Clearwater Pump Service

What Clearwater Pump Service does

Clearwater Pump Service is a privately held, founder-owned well pump and irrigation service company headquartered in Forest Grove, Oregon. Founded in January 2012 by David Parson, the company provides service, installation, and repair of well pumps, irrigation pumps, water filtration, and water quality systems for residential, agricultural, and commercial customers across western Oregon. Operations are organized around three full-time field-service crews (Forest Grove/west, Oregon City/east, and Salem/south) and a 6,000-square-foot industrial facility on Douglas Street, with the founder's team expanding from a single part-time employee and a pickup truck to 10+ personnel including several long-tenured specialists.

The core product and technology stack spans submersible pumps (from Grundfos, Franklin Electric, Goulds, Berkeley, Aermotor, Jacuzzi, Red Jacket), centrifugal pumps, jet pumps, line-shaft turbine pumps, constant-pressure variable frequency drives (VFDs), water holding tank systems (300-5,000 gallon reservoirs with booster pumps and run-dry protection), pressure tanks, well drilling, and a full water treatment line including ion-exchange softeners, oxidation-based iron filtration, UV disinfection, pH/neutralizer filters, and whole-house reverse osmosis for contaminants such as silica, sodium, and arsenic. Capabilities also include free on-site mineral testing, potability testing through a state-certified laboratory, energy efficiency evaluations, and chemigation systems for agricultural GAP compliance. As an Energy Trust of Oregon Trade Ally Contractor and NRCS technical service provider, the company accesses rebate-funded efficiency work and agricultural design specifications.

The business model combines four revenue streams: on-site service and labor (pump repair, troubleshooting, emergency calls), one-time installation revenue for new pumps, tanks, and treatment systems (carrying a 5-year warranty with 1-year labor warranty), retail hardware sales at Forest Grove and Salem storefronts (irrigation equipment, pump parts, PVC fittings, hard-to-find supplies), and ongoing water treatment maintenance contracts. Pricing is quote-based after free on-site estimates; no formal pricing tiers are publicly disclosed. The company is entirely bootstrapped with no institutional investors, operates only in Oregon, and reaches customers via local media coverage, Angie's List/online reviews, walk-in retail, SEO-driven website content, and dedicated regional phone lines.
