1 Continuous Flow RO

2 History/Evolution Launched September 2004 Innovative Features Continuous flow No electricity required Minimum of 490 gpd vs GPD* No storage tank needed for most applications New Direction Move to non-residential Markets Restaurants Commercial Ice Makers Drink Stations Pet Stores/Aquariums Car Wash Spot Free Rinse Dish Washers Steamers/Cookers Shift away from residential * Based on internal testing.

3 New Marketing Strategy New Direction Focus Light Commercial Markets Light commercial models represent majority of Merlin sales volume Eliminates comparisons against low priced POU RO s Competes favorably with other light commercial systems Shift from Residential Allowed development of a simplified reliable manifold design Minimizes residential misapplications resulting in costly service follow ups Intended not to be installed on refrigerator water dispensers or icemakers Eliminates pricing pressures associated with residential POU equipment

4 Merlin vs cross reference replaces the legacy non-certified light commercial Merlin models listed below: Merlin Part Number Part Number Merlin Description Description * Merlin I * Merlin II faucet, carbon, post, tubing, drain carbon, post, tubing, drain, no faucet Sediment without Faucet Sediment, No faucet Light Commercial Sediment, No Drain, Faucet, Post Filter Standard, No Boa, Faucet or Tubing, No Drain, Faucet or Tubing * Models to be WQA certified

6 Smaller Footprint New Old Width = 9.3 in. 9.7 Height = 9.3 in 17 in Length = 20.2 in 20.3 in

7 Design Improvements: ASO Valve New diaphragm frictionless seal Broader functional pressure range Lower pressure required for ASO closure Shut-off moved from feed to concentrate line Remains shutdown during pressure changes

8 ASO Valve Operation Simplified proven diaphragm design Expanded operational pressure range No wear from friction No break-away or sliding friction Reduction in mass, improves transfer Wear/Leak Points New Design Only movement: Flexing of diaphragm Old Design Entire piston moves against two frictional o-rings seals

9 High Capacity Prefilter Features Initially released for non-certified systems Part Number: x 17 Size Blue end caps and netting differentiates from previous carbon filter Lot number molded into end cap for traceability Capacity increased from 5000 to 10,000 gallons Same excellent chlorine reduction as current cartridge Improved dirt holding capabilities Less susceptible to flow clogging Packaging Pricing Individually shrink wrapped and labeled. Shipped 30 to a box Minimum order quantities: one box. List Price for current carbon filter is: $19.76 List Price for high capacity filter is: $27.78 Current (P/N ) High Capacity (P/N )
