Family Owned & Operated Since 1980
A brewery, a hospital lab, a dairy operation and a ski resort all need water treatment, and none of them need the same system. Clear Water Filtration has engineered commercial water treatment for Vermont businesses since 1980 - sized for your flow rates, built around your process, and serviced by the licensed plumbers who installed it.

Commercial water treatment differs from residential work from the first site visit. Flow rates are higher, downtime is expensive, and quality has to hold steady rather than merely be acceptable. In many Vermont facilities water is also a regulated input, so the system has to satisfy an auditor as well as an operator.
So our commercial work starts with an on-site evaluation and water analysis rather than a quote: peak demand, existing plumbing, the process the water feeds, and the standards you have to meet, engineered to those numbers.
Vermont adds its own complications. The state's geology produces hard, iron-bearing groundwater across wide areas, seasonal variation shifts water chemistry through the year, and Vermont frequently adopts water quality standards that exceed federal minimums.
We have worked with many of Vermont's better-known operations, including Cabot Creamery, Sugarbush Resort, Switchback Brewing, Alchemist Brewery, Citizen Cider, Burlington Beer Company, GlobalFoundries, Green Mountain Power and Apple Island Resort. As an authorized, independent Kinetico dealer for more than 30 years, we bring established equipment lines to those projects while keeping the engineering specific to each site.
What We Are Usually Called In For
The industry changes but the water chemistry does not vary much. What changes is the consequence - scale in a boiler, off-flavor in a batch, a failed compliance sample, a stained guest bathroom.

Commercial Services
The full commercial program: softening sized to your flow rate, multi-stage filtration for iron, manganese and sediment, UV disinfection, commercial reverse osmosis and chemical injection, delivered through our six-step process from consultation to installation.
Commercial Water TreatmentGranular activated carbon, ion exchange resin, commercial reverse osmosis and combinations of the three for facilities with confirmed PFAS contamination, plus regulatory compliance support and ongoing monitoring. Design starts from certified lab data, never an assumption.

Resorts & HospitalityOffice buildings, retail, self-storage, campgrounds and light commercial all get the same evaluation. Tell us what the water is doing and we will tell you what it takes to fix it.
802-496-5544Commercial equipment earns its keep only if it keeps running. We manufacture components and custom assemblies in-house at our Waitsfield facility and carry an extensive parts inventory, shortening lead times on repairs.
Emergency service is available seven days a week, and scheduled maintenance runs on the cadence your operation needs rather than a standard interval.

Where We Serve
From our home base in Waitsfield, VT, we provide water treatment services throughout the Green Mountain State. Each community has its own water quality characteristics based on local geology and water sources - and after 45 years, we've tested thousands of wells across Vermont and understand the regional variations that affect which treatment approaches work best.
We're Here to Help
Start with a Site Evaluation
The commercial consultation is free and happens at your facility rather than over email. We evaluate your water, your flow rates and your existing equipment, then tell you what the problem is and what it takes to solve. If the answer is smaller than you expected, we will say so.
