What CLEAN-FLO International does

CLEAN-FLO International is a privately held custom-engineering company founded in 1970 and headquartered in West Chester, Pennsylvania, focused on solving water-quality issues in lakes, ponds, and adjacent water bodies. Its core technology is the ONE Biotechnology Solution Platform, which combines the proprietary RADOR (Rapid Acting Dissolved Oxygen Restoration) full-water-column oxygenation system with enzymatic bio-dredging, bio-augmentation, and phytoplankton balance restoration to address the root causes of water-body decline — hypoxia, sediment nutrient recycling, and toxic cyanobacteria — rather than relying on chemical treatments. Field-validated outcomes include 68% reductions in chlorophyll-a and 40% decreases in nutrient levels within a single season on documented projects such as a 2-acre HOA pond in Greensboro, NC.

The company sells across four revenue streams: professional lake restoration services (multi-year contracts ranging from $2,500 to over $100,000), biological water-treatment products (Bio Booster LQ, C-FLO+ Pellets, Lake Clear+, Nutrient Sponge GR, Septic Solution, Winter Warrior), aeration equipment and replacement parts (filters, repair kits, gaskets), and a DIY quarterly subscription service offering custom 12-month maintenance plans. Distribution is hybrid: direct phone-based enterprise sales and free lake health assessments target water management professionals, engineers, consultants, HOAs, and municipalities, while an owned e-commerce storefront and the new DIY subscription channel serve individual pond owners. Educational content marketing — including the 'Simplify the Science' hub and a YouTube series — is the primary top-of-funnel mechanism.

Customer segments are diversified across water management professionals (engineers, consultants), HOAs and lake communities, DIY pond owners, and municipalities/industrial buyers in oil & gas, hydroelectric, aquaculture, and drinking water reservoir management. The company claims reach across 40+ U.S. states and six continents (North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania). It is privately held with no disclosed PE/VC backing, no external funding rounds, and no disclosed revenue, headcount, or ownership structure.
