Pacific Sands' Hose Filter Sales Surge on Report Exposing Dangerous Levels of Lead in Garden Hoses

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.
