Silver Bullet Water Treatment, founded in 2008 and established in 2011, provides non-chemical water management solutions for several commercial industries. The company was acquired by Clear Comfort in April 2023, creating a combined entity with a broad portfolio of Advanced Oxidation Process (AOP) solutions. Brad Walsh, the former CEO of Silver Bullet, transitioned to Clear Comfort's board to ensure synergy between the organizations. The company's technology was developed by Chief Technology Officer David Kolstad, whose three decades as an operating engineer inspired him to create a safer, more efficient alternative to traditional chemical-based treatments.
The firm's business model centers on equipment and product sales, including rentals, targeting the agribusiness, controlled environment agriculture, and industrial cooling tower markets across the United States and globally. Clients include data centers, hospitals, hotels, factories, and commercial buildings. Silver Bullet offers custom-engineered systems, automated water management, in-house lab testing, and regulatory consulting to address issues like scale formation, corrosion, and biological contamination. Revenue is generated through the sale and monthly rental of its systems, which eliminates a large capital outlay for customers.
The core product is a patented AOP system that uses ambient air and UV light to generate a mixed oxidant gas. This gas, when dissolved in water, creates hydroxyl radicals and hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the water, control scale, and inhibit corrosion without requiring the handling of toxic chemicals. This process can lead to significant reductions in water consumption, energy use, and maintenance costs. The company has received notable recognition, including a recommendation for deployment across U.S. federal government buildings by the GSA, DOE, and NREL after a multi-year evaluation.
