Purfresh Selected by New England Water Company to Provide Chemical Free Solution for High Quality Water Products

Pequawket Water Company will use ozone disinfection system in its Fryeburg Facility

Livermore, Calif. – Jan. 17, 2008 – Purfresh, formerly known as Novazone, Inc., a leading provider of clean solutions for food and water, announced today that Pequawket Water Company has installed Purfresh’s ozone disinfection system to process millions of gallons of Bulk Maine Spring Water annually in its state-of-the-art facility in Fryeburg, Maine.  The installation of Purfresh’s ozone system will assure safety and consistency of Pequawket’s product without the use of harmful chemicals. 

“Consumer demand for bottled water that doesn’t use toxic chemicals or preservatives is growing rapidly,” said David Cope, president and CEO of Purfresh, Inc.  “Purfresh satisfies this growing demand with the most natural water purification system available. Pequawket Water Company joins our hundreds of customers around the world in putting chemical-free solutions for clean water to use.”

 “Pequawket is committed to providing our customers with the highest quality spring water available,” said John Murphy, general manager of Pequawket. “We chose Purfresh because of the unique equipment design and features, particularly the modular cells which allow for capacity expansion and redundancy.  In addition the Purfresh system uses thermal electric cooling, which mitigates cooling waste streams and disposal issues.”

Purfresh’s ozone control system for water purification and disinfection provides bottlers with a completely integrated solution to efficiently apply ozone to treat water, bottles and bottle caps. Targeted doses of ozone effectively kill bacteria, purify water and then quickly dissolve into oxygen. Purfresh’s automatic monitoring and control system maintains precise ozone concentrations as well as other processing conditions, becoming a true partner in operations. Additionally, system components are modular and standardized to minimize maintenance costs and allow multiple applications to be supported from one system. 

Mr. Murphy continued, “Purfresh’s technology provides us with a simple way to continuously monitor our spring water product, delivering the safest, purest spring water possible.  We have been very impressed with the support during installation and the equipment’s seamless operation.”
