BLAINE, WA, June 09, 2009 - Purio Inc. (OTCBB: PURO) - PURIO PROVES SEWAGE TO SAFE WATER; NEW LAB REPORT CONFIRMS
Purio (OTCBB: PURO) is pleased to report that it has received the independent lab analysis report on the Campbell River, BC Showcase sewage samples obtained during operations on the weekend of May 24th, 2009. During the Showcase the transportable water purification system drew its influent from a wastewater septic tank into which city sewage had been transported. The Purio system, which uses no membrane filters or chlorine, and uses no delicate biological process once again demonstrated its remarkable capability in clarifying and sanitizing sewage to safe disposal guidelines (and beyond) as summarized below.
"Purio is a company with an attitude," smiles Earl Switenky, Purio Chairman, "that is, a completely different attitude, compared to conventional waste-water treatment systems in use today. Purio sees residential wastewater as a precious resource rather than a nuisance to be disposed of. Our company sees sewage being made up of about 95% pure water, mixed with organic materials and pathogens. The organic materials may themselves be used for composting or fertilizer. The process that we've developed simply separates the components very efficiently and kills the pathogens in a single pass, producing water of a high quality that is recyclable, not simply disposable."
Leonard Girard, Chief Science Officer with Purio explains some of the terms used in the Lab Analysis. "pH refers to the alkalinity (higher pH) or acidity (lower pH) of water, a pH of 7 is considered neutral; the closer the output water is to 7 the less detrimental effect it has on the receiving waters to which it is released. Turbidity refers to the cloudiness of water caused by both dissolved and suspended particles. At 150 NTU's the water is very cloudy and at the 0.4 NTU level it is as clear as tap-water. Suspended Solids refers to the amount of material that is mixed in the water but not dissolved. It causes cloudiness and is related to the turbidity. Biological Oxygen Demand refers to the amount of oxygen that the wastewater would consume if it were released into a pond or stream and the organic compounds contained in it were allowed to decompose there. High numbers mean high oxygen consumption that would kill fish and other aquatic animal life forms. Chemical Oxygen Demand refers to the same phenomenon but is specific to inorganic compounds that consume oxygen when they decompose. Nitrogen and Phosphorus are nutrients which may cause algae blooms that upset the natural balance of a marine bios stem to the detriment of wildlife. E. coli, and fecal coliforms are bacteria which cause serious illness or death to humans who ingest them. Most open water discharge standards do not require total sterility, however the Purio system is designed to strive for absolute sterility in order to maximize the safety of our discharge water to animal life and humans."
Daryl English, Purio President, says, "The Purio Technology has, once again, proven an even higher level of capability in managing the world's water crisis. Observers of this demonstration potentially represented commercial and humanitarian prospective clients from several places around the globe including the UK, Middle East, Africa, India and China. Recent feedback from international visitors indicates a strong interest in developing business relationships in the major markets of the world including China. Talks have already begun to determine the details of Purio's entry into these giant populations."
The lab tested some 22 organic, inorganic and bacteriological analytes and the table below summarizes some of the most critical ones, again proving the powerful effectiveness of the Purio System.

Vancouver, British Columbia May 14, 2009 - Purio Inc. (OTCBB: PURO) - PURIO INC. ANNOUNCES PRODUCTION MODEL DESIGN UNDERWAY
Purio is pleased to announce that it is embarking on the design and subsequent construction of its production model water/wastewater clarifier/sanitizer.
Leonard Girard, Chief Science Officer for Purio describes some of the features of the production unit. "Our extensive testing of the Purio process in our remarkable demonstrator unit, under very challenging conditions has produced a collection of data that is important to the design of this model. The through-put capacity is targeted to improve by as much as 25% and the clarification process will be even more efficient. Energy consumption has been reduced and all these improvements will be accomplished without appreciably increasing the small footprint of the skid. As with the production of any mechanical technology, such as the aircraft or automobile industry, we will incorporate the tweaks in the system which will produce improvements in our technology's already impressive performance."
"Lab tests of previous operations of the Purio demonstrator model, when applied to wastewater treatment, have shown that the unique process goes well beyond conventional wastewater treatment technology," continues Girard. "The following table, based on those test results, is a summary of many of the important comparative advantages of the Purio Process as compared to conventional approaches to wastewater treatment."

Vancouver, British Columbia April 14, 2009 - Purio Inc. (OTCBB: PURO) - PURIO PROCESSES SEWAGE TO SAFE WATER; LAB REPORTS CONFIRM
Purio is pleased to report that it has received the independent lab analysis report on the Campbell River, BC Showcase sewage samples obtained during operations on the weekend of March 21st, 2009. During the Showcase the transportable water purification system drew its influent from a wastewater septic tank. Even under these most demanding circumstances, the Purio system, which uses no membrane filters or chlorine, and uses no delicate biological process demonstrated its remarkable capability in clarifying and sanitizing sewage to safe disposal guidelines (and beyond) as summarized below.
Leonard Girard, Chief Science Officer with Purio explains just how challenging this septic-tank source of wastewater was. "In an October 2008 demonstration of the Purio technology, which impressed the world with its processed residential wastewater, we pumped directly out of a residential sewer manhole. In terms of the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) loading, the recent septic tank sample, reported on here, is over 3.5 times more concentrated than the sewer manhole sample; similarly the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) of the septic tank sample was about 3.4 times more concentrated. Total Suspended Solids in the septic tank sample was over 48 times higher than that in the sewer manhole. The Bacteria load of 14 million Total Coliform Bacteria per 100 mL (about a third of a cup) showed the septic sample highly contaminated with pathogens. In our ever-growing quest for excellence, we decided to rise to the challenge of processing the septic tank sample so that we may learn more about the Purio technology's capabilities under the most demanding situations. I must say that the impressive Lab Test results of this exercise not only give us a sense of reward, but they also encourage us to strive even higher."
Girard continues, "Our unit was set to process about 2650 USG (10,000 liters) per day and is equipped with on-board testing monitors which display water quality parameters in real-time along the treatment train during operation. Our monitors showed that the water produced was clear, bacteria-free and sanitary. Purio's plant operators are no strangers to sipping the product water, and on this occasion, several on-lookers joined the "taster's club" and drank the crystal clear water."
Earl Switenky, Purio Chairman says, "The Purio Technology has proven an even higher level of capability in managing the world's water crisis, and we are pleased to have been observed in this demonstration by local and international parties representing both commercial and humanitarian interests."
In layman terms the interpretation of the treatment results are as follows: pH refers to the alkalinity (higher pH) or acidity (lower pH) of water, a pH of 7 is considered neutral; the closer the output water is to 7 the less detrimental effect it has on the receiving waters to which it is released. Turbidity refers to the cloudiness of water caused by both dissolved and suspended particles. At 150 NTU's the water is very cloudy and at the 0.4 NTU level it is as clear as tap-water. Suspended Solids refers to the amount of material that is mixed in the water but not dissolved. It causes cloudiness and is related to the turbidity. Biological Oxygen Demand refers to the amount of oxygen that the wastewater would consume if it were released into a pond or stream and the organic compounds contained in it were allowed to decompose there. High numbers mean high oxygen consumption that would kill fish and other aquatic animal life forms. Chemical Oxygen Demand refers to the same phenomenon but is specific to inorganic compounds that consume oxygen when they decompose. Nitrogen and Phosphorus are nutrients which may cause algae blooms that upset the natural balance of a marine biosystem to the detriment of wildlife. E. coli, and fecal coliforms are bacteria which cause serious illness or death to humans who ingest them. Most open water discharge standards do not require total sterility, however the Purio system is designed to strive for absolute sterility in order to maximize the safety of our discharge water to animal life and humans.

Blaine Wa December 19, 2008 - PURIO TO ASSESS MARKETING AND MANUFACTURING FACILITIES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Purio executives Joseph Swanson and Earl Switenky have accepted the invitation of a British Columbia manufacturing firm to visit its facilities on Vancouver Island during the week of December 15th 2008.
"The purpose of the visit is threefold," says Mr. Swanson. "We know that there is an immediate demand for our equipment throughout British Columbia. The region is experiencing an increasing demand for real estate development and many of the most desirable areas are not serviced with water and wastewater infrastructure. This area boasts some of the most beautiful alpine and ocean side real estate in North America and the difficulty of servicing these new developments with conventional treatment systems is severe. Numerous development proposals are for island settings where each location is a stand-alone project. A number of developments are being held up by regulatory bodies simply because they are not able to provide water and wastewater services. We feel that the Purio technology is ideal in addressing the needs of these developers. One of our objectives in the tour is to determine the ways in which Purio equipment may be deployed to service these developments."
"Second on our list of goals is to select a suitable location at which to set up our treatment system in order to demonstrate it and gather performance data in order to obtain the permits required to operate our wastewater treatment equipment in British Columbia," continues Mr. Swanson. This process will be valuable to us in that it will give us first-hand information that we require in order to custom design our equipment to best serve that market."
"Our third objective in the tour is to determine the suitability of a proposed manufacturing facility in the region," says Earl Switenky. "We've found experienced entrepreneurs in that region who have proposed to both market our technology and manufacture our products. They are intimately familiar with different aspects of real estate development and are already involved in manufacturing to serve that industry. One advantage of the location of this market is that it's really just out our back door."

Blaine Wa December 18, 2008 - Purio / Malaysian Company Discuss Marketing And Manufacturing Arrangement
Purio is pleased to report that it is engaged in discussions regarding the marketing and manufacturing of its products in Malaysia. The Malaysian company states that the portability of the Purio equipment makes it ideal for the oil and gas exploration industry in that region because drilling rig personnel are housed in portable camps. The transportability of Purio equipment, whether the application be for drinking water purification, or wastewater treatment appears to be very suitable for this type of application.
Malaysia is strategically located to potentially supply to a broad market in Southeast Asia.
The country's historical roots go back to its formation from the union of a group of British colonies therefore its government is modeled after the British Parliamentary system. This Southeast Asian nation experienced an economic boom and underwent rapid development during the late 20th century with rapid growth averaging 8% from 1991 to 1997. Malaysia is strategically positioned as one of three countries that control the Strait of Malacca, therefore international trade plays a large role in its economy. It is a world-class producer of tin, rubber and palm-oil. Malaysia has a well developed manufacturing industry which has a significant influence in the country's economy.

Blaine Wa December 1, 2008 - PURIO'S MEETING WITH PRESIDENT'S MINISTER YIELDS PLAN FOR COMMERCE
Purio is pleased to report that the recent presentation of its technology to the Minister of Presidential Affairs of a leading West African country has resulted in a verbal invitation from the Minister to Purio to visit his country. The Minister's office will assist in fast-tracking the formal correspondence preceding the company's visit to that country in early 2009.
In the private meeting following the forum, with Purio Chairman Earl Switenky and President Daryl English, the Minister referred to the up-coming visit as "the next step" in reference to his Country's determination to offer safe drinking water and sanitation services to millions of residents who do not yet have access to them. He stated, for example, that in the country's capital city alone, two thirds of its one-million inhabitants are without a drinking water infrastructure. Since many areas of his country have abundant sources of surface water that is unsafe for human consumption, the Minister viewed Purio's modular transportable water purification system to be an obvious solution. The outcome of the up-coming visit would be the development of a plan which would have Purio equipment providing safe drinking water to his countrymen as soon as possible.
Numerous international aid agencies have committed safe drinking water development capital programs to West Africa.
"Because safe drinking water is a basic human need, we know that it is at the top of everyone's list of priorities." a spokesman stated. "We will work tirelessly to arrange the availability of Purio equipment to our country. We will focus on the health of our citizens so that through a strong and healthy people, we will develop a stronger country."
Daryl English, President of Purio, says, "This region of the world has some of the most unfortunate human statistics in the areas of mortality rates, especially in infants. A major reason for this is believed to be unsafe water. Every day counts in a situation like this and Purio is taking this invitation very seriously."
Earl Switenky, describes the situation as urgent, "We in North America may have water needs, but the region of West Africa is in water crisis! It is difficult to comprehend the magnitude of the hardship that millions of West Africans endure to get drinking water of any kind. Safe drinking water is rare so millions are forced to drink water that is loaded with disease pathogens and many succumb to its risks. Purio sees this opportunity as three-fold. First is the opportunity to provide affordable safe drinking water to millions of people; second is to plan to provide an industrial economic stimulus in that region through the future manufacturing, distribution and maintenance of our equipment, and third is the opportunity for Purio to develop a business presence in West Africa as we plan to reach out to the quickly developing Eastern Hemisphere."

Blaine Wa November 12, 2008 - GRAND OPENING OF PURIO'S DIRECT WATER DISTRIBUTION DIVISION SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER 15, 2008
Purio is pleased to report that it is in the final stages of setting up its first commercial outlet in Southern California. The mandate of the division DBA UltraSafe Water Source TM is to serve the growing number of business offices that wish to eliminate bottled water, aim to cut costs, eliminate the 5-gallon bottles from their operations, and do so with nothing to buy.
Daryl English, President of Purio, says, “North America is in the infancy of a major paradigm shift in the way business offices supply purified drinking water to their staffs and clients. We see it as a major up-coming trend and we see ourselves in a great position to profit from it. Businesses are motivated in many ways to take action and upgrade their office water service from bottle-style dispensers to modern point-of-use (POU) water purifiers and totally do away with bottled water delivery. The first motivation is cost cutting and we can often cut the monthly water budget by over 25%. Second is the convenience factor; by eliminating the plastic 5-gallon bottles, offices free up precious floor and storage space, and eliminate the risk of employee injury caused by the lifting of the 45 pound back-breakers. Our POU purifiers not only offer a fresher tasting, better quality water, compared to bottles because it’s not stored in plastic for weeks before consumption, but they also offer a greater production capacity so that businesses never more worry about running out of purified water. Couple that with the environmental care factor, whereby business can update their water service from the energy hungry, labor intensive and carbon producing delivery system of old fashioned bottles, and we are of the opinion that we are on the leading edge of a business boom.”
Mr. English cited cities like San Francisco, Chicago and Vancouver, British Columbia as examples of municipalities that have banned the use of bottled water in their facilities due to concerns over its affect on the environment as well as concerns about possible health risks recently revealed from studies of chemicals leaching from water bottles into the drinking water.
“These municipalities, and private corporations taking similar action are searching for the alternative service,” Mr. English continues. “Others may not be aware of improvements that they could make to there operations and that’s where we come in; our equipment, sourced right here in the USA totally eliminates the need for bottles by producing purified water right on the spot and on demand. On every factor considered; economy, convenience, water freshness, reliable supply and environmental care, we can offer our clients a significant improvement over the old system.”
“Most of our setting up is done, with warehouse and office space secured, inventory in stock and paid for,” Mr. English elaborates. Our website, which is a work-in-progress is live at www.ultrasafe.us.com and in the up-coming weeks we will be fine-tuning our marketing strategy to grow our business.”
Earl Switenky, spokesman for Purio Inc. and co-founder of UltraSafe Water Source, Canada, adds, “We have eight years of history and experience in this particular industry. Although economic times are changing, we are taking this initiative to develop an immediate cash flow for our company. We see the distribution of the new product line as synergistic with the commercialization of our patented water clarification technology in that it adds a point of use technology for the consumer. The fact that we are distributing the new product separate from the patented technology simply allows us to accelerate our cash flow potential. Every indication of the size of this future trend is nearly staggering and we are determined to address it. We are not only doing it for our company, but we’re also doing it for the benefit of our business clients so together we may all do it for the better care of our beloved planet.”

Blaine Wa November 10 2008 - SEWAGE TO SAFE WATER – PURIO DOES IT ECONOMICALLY
Purio is pleased to report that it has received the first results of a two-section independent lab analysis on processed sewage samples obtained during its recent pilot test of their transportable water purification system. The Purio system, which uses no membrane filters or chlorine, exceeded expectations as summarized below.
“Over the past six months we have extensively tested and demonstrated our portable water clarifier/purifier on the production of safe drinking water from unsafe sources,” says Leonard Girard, Chief Science Officer with Purio. “Every demonstration, as previously reported, produced safe, delicious drinking water and so we have stepped up to the challenge of processing residential wastewater right out of a residential sewer manhole. Our objective was two-fold; first to prove that our patented process is able to decolorize, deodorize and disinfect raw sewage in order to exceed regulatory requirements for safe disposal into the environment, and second to attempt to produce a sanitary product water suitable for re-use in food irrigation, gardening and the like. Truthfully, we dreamed about but were not really expecting that our output water quality would reach potable standard so we’re elated with the results of that demonstration.”
Girard continues, “Our unit was set to process about 3250 USG (12,250 liters) per day and is equipped with on-board testing monitors which display water quality parameters in real-time along the treatment train during operation. Of course the most important area of concern was the unit’s ability to eliminate E.coli and coliform bacteria which present serious risk to human health if ingested. Our monitors, as well as the lab report, (from the same accredited lab which has assayed our previous samples) summarized below, both agree that the water produced was clear, bacteria-free and sanitary.”
Earl Switenky, spokesman for Purio Inc. says, “We have proven an even higher level of capability in managing the world’s water crisis. We have successfully coupled energy high-efficiency with remarkable results with no compromises. We have confirmed that our high quality, sanitary product water lends itself to processing through RO in order to qualify for the designation as “Purified Water”. The lab tested some 32 organic and inorganic analytes and the table below summarizes some of the most important ones which prove the powerful effectiveness of our clarifier and sanitizing chambers.”

September 25, 2008 - Lab Reports Confirm Purio Makes Safe Drinking Water From Dirty Pond
Blaine Wa Purio Inc (OTCBB: PURO)is pleased to report that it has received the first of two independent lab reports on water samples produced during its recent pair of demonstrations of their transportable water purification system. (see media release of Aug 11,2008)
"This lab report confirms results obtained from our on-board monitoring system," says Leonard Girard, Chief Science Officer with Purio. "Our first demonstration this season processed dirty water from an open pond located in a farming region of North Central Saskatchewan Canada during the hot mid-summer growing season. There were wild marsh plants and vegetation around the perimeter of the pond and wildlife such as waterfowl, insects and small animals in and around it. Our unit was set to process about 3250 USG (12,250 liters) per day. Our portable water clarification and purification unit is equipped with on-board testing monitors which display water quality parameters in real-time at several points along the treatment train during operation. These monitors gave us confidence that our unit was producing safe, aesthetically pleasing water at the time. Of course the most important area of concern is the unit's ability to eliminate E.coli and coliform bacteria which present serious risk to human health if ingested. Our monitors, as well as the accredited lab report (summarized below) both agree that the drinking water produced was clear, bacteria-free and sanitary."
Girard continues, "Pond water like this typically contains high levels of dissolved organic materials which could cause high levels of Trihalomethanes (commonly called THM's, such as Chloroform, many of which have been identified as carcinogens) if sanitized in conventional methods involving high levels of Chlorine or Chloramines. Our process, does not use Chlorine at all and therefore we are able to produce a THM-free, therefore safer, healthier drinking water."
Earl Switenky, spokesman for Purio Inc. says, "Our compact unit is able to produce safe drinking water without any membrane filtration. This money-saving factor coupled with our energy efficient process allows us to achieve such remarkable results while keeping our process cost low. The lab tested some 34 organic and inorganic analytes and the table below summarizes some of the most important ones which prove the powerful effectiveness of our clarifier and sanitizing chambers."

September 9, 2008 - Purio Receives Letter of Intent from Evergreen
Purio Receives Letter of Intent to Install Water and Wastewater Works
Purio Inc. is pleased to announce that it has received a letter of intent from Evergreen Estates Ltd., to build, install, commission and operate the water and sewage treatment facilities at their multi-phase 450 acre resort development in the beautiful parkland region of North-Central Saskatchewan Canada.
David Miner, Secretary for Evergreen Estates Ltd. specifies some of the reasons for Evergreen's selection of the Purio technology:
"Our development philosophy for the site is to provide an exceptional outdoors experience for the residents coupled with modern amenities while minimizing the impact of the development on the environment.
Your waste-water technology helps us to realize our vision for the development as it allows us to eliminate the need for the construction of a sewage lagoon and for sewage holding tanks on each lot. In doing so, we estimate that the installation of your technology will result in a capital cost savings of between 1 and 1.5 million dollars. The fact that your sewage treatment system will eliminate the odors normally associated with a lagoon system is a very important aesthetic benefit, and the small footprint of your system allows us to use land we already own rather than acquiring additional property to facilitate a lagoon.
Your ability to use a variety of water sources for the production of potable water added to the perceived advantages of using your company."
Earl Switenky, spokesman for Purio Inc. says, "Evergreen's choice of the Purio technology confirms our company's ability to provide a host of advantages to developers. In this pristine forest setting, near a beautiful recreational lake, aesthetic advantages and economic advantages will make it possible for Evergreen Estates to offer its residents the waterworks conveniences of city living. Our modular equipment can be installed and commissioned as the development grows thereby saving many huge up-front costs."
"Purio will participate in the operation of the water utilities services as a utility company, thereby creating a residual income stream for our company. A project like this, fully on-line would generate annual revenues to the company of approximately $350,000."

August 11, 2008 - Purio Provides Update on Mobile Water Treatment Demonstration and Initial Testing
Blaine, Washington – August 11, 2008: Purio Inc. [OTCBB: PURO] Purio Inc. is pleased to announce that its drinking-water clarification/purification demonstration taking place in the prairie province of Saskatchewan Canada has produced very satisfying in-house product water analysis and that product water samples from a series of test ports strategically positioned on the machine will be obtained during routine operation of the equipment and submitted to an accredited independent lab early in this week.
Leonard Girard, Chief Science Officer for Purio Inc. says, "Purio has operated the down-scaled model of our patented technology using a variety of water samples and that exercise has proven the unit's ability to produce fresh, clear, safe drinking water from contaminated and unsafe sources. Our next step is to prove the results in a recognized and accepted format which is only possible through an independent recognized lab."
"As a further demonstration of the unit's ability, around mid-week, we are preparing to move the unit to a new location at a shallow lake near a recreational resort village to show the transportability of the unit, and its ability to produce safe water from a variety of sources," Girard comments. "We will also be ordering and reporting on a complete battery of lab analysis on that operation as well."
Earl Switenky, spokesman for Purio Inc. says, "Because our technology clarifies water without the use of membranes, we have captured the attention of interested parties from around the world. Some have admitted their skepticism that they don't believe that our claims are possible. Through our operations and testing through this week, and the following accredited lab reports, we intend to make believers out of even the most discriminating observers. The economical processing methods we use may open doors of possibilities for thirsty communities and companies around the world who simply won't accept unsafe drinking water any longer."
July 31, 2008 - Purio Announces Compact Mobile Water Treatment System Arrives at First Demonstration Location
Blaine Wa, Purio Inc is pleased to announce that it has completed the move of its compact mobile water treatment system to its first demonstration location.
"Our preliminary mechanical testing of the new unit was completed to our total satisfaction with all systems functioning superbly", says Earl Switenky, spokesmen for Purio.
"As planned, our first demonstration is designed to produce drinking water. The unit will be drawing water from a stagnant and polluted pond formerly used to water livestock," says Leonard Girard chief science officer for Purio. "This water certainly is unsuitable for human consumption as is, and this demonstration is designed to prove our unit's ability to produce safe drinking water from such sources economically."
Purio will be submitting water samples to recognized testing laboratories and reporting the results.
In the coming weeks the unit will be moved to a municipal location that will provide an ideal demonstration of the unit's capability to clarify and sanitize residential waste water for recycling purposes.
June 12, 2008 - Purio Announces Compact Unit Completion and Testing
BLAINE, WA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jun 12, 2008 -- Purio (OTC BB:PURO.OB) is pleased to announce that the construction of its compact unit has now been completed and preliminary testing has begun.
"We have added a second dimension to the over-all testing of this new unit," says Earl Switenky, spokesman for Purio. "In addition to our previous plans of testing the unit on a wastewater location, we feel that, since the unit is new, it is most appropriate that we apply it to a drinking water production assignment first. The location for this test has been determined and the first water source is an irrigation canal that is surrounded by dairy farms and horticulture enterprises. Our goal is to economically upgrade the water to drinking water quality, and at the same time find the maximum through-put potential of the machine. We have met an aggressive goal in the area of energy efficiency in that we are definitely within the range of capability of being powered by a compact solar power pack in suitable regions."
"Over the course of the next few weeks we plan to challenge the unit's capability by selecting a variety of water and wastewater sources in order to verify the scope of applications that this technology may address," says Switenky
Switenky added, "This compact, high-production unit is designed without membrane filters and that, we believe, is a break-through in the water purification industry. We are determined to achieve a lower cost of water purification for the whole planet to enjoy."
