At Johnson Screens, the spirit of invention has been in our DNA ever since Edward E. Johnson invented the Vee-Wire in 1904.
Johnson’s original concept for a continuous-slot water well screen was ahead of its time, and we have been setting the industry standard for performance and reliability ever since.
Over time, our highly engineered and precisely fabricated products have made their presence felt in virtually every major industrial application in more than 100 countries around the world.
From the water we drink and the food we eat to the clothing we wear and the buildings in which we live and work, there is a good chance you interact with something touched by a Johnson Screens product every day. We do this in pursuit of a world where protecting lives and our precious natural resources comes first.
Our screening solutions accomplish this by reducing harmful waste, providing clean water, and supporting our customers on their journey toward environmental sustainability.
Water Well Solutions
For more than 120 years, Johnson Screens has been a leading manufacturer of stainless steel and PVC well screens, casing, drop pipe, and accessories for water well, environmental, and oil and gas applications.
The continuous Vee-Wire® slot design allows for lower water entrance velocity, reducing encrustation rates. Johnson Screens Vee-Wire® also resists plugging and prevents sand from damaging pumps, while allowing minimal drawdown and reduced energy use to lift formation fluids.

Our PVC pipe products are manufactured from Type 1, Grade 1 PVC compound with a cell classification of 12454-B per ASTM D1784. Pipe materials are NSF-certified to NSF Standard 61 for Drinking Water System Components — Health Effects and comply strictly with ASTM D1785.
Similarly, our stainless and low-carbon steel casings are ideal for water well and environmental monitoring applications. In addition, our family of NSF-certified and PFAS-free Nu-Well® chemicals for water well rehabilitation is environmentally safe and proven to improve water well efficiency.
