Seychelle Environmental Technologies Offers EPA Registered Chlorine Purification
Tablets to Meet Need for Safe, Dependable Drinking Water During Hurricane and Storm
Season
EPA-approved (Reg. #35917) Redi-Chlor tablets complement Seychelle water filtration
product line and provide relief to victims at risk of drinking water contaminated with
harmful bacteria and virus.
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif., May 22, 2006 — With the threat of another Katrina-like
hurricane and storm season looming, water concerns are at the forefront. One of the most
devastating results of any natural disaster is a lack of safe drinking water. Seychelle
Environmental Technologies, Inc. (Pink Sheets: SYEV) today announced the addition of
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved Redi-Chlor water purifier tablets to its
extensive water filtration product line. When used with Seychelle’s industry-leading
water filtration products, the tablets produce safe, pure and inexpensive drinking water
anytime, anywhere.
“There is a tremendous difference between infected and disinfected water,”
said Carl Palmer, founder, president and chief executive officer of Seychelle Environmental
Technologies Inc. “Water infected with bacteria or virus can cause a range of health
issues from minor illness to acute, life-threatening disease. The most insidious
contaminants are those we can’t often detect just by look or smell. For questionable
water, filtration is not enough; the water must be disinfected to assure that it is truly
safe. Our new Redi-Chlor tablets enable us to provide consumers, missionaries and militaries
with an inexpensive, complete water purification solution that complements our other
EPA-approved (Reg. #71426) Iodinated Resin disinfectant media.”
According to the independent, nonpartisan think-tank Pacific Institute, more than 76 million
people will perish from preventable water-related disease by 2020 unless urgent action is
taken (Dirty Water: Estimated Deaths from Water-Related Diseases 2000-2020). The report also
finds that more lives are at stake from water-related disease than the global AIDS pandemic,
and children will be the primary victims. While a global solution to the water crisis has
not emerged, Seychelle offers a solution that individuals can use to protect themselves
today.
By using Redi-Chlor tablets in combination with Seychelle water filtration products, source
water is purified, leaving the consumer with safe, great-tasting drinking water with no
chlorine aftertaste.
U.S.-made Redi-Chlor tablets are comprised of dry chlorine that is registered with the EPA
for use in disinfecting drinking water. Each Redi-Chlor tablet is designed to disinfect up
to 5 gallons of water. The tablets can be used across Seychelle’s line of countertop,
in-line, pitcher, portable and pump filtration products because they are double-scored to
enable consumers to split the tablets to disinfect smaller quantities of water. With as
little as one-eighth of a tablet, consumers can disinfect up to 1.5 gallons of water for
mere pennies.
Redi-Chlor tablets are individually sealed, and a box of 30, purifying up to 150 gallons of
water, retails for $6.95. They are now available through dealers, distributors and www.seychelle.com.
