About UGSI Solutions

Originally founded as UGSI Solutions and rebranded to cleanwater1 in June 2023, the company operates as a key supplier of water quality and chemical feed solutions for municipal, industrial, and utility markets. The company's history has been marked by a strategy of acquiring established brands to build a comprehensive product portfolio. This began under the leadership of founder Andy Seidel, who also founded Underground Solutions Incorporated. Seidel led UGSI Solutions from 2016 until his retirement in 2022, after which David Stanton, a veteran with over 30 years in the water industry, took over as President and CEO.

The business model centers on providing end-to-end water and wastewater treatment solutions through a combination of proprietary technologies and well-known acquired brands. The company generates revenue by selling equipment and systems to a diverse client base that includes utility and municipal water treatment facilities, industrial process water treatment plants, and the food and beverage processing industry. Growth is fueled by strategic acquisitions, such as PAX Water Technologies in 2017, Fluid Dynamics in 2018, and more recently, Velocity Dynamics and Integrity Municipal Systems in 2024 and 2025, respectively. In June 2022, the company received a significant investment from Baird Capital to support continued expansion.

cleanwater1's product suite addresses a wide spectrum of water treatment needs. For drinking water, solutions focus on disinfection, disinfectant residual management, and the reduction of byproducts like trihalomethanes (THMs). This is accomplished through a portfolio of iconic brands including Microclor® for on-site hypochlorite generation, PAX Mixers for tank mixing, and Monoclor® RCS for residual management. For wastewater, the company provides systems for disinfection, solids thickening and dewatering, and chemical feed. Key products in this area are the Polyblend® and Dynablend™ systems for polymer activation and Encore® metering pumps. The firm's strategy is to offer a complete set of solutions, particularly for water quality management in distribution networks.
