What Clearwater Controls does

Clearwater Controls is a UK-based specialist in industrial wastewater pumping solutions, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Cumbernauld. The company's flagship offering is the DERAGGER intelligent control system, designed to detect and manage ragging and debris accumulation in submersible pump stations — a chronic cause of downtime and emergency callouts in municipal sewage and industrial wastewater infrastructure. Its core technology stack combines sensor-driven pump monitoring with automated control logic, and the broader portfolio extends into high-temperature, corrosion-resistant, explosion-proof, dewatering, and slurry pump variants via the BJM Pumps and Stancor sub-brands, together with control panels (simplex, duplex, customized) and complementary sensing products (Oil Minder, PowerMonitor, Traction Minder).

The company operates a sales-led, enterprise field-sales motion, engaging municipal water and wastewater operators alongside industrial customers in mining/construction, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and power generation verticals. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with engineered-to-order industrial equipment sales. Distribution runs through direct enterprise sales and regional sales representatives, with a digital layer (BIM library on BIMobject, product selector tool, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X) used for specification-stage engagement. The group's operating footprint spans the UK (Clearwater Controls, Cumbernauld) and the United States (New Haven, CT headquarters at the broader Industrial Flow Solutions level), indicating a cross-Atlantic commercial presence.

Revenue mechanics are anchored in hardware sales of pumps, control systems, and accessories rather than subscription or recurring-service models. No funding rounds, M&A events, leadership changes, or publicly disclosed financial metrics are recorded for Clearwater Controls in the provided data, leaving headcount (1-10) as the only quantitative scale signal.
