Waterco Micron Sand Filter

Waterco is a significant player in the global water treatment industry, specializing in energy-efficient equipment for swimming pools, spas, and water treatment systems. The brand is particularly well-known for its Micron range of sand filters, which utilize advanced fiberglass winding technology to create high-durability, corrosion-resistant tanks. While the brand has its roots in Australian innovation, its manufacturing operations have expanded globally to meet international demand.

Waterco was established in Sydney, Australia, in 1981 by Soon Sinn Goh. Over the decades, it evolved from a local distributor of pool PVC pipes into a publicly listed global entity. Today, the majority of its high-volume manufacturing, including the production of fiberglass filters and pumps, takes place in its large-scale facility in Malaysia. The company also maintains assembly and manufacturing capabilities in Australia and China to serve specific regional markets.

The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of Waterco Limited, which is headquartered in New South Wales and listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). This independent ownership structure allows the company to maintain a strong focus on research and development, resulting in a product portfolio that spans over 40 countries through a network of subsidiaries and distributors.
