AquaCell and Connecticut Water Service sign distribution agreement for purific water coolers
AquaCell Technologies,
Inc. and Connecticut Water Service, Inc. announced
today that they have signed a distribution agreement whereby Connecticut
Water Service’s wholly owned subsidiary, New England Water Utility
Services, Inc. will offer AquaCell’s patented self-filling Purific®
Water Cooler to its customers and contact base.
”A recent
survey of our customers showed that 40% are not drinking tap water,
favoring bottled water or a point-of-use filtration system instead,”
said Mr. Marshall T. Chiaraluce, Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Connecticut Water Service. “While we know that we provide
a reliable supply of high quality drinking water that meets all state
and federal drinking water standards, we recognize that many people
are sensitive to the taste of chlorine that is used to keep tap water
safe. We see AquaCell’s Purific Water Cooler as the perfect solution
for those customers who prefer chlorine free drinking water without
compromising quality.”
Mr. Chiaraluce continued,
“Our Company has a history of success in developing specific unregulated
niche business built around our core competencies of treating and delivering
a reliable supply of high quality water. We anticipate our strategic
partnering for distribution of the Purific Water Cooler will facilitate
expansion of unregulated business offerings. We believe that the Purific
coolers’ extensive filtration system, coupled with the permanently
attached five-gallon bottle allows us to offer a product far superior
to any other point-of-use water cooler system.”
Mr. James C. Witham,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AquaCell said, “We are
thrilled to be partnering with Connecticut Water Service as we recognize
that they are a highly innovative company. Both we, and our marketing
partner Corbett Water Technologies, view this as an excellent opportunity
to obtain significant distribution. We recognize that our arrangement
with Connecticut Water Service gives expanded endorsement of both AquaCell
and the Purific cooler.”
Mr. Witham continued,
“This agreement opens up a whole new market for us and supports
our belief that progressive public water companies recognize that some
of their customers are interested in a convenient, chlorine free product
that does not compromise on tap water safety. We believe that Connecticut
Water will be highly successful in its distribution of our Purific Water
Cooler, since they have a reputation for offering quality products and
service to its customers.”
Initially, Connecticut Water will be offering only the flagship Purific
model 500UV, and initial sales will focus on commercial customers, that
are looking to lower their costs for bottled water while eliminating
the hassle of changing heavy, clumsy bottles and the security concerns
associated with bottled water delivery.
Under the terms
of the agreement, AquaCell will provide Connecticut Water with specific
training for the installation and service of the Purific Water Cooler,
and Corbett Water Technologies will provide sales training.
