Guardian Chemicals is pleased to announce that Sci-Chem Water Treatment has joined Guardian Chemicals USA, bringing together a trusted Central Florida water treatment provider with Guardian Chemicals, a specialty chemical manufacturer in business since 1960.
Based in Central Florida and supporting customers across Florida and the Eastern United States, the combined team now delivers a broader range of commercial, industrial, and residential water treatment solutions—backed by Guardian’s chemistry, manufacturing, and technical expertise.
A Trusted Central Florida Provider Joins Guardian Chemicals USA
For over 30 years, Sci-Chem has been a full-service water conditioning and softening provider serving Central Florida homes and businesses. From detailed analysis of local water conditions to excellence in installation and customer service, Sci-Chem built its reputation on treating both water and customers with the same standard: correctly, efficiently, and professionally.
Operating from Kissimmee, Florida, Sci-Chem has delivered residential water softening and filtration systems, commercial and light industrial water treatment solutions, and on-site water analysis with periodic service calls to customer facilities.
Now, that same local service continues under the Guardian Chemicals USA banner.
“When we looked at Sci-Chem, we saw a company that runs the same way we do: deep technical knowledge, long-term customer relationships, and a commitment to getting the chemistry right. Combine this with one of the most technically challenging and fastest growing water markets in the U.S. and you have an amazing combination.”
What This Means for Sci-Chem Customers
For existing Sci-Chem customers, the integration is designed to be seamless. The same local technicians and representatives remain in place. Regular service calls, system checks, and on-site water analysis continue as a core part of the program. And customers now gain access to a broader portfolio of water treatment chemistries, equipment, and technical support.
“If you’ve been with Sci-Chem for years, you’ll still recognize what matters most: the same great people, the same service mindset, and the same commitment to doing what’s right for your system. The difference is added strength behind the scenes—more training, more resources, and a broader range of products and services to support you even better.”
For Residential Customers
Sci-Chem continues to provide whole-home water treatment solutions for Central Florida homes—helping families enjoy cleaner, better-tasting water tailored to local water quality challenges.
“A facility I recently took over was struggling to maintain proper treatment levels month to month. With Guardian’s technical resources behind us, we’ve already put a plan in place and started implementation. That kind of support wasn’t available to us before.”
“Our customers can expect the same personal service they’ve always had—along with more tools in the toolbox. Guardian’s R&D, manufacturing, technical expertise, and data analytics, combine to give our local team capabilities to proactively manage any situation. Whether it is a complex boiler/cooling tower issue, a waste water process that’s not responding to standard treatment, or a multi-site account, we have the technical depth to solve it. That’s what scale means in practice."
Central Florida Hub, Broader Regional Support
Sci-Chem’s operations now function as a key hub for Guardian Chemicals USA in the region. From its base in Central Florida, the combined team provides full-service commercial, industrial, and residential water treatment across Florida, supports customers and partners across the Eastern United States, and leverages Guardian’s manufacturing and logistics network to improve supply reliability and responsiveness.
Strengthening Water Treatment for the Long Term
As part of Guardian Chemicals USA, Sci-Chem customers gain greater reliability of supply through Guardian’s manufacturing and distribution capabilities, access to a broader library of chemistries and programs for complex systems and challenging water conditions, and support from Guardian’s technical and R&D teams to optimize systems for efficiency, equipment protection, and compliance.
At the same time, Guardian benefits from Sci-Chem’s deep understanding of Central Florida water conditions and long-standing customer relationships in the region.
Smarter Data for Commercial Customers
For commercial and industrial customers, the integration also means access to DataGuard—Guardian’s data logging, analytics, and reporting platform. DataGuard provides real-time visibility into system performance, automated alerts when treatment parameters move out of range, and historical reporting accessible from any device. Guardian has since launched DataGuard 2.0, giving commercial customers even more control over their water treatment programs.
“Before, we tracked a lot of treatment data manually. Now with Guardian’s systems, that information is automated and accessible—which means I spend more time solving problems for customers and less time on paperwork.”
“We’re not just maintaining what Sci-Chem built—we’re adding infrastructure behind it. Better analytics through DataGuard, broader chemistry options, and the manufacturing reliability to back it all up. Same trusted team, stronger foundation.”
