Exhibit 99.01
WATERCHEF PROJECTS RECEIVE UNITED NATIONS CERTIFICATION
GLEN HEAD, N.Y.--Sept. 22, 2004--David A. Conway, President and Chief Executive
Officer, WaterChef, Inc. announced today that WaterChef's application for
certification and consultative status with the International Multiracial Shared
Cultural Organization (IMSCO), an NGO Specialized with the Economic and Social
Council of the United Nations, has been granted in accordance with Article 2.
(e) of the IMSCO Constitution and in compliance with the relevant provisions of
the United Nations Charter regarding appropriate relations with United Nations
non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
As a consequence of this approval, WaterChef has received official United
Nations certification for its proposals to deploy the PureSafe Water Station to
alleviate drinking water problems in Bangladesh and Honduras. Application has
been made to humanitarian funding sources for the funds needed for the
successful execution of these projects, and though UN certification was required
for the application process, to date there has been no commitment for funding
from any funding source.
The PureSafe Water Station is a self-contained, six-stage water purification
system that produces up to 15,000 gallons of clean, healthy water per day from
any source. The PureSafe destroys all living pathogens and handles a broad range
of organic and inorganic water contaminants, producing pure water for less than
half a penny per gallon. In addition to the core version of the PureSafe Water
Station, WaterChef also markets versions of the PureSafe that provide up to
125,000 gallons per day, and units for ocean water desalination, heavy metals
removal and the remediation of arsenic contaminated water.
WaterChef, Inc. (OTCBB: WTER) has been in business since 1993 and designs and
markets the PureSafe family of products. The Company is headquartered in Glen
