WaterPure International hosts TV news crew; local/national coverage of AWG expected during May sweeps
 
Ft. Lauderdale FL---March 10, 2008 –

WaterPure International, Inc. (OTCBB: WPUR) announces a major TV cable station sent a news crew to their Ft. Lauderdale offices to shoot a story about WaterPure’s Atmospheric Water Generators (AWGs). Water-cooler type devices, AWGs extract moisture from the atmosphere through a condensation process transforming the moisture into pure, healthy drinking water. The Company hosted a compelling presentation as the TV crew interviewed WaterPure corporate officers about various uses of AWGs during crises, drought and catastrophe situations.  The AWG news piece is expected to run during May sweeps week in a local DMA and could possibly be viewed nationally.
 
“We appear to be coming very popular. This news reporter and cameraman traveled over 200 miles on Wednesday to get our story. No wonder, since 36 states are predicting water shortages within five years, water rationing is imminent in some areas. Supplies of fresh water have been dramatically reduced and yet, we can help drought stricken communities by providing AWG drinking water for their townspeople. A single AWG unit draws water from the air supplying one person with more than enough pure clean water each day. When a number of AWGs are used in tandem, they could help to ease the burden even further. Expect to hear more about us,” notes Paul Lipschutz, Chairman of WaterPure International.
 
 About Atmospheric Water Generators (AWGs)
 
Depending on local electricity costs, a gallon of WaterPure fresh and delicious drinking water in its purest form costs about 8 cents to produce. The AWG extracts moisture from the atmosphere through a condensation process and transforms it creating absolutely pure, healthy drinking water. Multiple air and water filtration systems remove particulate matter smaller than .01 microns. Utilizing high intensity UV (ultra violet), it eliminates any microorganisms including bacteria and viruses. Test results of WaterPure water measured 99.9% purity, far exceeding EPA requirements. Operating on standard 110v power in the USA, it is extremely efficient and uses a minimal amount of energy to produce water. The unit requires no plumbing, water lines, or pipes and is easily installed. Driven by a microcomputer control system, it will stop generating water when full. The WaterPure purification system employs special filters to remove any unpleasant tastes or odor that may be present in the air.
