As a family-owned company now in our second generation, we combine proven technology with genuine Vermont expertise to address the unique water challenges found throughout this region.

Our team of licensed plumbers and water quality specialists serves Waterbury and the surrounding Washington County communities with comprehensive water filtration, water softening, PFAS/PFOA treatment, and well water conditioning services. As an authorized, independent Kinetico dealer for over 30 years, we bring that same expertise to residential customers.
Waterbury occupies a unique position in Vermont's landscape—situated along the Winooski River corridor with the Green Mountains rising to the west and rolling hills extending toward Montpelier to the east. This geography creates diverse water sources and quality considerations that homeowners should understand. The town's mix of bedrock wells, gravel wells, and municipal connections means that water quality can vary significantly even between neighboring properties.
At Clear Water Filtration, we recognize that Waterbury's water challenges require local knowledge and customized solutions. We don't apply one-size-fits-all approaches—we test your water, understand your specific situation, and design treatment solutions that address your actual needs.
Know Your Water
The geological diversity of the Waterbury area means residents may encounter various water quality challenges depending on their water source:
The first step toward better water is understanding exactly what you're working with. Our comprehensive water testing services examine your water for contaminants, minerals, and quality factors that affect both safety and enjoyment. We explain results in plain language and provide honest recommendations—no scare tactics, no unnecessary equipment.

Residential Water Treatment Services
For Waterbury families, quality water is fundamental to daily life. From the water you drink and cook with to the water that flows through your shower and appliances, treatment can dramatically improve your home's water quality and protect your investment in plumbing and fixtures.
Our point-of-entry (POE) systems treat your water at the main supply line, ensuring that every faucet, fixture, and appliance in your Waterbury home receives clean, conditioned water. This comprehensive approach delivers multiple benefits.
Protection for your home infrastructure:
Improved daily living:
While whole-house treatment addresses general water quality, many Waterbury homeowners want an additional layer of purification for their drinking water. Our point-of-use (POU) systems provide that extra protection right at your kitchen sink.
Reverse osmosis (RO) systems are particularly effective for:
We install and service RO systems from trusted manufacturers, ensuring you have access to the cleanest possible drinking water for your family.
Hard water is a widespread challenge throughout Washington County, and Waterbury residents frequently experience its effects. Our water softening systems remove the calcium and magnesium minerals that cause problems.
Hard water causes:
As your authorized Kinetico dealer in Central Vermont, we install water softeners that operate without electricity, using the kinetic energy of moving water instead. These systems provide reliable, efficient softening with lower operating costs and no timers to adjust.
PFAS and PFOA Treatment
PFAS—per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances—have become a significant water quality concern throughout Vermont. These "forever chemicals" don't break down naturally and have been linked to health effects at even low exposure levels. Waterbury residents, whether on municipal water or private wells, should understand their PFAS exposure.
Clear Water Filtration holds government contracts for PFAS/PFO treatment, demonstrating our capability to meet the most stringent standards. We bring that same expertise to residential customers.
We provide comprehensive PFAS testing to determine your exposure levels, treatment systems designed specifically for PFAS reduction, and ongoing monitoring to ensure continued protection.
Our team provides expert guidance on this evolving water quality concern, helping you understand your options and make informed decisions about protecting your family.
Private Well Owners
Many Waterbury properties rely on private wells, which provide independence but also responsibility. Unlike municipal water, well water receives no treatment before reaching your tap—that responsibility falls to you as the homeowner.
Our well water treatment services address the full range of private well challenges:
We recommend annual testing for all well owners in the Waterbury area, with additional testing after any well work, flooding events, or noticeable changes in water quality.
Private well ownership means you're responsible for ensuring your family's water is safe. Our team includes licensed plumbers and water quality experts who understand the unique challenges and opportunities of well water systems in Central Vermont.
