AQUA CLEAR WATER SYSTEMS
Safer Water - Local and Family Owned
A
re you worried your water is full of nasty chemicals like chlorine, fluoride, and micro-organisms? Are you tired of seeing dirty water spots in your shower and sinks? Or are you concerned the limescale is shortening the lifespan of your expensive appliances? Aqua Clear Water Systems is Tennessee’s leading provider of residential and commercial grade water filter systems and softeners. They are a locally owned, family run business with a focus on providing professional customer service, premium quality products, and expert technical support. In this month’s edition of Mountain Views, we had the opportunity to interview David Brewster, the founder of Aqua Clear. MV: Aqua Clear is a family business. Tell us a little about that. David: I started Aqua Clear in my dad’s garage in 2005. Initially, I was the only employee. I had been in the industry for about 10 years at that time, and I created the company after I realized that things could be done better than I was seeing. My wife, Krista, was a dietician at the time.
The Brewster family: Robert, Krista, David, Lydia, and Jonathan.
“They turned the brown water coming into our house into crystal clear, delicious and refreshing water! Amazing!!” – D. Reed
She started helping me expand Aqua Clear. Her involvement has been invaluable. All three of our kids, Jonathan, Lydia, and Robert started working in the business over their high school summer vacations. Jonathan initially worked on the installation, then moved into sales, and now is VP of business development. Our daughter, Lydia, majored in Supply Chain Management at UT. She is now managing warehouse marketing, onboarding, and training. Our youngest son, Robert, got involved in his senior year of high school. He loves meeting people, testing their water, and helping change their lives with better water. He is one of the top salespeople in the nation. In addition to our family, our team has expanded to over 50+ members, and we’re proud to have served over 10,000 residential and commercial clients. MV: I know you have a lot of different systems available. In a nutshell, what types of systems do you offer? David: We are a water brokerage company. We do sales, service, and installation for all makes and models of water treatment equipment. We do city water, well water, and commercial systems. In addition to homes, we are in coffee shops, restaurants, hospitals for their surgery rooms.
MV: What areas do you service? David: We service all of East Tennessee right now. We are in the process of expanding into the Nashville area in Middle Tennessee. Right now, we have a great team of approximately 50 employees with about 20 trucks. Our goal is to expand nationwide. MV: How does your process work? David: We custom build each system depending on the needs of each home. We begin by having a project supervisor come out to your home. They will inspect your plumbing and your water. They do a full analysis (worth about $300) for no charge. They take into account your wants, needs, and budget to design a system just for you. We then install and service your system. We want to go above and beyond in everything we do. We prep each installation and do the job right. Our technicians are professionals, from their education to the way they dress and present themselves. I feel they are the best in the nation. We currently have over 1,500 5-star reviews for our systems, installations, and service. MV: What sorts of water improvements have some of your customers reported after having AquaClear install their system? David: We have customers who reported their eczema improving, more
