Sparkling Clear Industries Celebrates 30 Year Anniversary
July 16, 2015

The employees of Sparkling Clear Industries (SCI) recently gathered to celebrate 30 continuous years of service under the ownership of David and Annette Johnson.

The Johnsons purchased the company in 1985, when it was a residential water softener exchange tank company. The company originally dates to the early 1960’s.  Sparkling Clear Industries has evolved into a full service commercial and industrial filtration company, providing liquid and air filtration products, various filtration medias, ceramic catalyst support media, pumps, and much more.  SCI is a turn-key service provider and works in many of the industrial plants along the coast.

Employees and customers tend to stay with SCI, and a number of them have been with the company since 1985.  An example of this longevity is Robert Salinas, who was with the company before it was purchased in 1985.  After 32 years, Robert has announced his retirement. Robert has filled many roles at SCI and has served as our purchasing manager for many years.  Robert will be sorely missed, but we wish him well as he migrates to a new chapter in his life.

The evening provided an opportunity to share stories and reminisce about the past. It also provided an opportunity to discuss the future and to look forward to the new challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.  SCI currently has two offices—located in Houston, TX and Clute, TX.

We are very proud to be members of the community that have served industries throughout Southeast Texas for 30 years.

At Sparkling Clear Industries, we take pride in helping our customers solve real problems with practical, reliable solutions. One of our current projects is a great example of what that looks like in action. A local manufacturer came to us with a costly challenge: their wastewater stream contained enough oil and grease that it had to be hauled offsite for treatment. That process was costing them nearly $40,000 every month. Instead of continuing to pay for disposal, they wanted a long-term, on-site solution. Our team got to work.

As 2025 comes to a close, our industry has one more opportunity to come together—not just for networking, but to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children in our community. Sparkling Clear Industries is proud to join Brock Group and LEL Environmental as sponsors of the Holiday Toy Drive Industry Night at Schafer’s on Thursday, December 4th.

What to do next: Mark your calendar for November 13. Register for the event if you haven’t yet. (Here’s the registration link.) When you see us there, drop by and let us know what’s happening in your operation — downtime threats, upcoming shutdowns, filtration and vessel challenges — we want to talk solutions.
