Florida Water Process Services (WPS)

What Florida Water Process Services (WPS) does

Florida Water Process Services (WPS) is a regional industrial water treatment platform headquartered in Plantation, Florida, serving customers across South Florida's Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties. The company delivers water treatment programs for cooling towers, boilers, and chillers; water testing for pathogens and contaminants including Legionella and PFAS; industrial wastewater management; recurring chemical treatment programs equipped with smart controllers; emergency equipment rentals; and expert witness services. Its customer base spans healthcare, hospitality, government, education, manufacturing, data centers, banks, senior living, prisons, and distribution centers, with 24/7 emergency response capability.

The platform was formed in 2020 as a holding entity and has consolidated three established operating companies: AWT (in operation since 2003, with 500+ clients), SFWC (30+ years of chemical program expertise), and Gold Flow (25+ years of process water experience). FLWPS holds multiple industry certifications—ASSE 12080, AWWA C562-11, ASHRAE 188, CMS QSO-17-30, and NSF 453—that qualify it for regulated work in healthcare and government. The company maintains research and product partnerships with Florida International University (PFAS testing) and AQUATOOLS (point-of-use filtration).

The business model is built on recurring service contracts for chemical treatment and monitoring, supplemented by transactional water testing, emergency equipment rentals, and expert witness fees. Revenue mechanics are driven by per-account service agreements with embedded consumable (chemical) replenishment, creating a hybrid recurring-plus-consumable revenue stream. Geographic concentration in three South Florida counties is the primary structural risk, while the fragmented regional water treatment industry provides a clear acquisition runway for continued expansion.

Core offering

Florida Water Process Services provides commercial, industrial, institutional, and government water treatment services across South Florida, including chemical water treatment programs for cooling towers and boilers, chiller and boiler mechanical services and cleaning, waterborne pathogen and environmental laboratory testing, industrial wastewater treatment, and point-of-use filtration. The company sells proprietary smart and basic water treatment controllers and resells AQUATOOLS FILT'RAY point-of-use filters, complemented by emergency equipment rentals and expert witness services.

Product overview

Florida Water Process Services (FLWPS) is a commercial water treatment service company offering a unified portfolio of services rather than a software platform. The core offering comprises chemical water treatment programs with two smart controller tiers: the Full Smart Controller (starting at $12,000) providing real-time monitoring with dashboard and alerts, and the Basic Controller (starting at $2,700) for conductivity-based control. The company distributes industrial water treatment equipment including the Marlo brand MFS, MFG-SM, MAT, MST, MGT, MR, MRG, MBM, and MHC series water softeners and filtration systems, plus MRO series industrial reverse osmosis systems and transfer pump skids. Point-of-use filtration products from partner AQUATOOLS (FILT'RAY filters in various durations) are offered for healthcare facility hygiene. Service categories span cooling tower and chiller maintenance, boiler services, water management and testing, environmental/analytical chemistry laboratory testing, industrial wastewater treatment, tank cleaning, welding, and emergency equipment rentals. Three recent acquisitions (Advance Water Technology in 2025, South Florida Water Consultants in 2026, Gold Flow Chemical & Solutions in 2026) have expanded FLWPS's capabilities and service coverage across Florida.

Direct peers

• ChemTreat: ChemTreat is a leading U.S. industrial water treatment specialist focused on chemical programs for cooling towers, boilers, and closed-loop systems, with on-site service engineers similar to Florida WPS's model. The closest direct comparison in terms of program-driven recurring chemical service.
• LiquiTech (a Solenis company): LiquiTech specializes in Legionella risk management, secondary disinfection, and water safety programs for healthcare and commercial facilities, including pathogen testing. A closer match to Florida WPS's healthcare/government vertical, regulatory-services focus, and water management plan offering.

Broad incumbents

• Pentair (Commercial & Industrial Water): Pentair manufactures and services commercial/industrial water treatment equipment including filtration, softening, and RO systems, with associated service contracts. Comparable to Florida WPS's equipment line (Marlo MFS, MRO, etc.) and recurring service economics, though at a global manufacturing scale.
• Solenis: Solenis supplies specialty water treatment chemicals and service programs (formerly part of Ashland Water Technologies) to industrial customers including cooling and boiler systems. Comparable to Florida WPS in chemical treatment programs but with international scale and broader industrial end markets.
• Evoqua Water Technologies: Evoqua provides water and wastewater treatment products, services, and systems for industrial and commercial customers, with strong U.S. service density. Overlaps with Florida WPS on industrial wastewater treatment, Legionella management, and compliance-driven service programs.
• Culligan Water: Culligan provides commercial and industrial water treatment systems, service, and consumables — overlapping with Florida WPS on filtration, softening, and RO systems, plus related field service. Operates through a national dealer/service network versus Florida WPS's direct regional model.
• Veolia Water Technologies: Veolia's water technologies division provides industrial water and wastewater treatment systems, chemicals, and service contracts to commercial and institutional facilities. Directly competes with Florida WPS on cooling tower/boiler service, Legionella management, and industrial wastewater, with significantly broader geographic and technical reach.
• Nalco Water (an Ecolab company): Nalco Water, part of Ecolab, is the largest industrial water treatment chemicals and services provider in the U.S., serving cooling towers, boilers, and closed-loop systems across all verticals Florida WPS targets. Directly comparable on chemical water treatment programs and on-site service delivery, but at vastly larger national/global scale.

Emerging players

• Special Pathogens Laboratory (now part of RCS Group): Special Pathogens Laboratory is a Legionella and waterborne pathogen testing laboratory serving healthcare facilities, comparable to Florida WPS's waterborne pathogen testing, environmental analytical chemistry, and ASSE 12080-aligned compliance services.

Others

• Water-Tech Online / Hach: Hach (part of Veralto/Danaher) supplies water quality testing instruments, reagents, and analytical chemistry services, overlapping with Florida WPS's environmental and analytical chemistry testing business. Functions as both an equipment supplier and an adjacent service provider in the same water testing space.
