Merit Filter Corporation

Merit Filter Corporation was formed in September, 2000 when David J. Prewett, P.E., incorporated the company and subsequently purchased the assets of Merit Manufacturing, Inc. (Merit). He then hired Charles McDonald, formerly Vice-President of Merit Manufacturing, as General Manager. At the time of the acquisition, Mr. Prewett felt a name change was in order to more closely align the new company in the wastewater/water industry. Many years of developing and testing various dewatering devices for efficiency and reliability ends right here. The Merit Filter Media sludge dewatering system now offers the best financial alternative to both costly mechanical dewatering and obsolete, inefficient sand drying beds. Best of all, Merit Filter Media can be retrofitted to any existing sand drying bed simply and inexpensively. The new Merit Filter Media is the improved dewatering system.
