"[Note: Carl Palmer's company has previously marketed a filtration water bottle, but according to Paul Peccianti, our company now has the EXCLUSIVE distribution rights on these bottles, which have also now been improved with Pi-Mag technologies.]
Rich, I came across an interview of Carl Palmer, the inventor of our new PiMag bottle. The following are just a few excerpts of Mr. Palmer's interview that I found relevant and it speaks volumes about the kind of person he is. The article/transcript was dated 11/00.

Let me read just one of the hundreds of quotes I have on file. This is from Paul Simon' s book, Tapped Out: "9,500 children a day die either because of lack of water or, more frequently, because of diseases caused by polluted water." I keep that statistic in mind everyday. Everyone at Seychelle does. We have created a product that can help save these children lost each and every day. We are now in the process of telling world governments, militaries, businesses and large nonprofit organizations about our solutions.
Bottles filled with water, often of questionable quality, cost as much as $1 per liter or more, equaling as much as $8 per gallon. That is more than the cost of a gallon of gas!
The recent reports out of New York citing that tainted bottled water hospitalized at least four people resulted in tremendous media coverage and public panic. A 200-page report published in February 1999 by the National Resources Defense Council, titled Bottled Water.Pure Drink or Pure Hype? concluded that bottled water quality assurance remains unsubstantiated in a large percentage of those products on the market. In the executive summary the report states, "About one-third of the bottled waters we tested contained significant contamination (i.e., levels of chemical or bacterial contaminants exceeding those allowed under state or industry guidelines) in at least one test." Add to that the deluge of millions of plastic bottles hitting our dump sites on a daily basis and the need for an alternative approach is obvious. Military, law enforcement officers, firefighters, rescue workers, and missionaries -- those who have to have water on the job, wherever they may be, can filter the water from any fresh water source available themselves, as needed. They're our second set of consumers.
The third area of consumption is disaster preparedness. During hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, fires -- every time a major disaster strikes, obtaining safe drinking water becomes a matter of life or death. Our portable system has even been tagged "survival in a bottle" because, during an emergency, you can fill it from a swimming pool, flood, toilet tank, or stored supply, and filter it for drinking. Every household should have one of our systems on hand for this life-and-death situation.
Another consumer is the foreign traveler. "Don't drink the water" is a warning derived from experience. Anyone who travels should filter the water everywhere they go, and for everything they need: brushing teeth; washing the face; washing hands. Cruise ships and travel agents should make available the bottle as a safety precaution. There is no need to lose valuable time when traveling for business or pleasure due to stomach aliments (i.e., dysentery) caused by waterborne contaminants lurking in questionable drinking water sources. Also, the health conscious know that water of an unknown quality can have a direct affect on their health. They are concerned about taste, odor, safety and quality. They are aware that filtration delivers great-tasting water that is clear, odorless, and up to 99.8% free of harmful contaminants, including toxic chemicals from industry and agriculture that are commonly found in drinking water, such as lead, chlorine, Trihalomethanes, TCE and MtBE.
