FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Triton® EP recently debuted at the National Hurricane Conference in Orlando, Florida
Napa, CA May 18, 2006: PRISMEDICAL the maker of MainStream®, the only FDA cleared water purification device to produce US Pharmacopeia sterile water in a handheld, portable, gravity driven and point-of-use device, introduces the Triton EP Personal Water Purification Unit capable of producing up to 55 gallons (200 liters or 440 pounds) of highly pure water for emergencies or outdoor use, without power, pumping or chemicals.
Triton EP's 1.2 pound size and five year shelf life means emergency preparedness agencies and families planning for emergencies can easily transport and store Triton EP, and not have to worry about recycling stored water which becomes unsafe over time; (FEMA recommends changing stored emergency water every 6 months).
When a water emergency occurs or a water contamination alert goes out, Triton EP simply makes the water the user needs when and where they need it from practically any non-brackish surface water available (tap/hose, swimming pools, lakes, river & streams, etc.).
With Triton EP, a family of four can produce all of their emergency water needs for drinking, cooking and personal hygiene for approximately 10 days. Triton EP removes bacteria, bacterial toxins, viruses, particulates, dissolved metals (lead, arsenic chromium, etc.) and chemicals harmful to human health.
Water interruption emergencies are frequently associated with hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, fires and other natural disasters. Notably, the "boil water alert" implemented after Hurricane Katrina, was lifted in New Orleans more than seven months after it was initiated.
"We believe the market for Triton EP is enormous, given consumers' interest in protecting their families in an emergency. Triton EP is an ideal product to provide the consumer the peace of mind they need regarding access to a pure water supply, when and where they need it, in an emergency," said Stephen E. Pazian, Chairman, President and CEO of PRISMEDICAL.
"We have had an overwhelmingly positive response from federal, state and local emergency preparedness agencies responsible for providing clean water supplies, among other services, in an emergency situation," he added. "These agencies know first hand the logistics nightmare that accompanies attempts to store and then distribute water and they quickly see how Triton EP provides a practical solution," he said.
Triton EP currently retails through PRISMEDICAL's web site (www.PRISMEDICAL.com) for $139, with government and distributor pricing available upon request. PRISMEDICAL is working with mass retailers, who serve the emergency preparedness, home and industrial safety and outdoor enthusiast markets, to distribute the Triton product.
