H20 INTERNATIONAL LAUNCHES HALOPURE POWERED PRODUCTS IN SOUTH AFRICA

Marks the first sale of HaloPure(R)-powered devices on the African continent

HaloSource Inc. (HAL.LN, HALO.LN), the global clean water technology company traded on London's AIM, announces today that its patented, best-in-class HaloPure(R) disinfection technology is being utilised to power a line of purifying pitchers sold in retail outlets across South Africa by H20 International.

H20 International has been selling water filtration products in South Africa for nearly 24 years and, according to "The Global Home Water Treatment Industry - Structure and Players, 2015 Edition" Baytel research report, owns a 12% share of the market (on a revenue basis), behind only Brita at 15%. The South African market offers a good opportunity given that tap water quality is highly variable and media attention has consistently raised questions about the potability and safety of water there.

James Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of HaloSource commented:

"We have known the H2O International US team for many years working with them on several initiatives in Asia and Latin America. They are well established in the drinking water device business and have now built the largest network of drinking water retailers in South Africa in partnership with H2O International SA. As we embark on our new, augmented strategy of hydration products via OEM and our own astrea(R) brand, the partners we choose will be critical. Being promoted through this well-respected channel lends a tremendous amount of credibility to our technology powered hydration devices."

Guillermo Guzman, H20 International (US) Founder & President commented:

"Having been in the drinking water device business for decades, we are very well versed in the technologies that exist to make water safe. HaloPure(R) is building a global following as a novel technology that is powerful in its performance, flexible in its application and competitive in its cost. We look forward to promoting the HaloPure(R) powered disinfection devices in our 55 outlets across South Africa and exploring future options with HaloSource's new heavy-metal removal media within our outlets and other major retail outlets across South Africa."
