Pep Filters

What Pep Filters does

PEP Filters is a privately held U.S. water filtration equipment manufacturer headquartered in Mooresville, North Carolina, that engineers and supplies industrial-scale filtration systems for cooling water, process water, intake water, wastewater, and reclaim/reuse applications. Its product portfolio is organized around five distinct technology platforms: Media Filters (BMF bi-media, SMF polymeric, HMF media), Disc Filters (OPAL, CRYSTAL, and GALAXY BATTERY models), Screen Filters (SAF, TAF, EBS, SIGMA TCS), Centrifugal Separators (ICS2), and Cartridge/Bag Filtration. Flow capacities span approximately 10 to 5,000 GPM, with micron ratings from 5 to 800 microns and ASME-U stamped pressure vessels up to 600 PSI depending on configuration.

The company sells primarily into five end markets: HVAC and Data Centers, Petrochemical and Power, Oil and Gas, Municipal, and Aquaculture. Its value proposition centers on offering all five technologies in-house, enabling either standalone product sales or integration into custom skid-mounted systems tailored to specific process conditions. Technical differentiators cited include automatic backwash functionality, pneumatic actuation on media filters, no-moving-parts centrifugal separation down to 75 microns, and pre-engineered turnkey bag filter packages with NEMA 4X control panels.

Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales with quote-based pricing (no public price list), supported by a corporate website with a Resource Library of technical documentation and a publicly posted micron-sizing guide. No revenue, headcount, funding, or ownership information is disclosed. The company's social media links point to Amiad Water Systems, suggesting a likely affiliation or shared digital infrastructure with that publicly listed water filtration peer, though the nature of the relationship is not confirmed in the available data.

Broad incumbents

• Xylem: Global water technology major serving utility, industrial, and commercial water customers with pumps, filtration, and treatment solutions. Overlaps with PEP in industrial water treatment applications, particularly municipal and process water, and serves as a benchmark for industrial water filtration scale.
• Suez Water Technologies & Solutions: Global water services and technology provider serving industrial customers with filtration, treatment chemicals, and digital monitoring. Overlaps with PEP in industrial cooling water and process water filtration, particularly for petrochemical and power customers.
• Pentair: Large diversified water treatment company with industrial filtration, flow, and pool/aquaculture product lines. Comparable to PEP in industrial water filtration breadth and aquaculture exposure, though Pentair operates at much larger scale across consumer and industrial channels.
• Veolia Water Technologies: Global water treatment major with industrial process water and wastewater solutions across petrochemical, power, and municipal customers. Competes with PEP in large-scale industrial water treatment projects, though Veolia's scope extends well beyond filtration into full water management services.
• 3M Separation and Purification Sciences: Diversified manufacturer with a substantial industrial filtration business serving industrial process liquids, food & beverage, and water treatment. Comparable to PEP in industrial liquid filtration cartridges and bag filters, though 3M operates at vastly larger scale across many verticals.
• Pall Corporation: Danaher subsidiary and established industrial filtration incumbent serving oil & gas, petrochemical, power, and bioprocessing markets with a broad filter portfolio. Overlaps with PEP in industrial process water and produced water filtration, particularly in oil & gas and petrochemical verticals.

Direct peers

• Amiad Water Systems: Israeli-headquartered water filtration specialist whose social media channels are linked from PEP Filters' website, strongly suggesting affiliation. Both serve industrial water filtration markets with disc, screen, and media filter technologies, making them direct peers or operationally linked.
• Filtration Group: Private industrial filtration company with brands including Filtra Systems, Jonell, and Porex serving industrial process filtration. Directly comparable to PEP in industrial liquid filtration for petrochemical, oil & gas, and power generation, with broader international footprint.
• Donaldson Company: Industrial filtration manufacturer with a broad portfolio of liquid filtration products serving industrial process water, petrochemical, and OEM customers. Directly competes with PEP in industrial liquid filtration cartridges, bags, and housings serving similar engineering-procurement buyer personas.

Emerging players

• Hydro International: Specialist in water screening, filtration, and separation for industrial and municipal customers, with strong overlap in intake water and stormwater applications. Comparable to PEP in centrifugal separation/screening technologies and municipal/industrial customer segments.
