astrea(TM) Bottle Passes Rigorous Testing for Lead Reduction
May 21, 2018, (SEATTLE, WA) - Clean water innovator HaloSource
Corporation ("HaloSource" or the "Company") announces today that
its astrea(TM) water bottle has successfully completed testing
which will enable certification of the bottle to the NSF 53
standard for lead reduction in the second half of 2018. This is a
significant milestone for the Company, its patent-pending
technology and for consumers, as the bottle will offer
"best-in-class" protection from lead contamination and is expected
to be the only bottle in the world certified to the NSF53 standard
for lead reduction.
HaloSource CEO James Thompson commented, "While other filtering
bottles make lead removal claims, there is presently no other
bottle on the market that offers the performance of our astrea
bottle when it comes to lead reduction. There is a substantial
difference between claiming a reduction of lead and being able to
pass the rigorous test conditions required to achieve the NSF/ANSI
53 standard. With lead showing up in water systems in cities across
America such as Newark, Oakland, Pittsburgh and, most recently,
Chicago, consumers are looking for better ways to protect
themselves. We see the astrea bottle as the next generation of
reusable bottle, providing users with confidence in the safety of
the water they drink from it."
"The NSF/ANSI 53 standard 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
critical because the pH of water (which varies according to the
source) impacts the water characteristics, which affects the
physical form of lead (soluble or insoluble). Our technology is
robust enough to remove both soluble and insoluble lead at both pH
6.5 and 8.5. By testing to NSF/ANSI 53, we will give 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 bottle has also passed testing for mercury,
chlorine and zinc reduction, and is expected to be certified for
these additional contaminants when the product is commercially
available later this year. The bottle concluded a successful
Indiegogo crowdfund campaign earlier this month, and remains
available for pre-order on the platform's InDemand site at
