PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION
WATERITE TECHNOLOGIES, INC., headquartered in Winnipeg Manitoba, announced today that it has reached an agreement to purchase all outstanding shares of West Heat Industries Ltd., for an undisclosed sum. Also located in Winnipeg, West Heat is an important national Canadian distributor of water bottles and caps, water coolers and water dispensing accessories and general water treatment products. The closing date is expected to be November 19, 2010.

West Heat's electrical and radiant heating product lines were not included in the purchase and will be retained by the company's current owners as a wholly independent operation.

Paul Jacuzzi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Waterite Technologies, Inc. stated, "This important acquisition allows Waterite to greatly expand its product offerings to water products customers and to round out its extensive water treatment product lines. Our combined customer base will benefit from a greater selection of quality products, technical resources and simplified logistics. For our combined companies it will mean greater purchasing power, lower overhead costs and new sales opportunities, leading to enhanced performance for our shareholders." West Heat will remain as a stand-alone sales division of Waterite and continue to operate in its present Winnipeg office and warehouse. All West Heat water products personnel will be retained in this acquisition.

Waterite Technologies is a leading Canadian manufacturer, designer and distributor of water quality equipment, providing products and services for the residential, commercial, institutional and municipal water treatment and conditioning markets.
