Pelton Environmental Products

What Pelton Environmental Products does

Pelton Environmental Products is a privately held manufacturer's representative founded in 1992 and headquartered in Lewis Center, Ohio. The company sells and supports municipal water and wastewater treatment equipment on behalf of 35+ manufacturer principals across Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. Its core customers are municipal water and wastewater utilities, with secondary engagement with engineering consultants who specify treatment systems. Notable projects include a 175 MGD pumping package for Louisville MSD, a 100 MGD high-rate treatment system for Springfield, Ohio, and a 40 MGD lime softening plant for Hamilton, Ohio.

The company generates revenue through three streams: equipment and process sales commissions (the primary channel), technical services including pilot testing and design support, and managed carbon reactivation services that replace spent GAC at 30-40% below virgin carbon cost. The product portfolio spans the full treatment train — headworks screening, chemical feed, filtration, disinfection (UV, on-site hypochlorite, peracetic acid), PFAS removal (GAC, ion exchange, reverse osmosis), mixing, and sludge dewatering. Featured principals include Calgon Carbon (exclusive PFAS representation in tri-state), Huber Technology, Seepex, Trojan UV, Invent, Roberts Filter, and PeraCide. Pelton also operates a sister company, Ohio Valley Service Solutions, which provides installation, maintenance, and aftermarket support.

The go-to-market is a direct field sales model with dedicated sales engineers covering five named territories, supported by plant-direct sales representatives for smaller accounts. All sales are consultative and quote-based; there is no e-commerce or self-serve channel. The company supplements sales with Lunch & Learn educational sessions and a technical blog covering PFAS, PAA, pilot testing, and dewatering topics. The firm is family-owned, with three Peltons (Jim, John, Megan) in named roles, and has no disclosed external funding, institutional investors, or acquisitions.

Direct peers

• Pollard Water: Manufacturer's representative and distributor of water and wastewater treatment equipment serving municipal and industrial customers across multiple U.S. regions. Closely comparable to Pelton in business model — rep of treatment equipment principals serving utility customers — but with broader geographic reach.
• Ford Hallman Associates: Independent manufacturer's representative firm serving the water and wastewater treatment industry with equipment, chemicals, and service offerings to municipal utilities. Operates with a comparable rep model targeting municipal utilities in a defined regional territory.
• U.S. Water Services: Provider of integrated water and wastewater treatment solutions, including equipment representation, chemistry programs, and service. Comparable in combining equipment rep relationships with technical services for municipal utility customers.

Broad incumbents

• Evoqua Water Technologies: Major provider of water and wastewater treatment products, services, and systems to municipal and industrial customers (now part of Xylem). Competes with Pelton's represented equipment lines across the same municipal utility procurement channels.
• HD Supply Waterworks: Large-scale distributor of water, sewer, and storm water products serving municipal utilities, contractors, and industrial customers nationwide. Operates a much broader portfolio and footprint than Pelton, but serves overlapping municipal utility customers with similar product categories.
• Xylem: Global water technology company offering pumps, treatment equipment, and smart metering for municipal water and wastewater utilities worldwide. While much larger and vertically integrated as a manufacturer-principal, Xylem competes with Pelton's represented principals for the same municipal customers.
• Veolia Water Technologies: Global water and wastewater treatment solutions provider serving municipal utilities with equipment, chemicals, and operating services. Represents a large incumbent that municipal customers may engage directly instead of through independent reps like Pelton.

Others

• Hach Company: Manufacturer of water quality testing and analytical instruments serving municipal and industrial water treatment customers. Operates upstream of Pelton as a potential represented principal rather than direct competitor, but interacts with the same municipal utility technical buyers.
