Company Origin
Spads Inc. was incorporated in May '93. It is family owned and managed. The name is an acronym
of Stewart, Pauline, Adele and Danielle Stevenson.
It all started when they decided to enhance their own home supply, which had a very high iron
content and was not treated by the local water supply plant.
They started with swimming pool filters that could not withstand the oscillating pressures of
automatic water systems and eventually sourced the Matrix manual backwash valve and Structural
mineral 
tanks along with minerals from overseas distributors. The system eventually proved
tanks along with minerals from overseas distributors. The system eventually proved worthwhile but too expensive for the average Guyanese household. This
consisted of two 1 cubic foot mineral tanks connected in series, the first filter
had a sediment removal media and the second activated carbon. Backwashing was
manually done because of unreliable electrical supply. Bleach was added to the storage
tank to disinfect the water.
In 1994, Spads Inc. joined the Water Quality Association.
The next step was to acquire better suppliers in terms of price and availability.
In 1995 the company was opened to market the water filtration/treatment system they had
developed.
Mineral and retention tanks used are manufactured by Structural North America, media by Clack
Corporation, commercial valves by Fleck Controls Inc. and residential valves by Matrix IV Inc.
Because the market was so small (Population 700,000), other product lines had to be sold to
compliment the existing one, water pump, pressure tank, chemical feed pump, distiller, Ultra-
Violet and Reverse Osmosis manufacturers were contacted and asked for their Guyana
distributorships.
In addition to above their product line also includes water heaters, swimming pool chemicals and
equipment, Ramset/Redhead Concrete Fasteners and tools, turf, lawn and drip irrigation, hose, brass
and PVC fittings and valves.
Their four hundred commercial/industrial customers include the two national water supply entities,
the Georgetown Sewerage & Water Commissioners and the Guyana Water Authority, fish and
shrimp exporters, hotels, bottled water and beverage manufacturers, restaurants and bars, the mining
industry and most recently, garden centers and nurseries.
