Your Water Treatment Professionals Right Here in Waitsfield, VT
When Jen and Steve took over Clear Water Filtration from their father, they inherited more than a business—they inherited a commitment to treating every Vermont home and business like their own. That commitment has guided us through 45+ years serving this community, and it shows in everything we do.
What makes us different from other water treatment companies?Our team brings credentials that matter: we're Water Quality Association certified, members of the Vermont Rural Water Association, and all of our water filtration experts are licensed plumbers. This means we can handle the complete job—from diagnosing your water quality issues to installing treatment systems to connecting everything to your plumbing. One company, one call, one solution.
We hold multiple government contracts for PFAS/PFOA treatment because when municipalities and government facilities face these emerging contaminants, they need specialists they can trust. That same expertise is available to every Vermont homeowner who calls us. From the Mad River Valley to water treatment in Burlington, VT, the same licensed plumbers handle the job start to finish.
