Gentlemen:

I have acted as special counsel to Flexible Solutions International, Inc., a
Nevada corporation (the "Corporation"), in connection with the offering of
1,325,800 shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to stock option agreements with
consultants, employees and directors. The offering of the shares is to be made
pursuant to Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Registration Statement").

I have acted as special counsel to the Corporation in connection with the
issuance of shares.

Please be advised that I am of the opinion that the Corporation's Common Stock
to be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement has been duly authorized by
the Corporation. The Common Stock when issued in accordance with the terms of
the stock option agreements will be validly issued by the Corporation and fully
paid and non-assessable.

We consent to the use of our name in the Registration Statement in the section
of the Prospectus entitled "Legal Matters" and the filing of this letter as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement.

                                                 Yours very truly,



                                                 s/JOEL BERNSTEIN, ESQ., P.A.
