Pacific Sands' Hose Filter Sales Surge on Report Exposing Dangerous Levels of Lead in Garden Hoses
Unique Outdoor Water Filtration Product Removes Up to 98% of Many Common Toxins Including Lead
| Source: Pacific Sands, Inc.
RACINE, WI--(Marketwire - August 3, 2007) - Pacific Sands, Inc. (OTCBB : PFSD ) announced
today that the company has noted a recent spike in sales of its Pacific
Sands Hose Filter after an ABC news story found new garden hoses can leach
lead into water. Nearly 20 times the EPA's recognized 'safe' level of lead
was found in one instance.
Lead has been directly related to risk of brain damage, developmental
disabilities and other serious health problems for children.
The recent exposure of the potential for lead in garden hoses is
particularly troubling to parents who have been filling kiddie pools and
allowing their kids to drink from garden hoses. According to the Center for
Environmental Health, millions of children are potentially at risk from
lead exposure.
"I've been using our hose filter at home for years to reduce my daughter's
exposure to airborne chlorine (which has been linked to childhood asthma)
when she's playing in the sprinkler," said Pacific Sands President, Michael
Wynhoff. "I'm pleased that we can offer the same level of protection
against lead to concerned parents everywhere."
Pacific Sands encourages parents to buy lead-free hoses, always flush the
hose completely before allowing children to be exposed to the water and be
aware that their 'whole house' water filter generally bypasses their
outdoor water supply.
The Pacific Sands Hose Filter, which contains a proprietary blend of media
that removes multiple contaminants and lasts for up to 40,000 gallons, is
available at most pool and spa outlets that carry the ecoONE and Rain
Forest Blue lines of alternative pool and spa care products. Contact your
local retailer for availability or visit www.ecoone.biz to buy direct.
Retail outlets interested in adding the Pacific Sands Hose Filter to their
product line can contact PFSD National Sales manager, Bob Vineyard at
877-492-8123 or email BobV@PacificSandsInc.com.
