As 2026 begins, individuals, organizations, and industries are redefining what sustainability truly means. One of the most impactful commitments to make this year is a Clean Water Pledge, a pledge that goes beyond drinking water to protect all forms of clean water, including stormwater, wastewater, groundwater, irrigation systems, industrial water, and natural waterways.

California’s water treatment industry is undergoing a period of sustained and accelerated growth. Long-term water scarcity, increasingly stringent water-quality regulations, aging infrastructure, and major public investment have converged to make water treatment a central priority across the state.

If you work in the seafood industry, you already know water isn’t just part of the process; it is the process. From aquaculture tanks to processing lines, rinsing, chilling, and packaging, water touches every single product before it reaches consumers.

When most people picture chili production, they think sunny fields, red pods, and maybe a little sweat from the heat. But the real star of the chili industry isn’t a plant, a farmer, or even fertilizer. It’s water. Clean, filtered, properly managed water.

Ask any brewer what matters most, and you’ll hear a familiar list: malt, hops, yeast, yeast nutrients, fermentation temps… But the one thing that quietly influences every single pint is the thing we talk about the least: water.

If you run a hotel, hospital, apartment complex, manufacturing facility, pharmaceutical plant, or any large-scale commercial property, you probably know how critical clean, reliable water is. Whether you’re dealing with water for drinking, process use, boilers, cooling towers, or general facility plumbing, the right multi-media filter (MMF) can make all the difference.

Wastewater treatment used to be one of those behind-the-scenes systems we rarely talked about, the kind of infrastructure that quietly did its job in the background. But that’s changing fast.

High-demand irrigation systems rely on dependable filtration to protect pumps, pipelines, emitters, and fertigation equipment. The SM-Series3 Epoxy Removable Underdrain Sand Media Filter is engineered specifically for long-term field performance, offering a rugged design, serviceable construction, and the corrosion resistance required for harsh agricultural environments.

Avocados have evolved from a niche fruit to a global culinary staple. As demand continues to surge, understanding when and where avocados grow best, and how farmers sustainably manage water has become increasingly important.

In the rapidly evolving food-manufacturing world, water is one of the most critical, and one of the most undervalued resources for a facility producing frozen treats. For an ice-cream production facility, the proper application of water treatment systems isn’t just about meeting regulations; it’s about operational efficiency, product quality, hygiene, cost control, and sustainability.

Austin’s not just the Live Music Capital of the World; it’s quickly becoming a national leader in water sustainability. In 2025, Austin Water picked up two major national awards recognizing its dedication to clean water, smart management, and long-term sustainability.

Desert cities have always faced a fundamental challenge: how to provide reliable, clean water in an environment where nature offers very little. High heat, low rainfall, and a growing population place enormous pressure on limited supplies.

When precision matters and flow rates are low, filtration performance is often the first thing to suffer. The LF-Series Sand Media Filters are designed specifically for low-flow irrigation and water treatment projects that need dependable, high-quality filtration where plastic disc filters fall short.

Water quality is the foundation of every aquatic industry, whether aquaculture, fisheries, marine parks, or seafood processing. Effective water treatment protects aquatic life, ensures regulatory compliance, and drives operational efficiency.

If you’ve ever driven through California’s Central Valley, you know orchards stretch as far as the eye can see. Almonds, walnuts, pistachios, and citrus all thriving in a place where water is as precious as gold.

When most people think of irrigation, they envision sprawling farms, orchards, or lawns. Yet irrigation technologies are making waves in far more unexpected industries.

When it comes to agricultural irrigation, performance, reliability, and longevity matter. The SM-Series4 Sand Media Filters are purpose-built to meet the rigorous demands of growers, irrigation engineers, and farm operations that rely on dependable filtration to protect their water systems.

Let’s be real, running a car wash isn’t just about shiny cars and spotless finishes anymore. Water is a huge part of the business, and how you manage it can make or break your bottom line.

Golf course irrigation is no longer just about keeping the greens green. It’s about precision water management, sustainability, and technology-driven efficiency.

When you think about what makes a city thrive, chances are you picture skyscrapers, public transit, or maybe that local coffee shop with the perfect oat milk latte. But here’s a fun fact: none of it works without clean, reliable water.
