HAYDEN, ID, June 13, 2007 -- Blue Water Technologies Inc. announced today they have been selected as the exclusive distributor in the United States for the Salsnes Filter. Salsnes, a 15-year old company headquartered in Norway, has hundreds of installations around the world.

The Salsnes Filter is an exciting new product for primary treatment in a wastewater plant. The filter removes 60% TSS and 30% BOD. This system has a very small footprint and is easy to install and operate. The filter system solves a critical problem in the wastewater industry, increasing capacity. The capital and operation costs of the filter are extremely attractive in comparison to other options for increasing a treatment plant's capacity.

The Norwegian company, headed by Ivar Solvi, has a dozen installations in Canada but only a couple in the US. Blue Water will roll out four pilot units in 2007.

Blue Water has assigned Bob Meyers as the Salsnes Product Manager. More information on Blue Water and the Salsnes Filter, including independent engineering reports and case studies, can be found on the company's website: www.blueh2o.net.
