutions account. Our sales team follows up with every new sign-up to get you set up.
No. Most contractors run a hybrid program: anti-ice with liquid, de-ice with salt as needed. It’s typically a 1–3 year transition built around your existing operation, not an all-or-nothing switch.
That’s a common story from contractors who tried it without training. The Network pairs product access with consulting and training specifically so that doesn’t happen again.
Register free and run the Salt Savings Calculator with your own numbers. It takes your real numbers and shows you what staying on salt costs vs. a hybrid program, no purchase or commitment required to look.
Free to join. No pressure, no obligation.
