Our History
See Water History
See Water Ronup scale
See Water, Inc. was founded in July 1995 by Ron MacDonald. Ron recognized the need for a reliable way to pump water from underground utility vaults without the risk of pumping oil into the environment. After a retiring from a successful 36-year career at Southern California Edison, he found the solution in the form of a then-new capacitive technology, which he used to develop the Oil Smart® pump switch.

Ron worked many long hours to fine-tune the electronics, develop prototypes and engineer products. The Oil Smart® alarm was introduced in 2005. By 2006, See Water moved to its own manufacturing facility in San Jacinto, Calif. The Oil Smart® simplex control panel joined the product line that same year. After years of engineering and business development, See Water gained extensive industry expertise, built a nationwide network of manufacturing representatives and earned an excellent reputation for its quality engineered products.
