AQA Aquacell Technologies

Company Provides Solution to January 2006 EPA Arsenic Regulation Compliance With Zero Wastewater Discharge RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., Sept. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AquaCell Technologies, Inc. (AMEX:AQA) a company that markets and manufactures various water filtration and purification products including applications for municipal, industrial and commercial use, announced today that its Aquacell Water, Inc. subsidiary has received its first order for its arsenic removal system for a municipal water supplier. Additionally, pilot tests for the Company's proprietary arsenic removal systems are being conducted in Arizona, California, Nevada and New Mexico, areas that are known to have excessive arsenic levels in drinking water. By January 23, 2006 municipal water systems must be in compliance with the new 10ppb standard of arsenic levels in accordance with EPA regulations, which were reduced from 50ppb. It is estimated that compliance will cost municipalities billions of dollars to upgrade their water systems. According to US Water News Online, in Oklahoma alone, estimates range from $55 billion to $163 billion to replace or upgrade the 25 systems to address the lower arsenic standard. Aquacell Water, Inc. provides a proprietary water treatment system that can remove arsenic from municipal water systems with zero wastewater discharge providing a more cost effective way of complying with the new federally imposed regulations. Aquacell Water's systems are designed to operate with minimal operator interface, require no onsite chemicals and have lower capital and operating costs than competing systems. Robert L. Roberts, Vice President of Engineering and Sales of Aquacell Water, Inc. stated, "We are pleased to be a part of resolving the issues surrounding excessive arsenic levels and are well positioned to aggressively work towards capturing a share of this multi-billion market with our proprietary system." As previously announced, AquaCell Technologies, Inc., intends to spin off Aquacell Water, Inc to its shareholders upon SEC approval of the Form 10 Registration Statement, anticipated in Fall 2005.
