NSF/ANSIWho We Are
Jenfitch, Inc is a manufacturing and marketing firm that specializes in water treatment chemicals. We deliver advanced treatment technologies that enhance water quality, protect infrastructure, support public health, and strengthen operational efficiency across utilities, agriculture, food processing, energy, and industrial sectors.
Our work spans five key areas: safe drinking water using green technology, water reuse treatment, food safety, wastewater cleanup, and the elimination of microorganism contaminants.
Jenfitch, Inc was incorporated in 2008 to manufacture and market next-generation water-treatment chemistry, but the expertise behind it goes back much further: our team brings more than 40 years of combined experience in water treatment to every program we build. Since 2008 that experience has been focused on advanced oxidation and precision, ORP-controlled dosing. Our mission is simple to say and demanding to deliver: Smarter. Safer. Sustainable.
Our Story
Jenfitch was founded in 2008 to manufacture and market a new generation of water-treatment chemistry. In 2013 we brought JC 9450 — our mineral oxychloride technology — to market, and it has since become the foundation of our program family, including the EPA- and USDA-approved flagship disinfectant JC 9465.
The underlying mineral oxychloride chemistry was first explored in the early 1900s, but it could not be reliably measured or controlled until modern oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) instruments arrived in the late 20th century. That control point is what turned a promising reaction into a dependable, dose-managed treatment program.
Leadership
Charles leads Jenfitch as owner and General Manager, guiding both the research and marketing teams. His focus is turning advanced oxidation chemistry into treatment programs that plant operators can run reliably and affordably in the field.
What Makes Us Different
Jenfitch mineral oxychloride chemistry is the liquid chelation of minerals with oxygen. The oxygen atoms are weakly bound, so on contact the chemistry releases them to generate a family of reactive oxygen species (ROS) — superoxide, hydroxyl radical, singlet oxygen, hydroperoxyl, and peroxide. The result is an oxidation potential of 2.8–2.9 V, second only to fluorine and on par with the hydroxyl radical, and well above ozone (2.07 V), chlorine dioxide (1.57 V), and chlorine (1.36 V).
Because the program is managed by ORP, disinfection performance can be tied to a measurable target: roughly +600 mV corresponds to a disinfection barrier and +700 mV delivers a 6-log kill in under 10 seconds. That is what makes a century-old chemistry practical today.
Credentials
JC 9465 is registered under the federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (2020) for use as a disinfectant.
JC 9465 is certified under the USDA National Organic Program (2021, 7 CFR Part 205) for use in organic operations.
JC 9450 is NSF/ANSI Standard 60 certified for drinking-water treatment, with a maximum use dose of 84 mg/L.
Jenfitch chemistry is approved for USEPA water applications, supporting potable and reuse treatment programs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Jenfitch, Inc was founded in 2008 to manufacture and market next-generation water-treatment chemistry. Our JC 9450 mineral oxychloride technology was brought to market in 2013, and our EPA- and USDA-approved flagship disinfectant JC 9465 followed.
It is the liquid chelation of minerals with oxygen. The oxygen atoms are weakly bound, so on contact the chemistry releases them to generate reactive oxygen species with an oxidation potential of 2.8–2.9 V — ozone-class oxidation without having to dissolve a gas in water. The chemistry was first explored in the early 1900s but only became controllable with modern ORP instruments.
Jenfitch is led by owner and General Manager Charles Jennings, who oversees the research and marketing teams.
Yes. JC 9465 is EPA FIFRA registered (2020) and USDA/NOP Organic certified (2021, 7 CFR Part 205), and Jenfitch chemistry is USEPA water approved. JC 9450 is NSF/ANSI Standard 60 certified with a maximum use dose of 84 mg/L.
We serve utilities, industry, agriculture, food and produce, and oil & gas — spanning drinking water, water reuse, wastewater, cooling and scrubber systems, and food safety.
