RACINE, Wis., Jan. 14, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Pacific Sands, Inc (OTCBB:PFSD) is pleased to announce the addition of the EcoOne Spa(TM) Pre-Filter to the company's expanding portfolio of pool and spa water treatment products.
"Until now, there has been no readily available, inexpensive and chemical free solution to the problems with the initial water a consumer puts in their spa," stated Pacific Sands president and CEO Michael Wynhoff. "We've come up with an inexpensive solution that assures consistent initial water quality in every spa from Seattle to New York."
The company believes that spa manufacturers and dealers will be particularly enthusiastic about this product.
"Our market research and experience demonstrates that the majority of customer support issues for manufacturers and retailers rise from poor initial water quality," Michael Michie, Pacific Sands VP of Sales and Marketing added. "Initial issues such as green water, metal content and most problems resulting from well water will be eliminated, saving precious customer support time and money."
Pacific Sands sales representatives have been very impressed with the potential for this new product to pave the way to new dealerships and distributors for the entire EcoOne line. "To date, every spa dealer we've spoken to has expressed a desire to carry the pre-filter," added Mr. Michie. "Where the education and sales cycle for the EcoOne Spa Treatment System can be between three and six months, for pre-filter it's minutes."
The EcoOne(TM) Spa Pre-filter attaches directly to a garden hose and removes most common water contaminants including heavy metals, hydrogen sulfide, chlorine, VOCs, lime and bacteria while maintaining a flow rate of 2GPM or more for up to 8,000 gallons of water.
The EcoOne Spa Pre-Filter will be available in March at an MSRP of $39.95 and the company is currently accepting pre-orders. Interested parties should contact Michael Michie at 877-492-8123 or email Michael.Michie@pacificsandsinc.com.
