Who are we
Aqua Pure Depot, a reflection of its founder
It is in 2001 that Rocco La Villa has founded Aqua Pure Depot, now renowned to be one of the largest distributors of water treatment products in Canada. Previously working at Bell Canada for over 30 years, he has made his introduction to the water treatment industry as a warehouse manager for American company Erie (now known as Aquion). With his foray into this industry, Rocco La Villa discovered a passion for water treatment and a challenge to match his aspirations, one of creating his own business.
