HydroFlo's Mission to Provide Clean Water to the World Is Confirmed by the Wall Street Journal

HydroFlo, Inc. (OTC BB: HYRF) has always believed that water is the most vital element on earth. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Water Worries Start to Gain Attention, validates HydroFlo's mission to locate, develop, and fund innovative technologies and businesses that make pure water available to the world. It cites water as "the oil of the 21st Century" and goes on to explain that about 1.8 million people die from diseases each year that potentially could be prevented with clean water and sanitation.

HydroFlo research, like many of the world's scholars believe that water can overcome hunger, disease, poverty, and improve the overall quality of life on earth. WSJ's article further confirms these principal beliefs. "The need for clean water knows no borders," explains Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. HydroFlo has patented products to remove dangerous contaminants from the use of pedal power to solar power. The Company has established a core product base that can ensure that everyone in the world, with limited access to clean water, can obtain it in abundance.

Since 1986, the EPA has tripled the number of contaminants it regulates, bringing the total to 94. EPA inspectors are aggressively monitoring and citing water systems for non-compliance with regulations. Kyoto and other world health organizations are also making demands on countries to ensure clean water for all of their residents. Even members of the U.S. Senate are, "backing a bill to make access to safe water and sanitation a higher priority for U.S. foreign aid and to authorize a pilot project to help countries with lots of water-borne illness[es]."

HydroFlo CEO, Dennis L. Mast, commented, "The article in the Wall Street Journal affirms management's long standing belief in the market potential of the Company and the need for clean water for the world. HydroFlo is excited to be a Company that is on the cutting edge of clean water technology."
