About the Founder
Barry Nelson's journey into the world of water treatment began after graduating from the University of Guelph with an Honors Degree in Science and a focus on Microbiology. He embarked on a career with General Foods (now part of Kraft Foods/Reynolds) in 1967, where he swiftly climbed the ranks from Production Foreman to roles in Packaging, Process Engineering, Purchasing, and Marketing over nine years.
In 1977, Barry transitioned into the realm of marketing research consulting, co-founding a company that pioneered the integration of left-brain (verbal) and right-brain (non-verbal) information in advertising and promotions. Their innovative approach garnered attention from major corporations across the US, Canada, and Europe.
Parallel to his consulting endeavors, Barry and his associates introduced Photozone, utilizing photochemical and ultraviolet (UV) ozone generators, into the Canadian market for commercial pools. Recognizing the potential of this technology, Barry shifted gears in 1982, founding Photozone Inc., which later evolved into Water Quality Management and ultimately UltraPure Water Quality Inc. (UWQ). With the establishment of a US presence, UltraPure Water Quality LLC emerged.
Innovation and Leadership
UltraPure Water Quality quickly established itself as a leader in product innovation and effective marketing. In 1987, the company pioneered the suction side injection method for swimming pools, a technique that was nationally rolled out in 1993. This method, known for its efficiency and compatibility with in-floor cleaning systems, utilizes the swimming pool filter as a reaction vessel, simultaneously cleaning and degreasing the filter.
In the mid-90s, UltraPure introduced the Menu Management Approach to Pool (and Spa) Water Sanitation. This innovative approach categorizes sanitation into Residual, Disinfection, and Oxidation, with ozone supplying the oxidation power and chlorine addressing the other two aspects. Continuing its streak of innovation, UltraPure developed an Ozone Detection Tube for Spa Ozone generators in the late 90s, tapping into the replacement spa unit market.
Transition and Future Outlook
In February 2018, UltraPure Water Quality underwent a transition in ownership when long-time senior managers Brian and Nancy Richardson acquired the company. With over 45 years of combined industry experience, their dedication to quality and innovation ensures that UltraPure remains at the forefront of the pool and spa industry.
Moving forward, UltraPure is committed to serving both existing and new customers with the most reliable products available in the industry. The company's dedication to North American manufacturing remains a cornerstone of its competitive advantage.
