astrea(TM) ONE Becomes First Bottle Certified to Reduce Lead
Clean water innovator HaloSource Corporation announces today
that its astrea(TM) ONE filtering water bottle has become the first
bottle in the world to be certified to the NSF/ANSI53 ("NSF53")
standard for lead reduction. This is a significant milestone for
the Company, as it has officially received notification of
certification from the Water Quality Association (WQA) for its
patent-pending technology and innovative astrea(TM) ONE filtering
water bottle. Official certification documentation of the
astrea(TM) ONE bottle can be viewed at:

HaloSource CEO James Thompson commented, "This is a huge
milestone for HaloSource and for the astrea(TM) brand, as this
certification represents a culmination of over 18 months of work by
both our technical and commercial teams. Until now, no product
existed that could offer a portable solution for lead reduction to
the NSF53 standard, the most rigorous certification standard for
lead reduction. We are very proud of this effort to launch the
first water bottle in the world that delivers the performance
necessary to pass the NSF53 certification for lead reduction,
bringing a superior solution to consumers and offering unparalleled
protection from common everyday contaminants that can be found in
tap water. With the growing number of reports of lead in drinking
water across the US, there is now a solution with this next
generation reusable water bottle."
"The NSF53 standard is significant because it mandates a maximum
allowable value of 10 parts per billion (lower than the EPA action
limit) and requires that the testing be performed at two specific
pH values. This is important because the pH of water can vary
depending on the source and the physical form of lead (soluble or
insoluble) changes depending on water characteristics, with pH
having the primary impact. The innovative technology in the
astrea(TM) ONE is robust enough to remove both soluble and
insoluble lead at both pH 6.5 and 8.5, while offering users a great
drinking experience. By certifiying to NSF53, we are giving our
customers the assurance that our product is tested to the highest
possible standard and is effective at removing both forms of lead
to levels at or below the EPA established standard safe for
consumption", said Christopher Ashley, PhD, the Company's Director
of Commercialization.
The Company's astrea(TM) ONE bottle has also received the NSF53
certification for the reduction of copper, cadmium, mercury,
trivalent chromium and benzene, as well as the NSF42 certification
for the reduction of chlorine and zinc. The bottle concluded a
successful Indiegogo crowdfund campaign earlier this year, and
remains available for pre-order on the platform's InDemand site at
https://igg.me/at/astrea. The bottle is also expected to be
available in all Sur La Table retail stores as well as on the
Company's own website, astreawater.com, later this month.
