About
With over 40 years in the industry, Chandler Systems is a premier manufacturer of water treatment products, holding over 50 patents in water treatment, motor control, and electronic systems. Our founder, Bill Chandler, started manufacturing water treatment products in 1980 and 1993 began producing electrical and electronic products.
In 2012, we combined these areas of expertise as we began to develop a virtual schematics and wireless control system, designed to help homeowners and contractors alike diagnose and solve the problems associated with leaks and other water usage issues. This private network would create a unified system to control filters, softeners, well pump controls, and more, and eventually became known as DROP.
Bill’s sons, Will and Ryan, have been in the business for many years. They are committed to continuing to look at innovative ways to meet residential and commercial water treatment needs.
History
1980
Water Soft, Inc. was founded by brothers Jim and Bill Chandler of Ashland, Ohio.
On February 29, 1980, Water Soft purchased the entire water treatment division of the F.E. Myers Pump Company.
Included in the purchase was a license for Water Soft to use the “Myers” name for a period of three years. If ever you see a product or literature in the field with both names present, it was manufactured prior to 1983.
Jim & Bill reinvested a large portion of the company’s income to research and development. The result was the creation of several patented/proprietary products including the WATER SPRITE/SINK TANK Water Filter and the PROVECTR Water Treatment System. These are all innovative in that they solve tough water problems without the use of costly chemicals. Another special product was the SOFT’N FILTER system that combines the filtration and softening process into one complete unit.
1988
On March 2, 1988, Water Soft was purchased by Amtrol Inc. Over 30 years prior to the purchase of Water Soft, Amtrol introduced the first pre-pressurized diaphragm expansion tank to the water systems industry. At that time Amtrol was the leading manufacturer of water systems tanks in the world and was looking to enter into water treatment.
Eventually both Jim and Bill Chandler moved on to pursue other opportunities and Amtrol moved Water Soft out of the Ashland facility.
1993
In 1993 Bill Chandler founded Chandler Systems Inc., a new venture focusing on the manufacture of electrical control systems for the water & wastewater markets.
1995
On September 1, 1995, Bill Chandler formally began CSI Water Treatment Systems, a division of Chandler Systems Inc. As one of the co-founders of Water Soft Inc., Bill brought his experience and innovation to CSI that built one of the most successful water treatment companies in the industry.
In 1995 CSI introduced their first propriety product, the ReactR™, an advanced innovation in the treatment of water using a natural aeration process.
2003
In 2003 the Signature Series™, Chandler Systems first proprietary control valve, was introduced to the market. CSI pioneered the first use of DC motors to position their valve for the electronic era.
2008
In January of 2008 Bill sold the controls division of Chandler Systems Inc. to SJE Rhombus, a leader in the wastewater controls industry.
Almost 20 years later, in June of 2008, Bill Chandler acquired the WaterSoft division back from Amtrol and moved production back to Ashland.
