As you are aware, your registration under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is voluntary and following registration you will be required to file periodic reports with the SEC under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act. Once the registration statement is effective, the only way to discontinue your reporting obligations without violating federal securities laws will be to deregister the securities by filing Form 15 under Exchange Act Rule 12g-4.

3. Some of our comments may require restatement of your financial statements. Restatement of your financial statements would require that you: * Comply with paragraphs 13, 36 & 37 of APB 20 related to the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements. * Obtain a revised auditor`s report consistent with AU 420.11 containing an explanatory paragraph. * Label the financial statements as restated.

Please state the basis for your factual and comparative statements here and throughout your document regarding the size of your operations, your market share, and the growth of demand within your industry. In addition, provide us supplementally with independent support for these statements and tell us whether this information is available publicly.

10. Please delete reference to the market shares of major bottled water marketers. As you do not appear to be engaged in the sale or distribution of bottled water, this information may be confusing to investors.

General Business Plan, page 3

11. Please revise here and throughout your document, as necessary, to remove undefined acronyms as well as company and industry jargon. For instance, you should define "PSI," "ANSI," "NSF," and state what comprises "the four major areas of concern."

12. Please clarify your statement that the company is an accumulation of over 35 years of innovation. It appears that the company has been in existence for less than 10 years.

New Products, page 4

13. Please disclose when you acquired the rights of Enviro(3) Care Incorporation and when the licensing agreement with Aqua Gear USA was signed.

Please revise the heading or body of this risk factor to clearly convey a risk applicable to you or your investors.

Potential Inability to Conduct Successful Operations, page 8

23. This risk factor contains vague generalities such as your statement that "operations may be affected by many factors . . ." and that "these problems . . . could have a materially adverse effect on [y]our viability as an entity . . . ." Please ensure that each risk factor describes a specific material risk, rather than a statement of facts that does not clearly explain why the factor is a particular, concrete, risk to you or investors. Risks that could apply to any company or that are themselves speculative are vague and should be revised to make them more specific to your company.

Management`s Discussion & Analysis-Plan of Operation, page 9

24. Please disclose when you consolidated your business with Nikken and whether you achieved increased sales as a result.

25. Please supplementally tell us why you believe sales have "stabilized," when it appears that there was a precipitous 76% drop in revenues between 2002 and 2004, and that revenues declined an additional 27% between the fiscal year ended February 29, 2004 and February 28, 2005. We may have additional comment upon review of your response.

Plan of Operation, page 10

26. As you have had revenues from operations in each of the last two fiscal years, you should only provide information as required by Item 303 (b) and (c) of Regulation S-B and not Item 303 (a). Please delete your plan of operation section and include any applicable information in your management`s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.

Results of Operations, page 11

27. Significantly expand your discussion of results of operations. You should explain material variances in your operations as well as the business reasons for the variances. Each business reason you identify as contributing to a change between periods should be individually quantified where practicable.

Your discussion should cover material changes in any line item on your statement of operations for each of the last two fiscal years as well as the interim periods covered in your interim financial statements. See Regulation S-B, Item 303(b)(1), (2). Your disclosure in response to this comment should supersede your current disclosure under the heading Causes for any material changes from period to period on page 11.

28. Revise this section to provide all other information required by paragraph (b) to Item 303 of Regulation S-K, including discussion and analysis of the results of operations, as discussed in the preceding comment, for each of the past two fiscal years.

29. In your discussion of known trends that are expected to have a material impact on revenues you should analyze why there is a trend as well as the direction of the trend, rather than repeating disclosure regarding results of operations. Refer to SEC Interpretive Release 34-48960, Commission Guidance Regarding Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (December 2003).

Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 11

30. We note that you require prepayment on sales orders. Please expand this disclosure to discuss the related costs of fulfilling such orders.

32. On page 2 you state that the TAM Irrevocable Trust and Pacific Financial have loaned you funds from 2001 to 2005 and continue to finance your operations. Please clarify in your liquidity section whether the TAM Irrevocable Trust, Pacific Financial, or any other shareholders have agreed to provide additional funding in the future.

35. Please discuss the expected impact of patent expiration on your future revenues. If applicable, please also discuss any trends affecting your reported revenues or that you consider likely to have an affect in the future. For example, it is unclear why "business is improving" and whether any underlying trends are affecting reported revenues.

36. Also, it is unclear why the small fluctuation in gross margin for the three months ended May 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 is meaningful and what underlying trend contributed to it.
