Waterlogic Plc (AIM: WTL.L), a leading manufacturer and global
distributor of point-of-use ("POU") drinking water purification and

player that imports, markets, sells and distributes local and
well-recognised internationalbrands.
The agreement includes a minimum volume target for the first
three years of 45,000 POU drinking water purification and
dispensing systems. All relevant units will display the Firewall

2012.
Jeremy Ben-David, Waterlogic, Group CEO, commented:
"We are very excited to have signed this OEM supply contract
which is Waterlogic's first major agreement for the mass consumer
market and will accelerate the commercialisation of our innovative
Firewall UV technology. Supplying point-of-use water dispensers
incorporating the most effective water purification technology
currently on the market will ensure our partner has a unique
advantage.
Waterlogic looks forward to working closely with such a major
and trusted player in the home appliances market and to exploiting
the significant opportunities that Firewall is opening up."

Notes to editors:
Further information on Waterlogic Plc:
Waterlogic Plc (AIM: WTL.L) is a leading manufacturer and global
distributor of mains attached point-of-use ("POU") drinking water
purification and dispensing systems designed for environments such
as offices, factories, hospitals, hotels, schools, restaurants and
other workplaces.
Waterlogic was one of the first companies to introduce POU
systems to Europe and has been a leader in the POU market in terms
of product design and quality, the application of new technologies
and in sales and service. Waterlogic has an extensive and expanding
independent global distribution network in place, reaching 48
countries across five continents.
Waterlogic products are currently being sold in North and South
America, Europe, Asia, Australia and South Africa. Waterlogic's
leading markets are Western Europe in particular, Norway, Denmark,
Germany, France, UK and the US. Of the 1.5 million new
installations in the business-to-business market between 2005-2010,
approximately 73% incorporated POU technology of which Waterlogic
had a 26% market share.
The Directors believe that the movement away from bottled water
coolers to POU water dispensers is set to continue its current
trend as a result of cost, convenience, health benefits and
environmental considerations.
Waterlogic's Firewall ultra-violet ("UV") technology is one of
the most effective water purification technologies for POU water
dispenser applications currently on the market and is the only
technology certified as being able to guarantee 99.9999% pure water
100% of the time, a fact which has been confirmed by over 5,000
physical tests in independent laboratories. The innovative Firewall
technology incorporates a highly-specialised, compact UV system in
the faucet/tap, which ensures that water passes through the UV
system immediately before it is dispensed into a cup. This point of
differentiation for Firewall is unique in the POU market.
For the financial year ended 31 December 2010, the Group
generated revenues and adjusted EBITDA of US$68.3 million and
US$11.4 million, respectively, and had approximately 500,000
machines installed as at 31 December 2010.
