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.

Industrial Filtration Rental Equipment: Supporting Increased Production on the Houston Ship Channel

February 24, 2026
Production demands can change quickly, especially in chemical manufacturing. Recently, one of our customers on the Houston Ship Channel reached out with an urgent need for increased liquid filtration capacity. Their facility required a multi-round bag filter housing to support higher production rates. Because we maintain rental equipment at our Clute facility, we were able to respond quickly. The 12-round bag filter housing was loaded onto our truck Friday morning and delivered to their facility that same afternoon, helping them move forward without delay. No extended lead times. No waiting on freight. No production bottleneck.
