HERO WATER ANNOUNCES LIFE SAVING PRODUCTS
ONCE ONLY AVAILABLE TO GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
NOW IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC

San Francisco, Calif. (October 09, 2008) – Hero Water, an emergency water solutions company, today announced at their life saving product line will now be available for purchase to the public.  Until just recently, the Hero Water product line was only available to government agencies, like the US military, the Red Cross and FEMA in emergency and survival situations.

After Hurricane Katrina, decimated New Orleans, Louisiana, Hero Water’s emergency water products were issued to emergency personnel in the some of the most critical areas where traditional emergency services and supplies were unavailable.  As a result, the emergency water filtration systems received critical acclaim for their effectiveness in the field, reliability of design and ease of use by many of the emergency personnel.

“I’m Rick Arnold.  I was the US Air Force’s Chief survival expert from 2001 to 2004 training pilots in survival skills, said Rick Arnold, Chief Master Sergeant, USAF (ret).  “I like the fact that the new LifePackTM water filter is now available to the public.  It will work on virtually any water supply, even muddy or brackish water, although obviously you want to try to use it on the cleanest water you can.”

Hero Water’s products make it possible to get clean drinking water from any natural liquid! From the mud puddle in your back yard to even disease-contaminated water and in as little as 2 minuets you will start getting clean drinking water. Imagine doing this without pumping, external power, mechanical parts or purifying chemicals.

“When I meet with governmental health and emergency management professionals around the world, I recommend they stock this water technology,” said LT General PK Carlton, MD, Surgeon General USAF (ret).  “The ability to provide clean water in any situation, with no moving parts, with no complicated formula, with no power required, is absolutely a phenomenal breakthrough.  This technology is so stone cold simple, that anyone can use it, we can air-drop it into situations and it provides a lifeline that is critical to survival in emergency situations.”

Forward Osmosis Technology:

Hero Water's suite of emergency water filtration products utilize a proprietary membrane filter that is hydrophilic (attracts water), allows water to pass through, yet blocks very small contaminants due to the tight construction of the membrane.

The water driven across the membrane, not by hydraulic pressure, but by osmotic pressure created by a standard sport drink fluid on the clean side of the membrane together produce an electrolyte mixture that provides the body with necessary vitamins and nutrients that are loss due to dehydration and consumption in highly stressful situations.

Because our systems use osmotic pressure instead of hydraulic pressure, our products do not have the clogging or fouling problems inherent to other filtration systems. Even highly turbid water, such as those found in the foulest ditch, will not clog our products (tested to 800 ntu).

Whereas conventional hand pump systems only filter to the 0.1 Micron level, Hero water’s products are two hundred times more accurate filtering at the .0005 Micron level (5 Angstroms). Because our membrane is so tight, our products offer fluid purity on par with even complicated and expensive Reverse Osmosis systems at a fraction of the cost.
