K i t ch e n w a r e N e w s & H o u s e w a r e s R e v i e w S h o w D a i l y S a t u r d a y, M a r ch 5 , 2 0 1 6 9 6 Executive Officer of Aquasana, said "Great tasting, healthy water has never been easier to get, wherever you are. Our new Active line takes professional grade filtration and makes it portable. No installation or plumbing required. Get water free of lead, cysts, chlorine and more, on the go or at home." The Clean Water Machine is the next generation of the award winning Powered Water Filtration System. It just got stronger and smarter. The new prod- uct is more than a gravity pitcher that passively sifts water. Obsessively engi- neered to provide instant filtration, it removes 96 percent of harmful contami- nants and has long lasting filters that can go through 320 gallons before replace- ment. NSF ® International certified that this product filters 66 contaminants, over 10 times the leading gravity pitcher. The addition of Bluetooth allows your smart- phone to track gallons filtered, dollars saved and to alert when your filter is low. Purchase a new filter with a simple click. The Active Filter Bottle gives you A quasana (C o nt'd. fro m p. 1 ) better water everywhere. Aquasana lever- aged Kickstarter to bring this one to mar- ket, and reached 129 percent of its fund- ing goal. It started with a vision of smart design paired with patented filter tech- nology never before available in a bottle. This patented technology enables the bottle to be the first of its kind to remove things people worry about in everyday tap water: over 99 percent of chlorine, lead, bacteria and cysts. The filter technology also permits chugability. No significant suction or strong-arming is required for delicious, clean water. Made from premi- um materials, this bottle is available in both shatter-resistant borosilicate glass and BPA-free Tritan™ plastic designed to keep your filtered water pristine. Aquasana has patents pending for design and utility on both products. The Aquasana Active product line makes its national debut at the Housewares Show and is available at www.aquasana.com and select retailers. Visit Aquasana at booth #L12955.

For the past 40 years, I've been involved in creating, branding and selling some of the most creative and life enhancing products you can find on the market. I just get excited about helping people overcome the chemical pollutants and energy inefficiencies we deal with in the world today. KNSD: Can you tell our readers about your leading product, EcoWasher ® ? JT: EcoWasher is an amazing device that connects to any washing machine and transforms ordinary cold water into a powerful, deep cleaning, disinfecting wash, without any additives! Did you know detergents contain chemicals that the EPA has stated may be the cause of cancer? Our EcoWasher not only cleans your laundry, it kills 100 percent of E. coli as well as other bacteria that deter- gent leaves behind, and it saves hundreds of dollars a year in detergent and hot water costs. Why wouldn't anyone want to use it? It pays for itself! KNSD: How exactly does EcoWasher pay for itself? JT: The average family of four will save enough money in detergent and hot water costs within the first few months of using EcoWasher to cover the cost of the unit, and pocket the savings for years to come. We even have a 30 day risk free trial, but no one ever returns them. KNSD: How can you clean laundry with just cold water? Eco I nventio n (C o nt'd. fro m p. 1 ) JT: Well, it's a complicated process involving the restructuring of water molecules. But to put it simply, the water is oxidized to create an all natu- ral, powerful detergent. Just like other powerful oxi (oxygen) products on the market. It's not a new technology, actu- ally… oxidation laundry technology has been used in hospitals and hotels around the world for decades, we just miniaturized it and made it affordable for home use. KNSD: Can you tell our readers about your OxiLeaf ® air purifiers? JT: There's the OxiLeaf MINI, which I like to call the OxiLeaf Mighty. It's a plug-in air purifier perfect for bedrooms or bathrooms. The benefits are amaz- ing! First of all, it neutralizes odors. It also kills bacteria, and it uses a com- pletely natural and safe oxidizing process. Allergy sufferers, smokers, people with pets or anyone who enjoys breathing clean, healthy air should try one. We also have larger room models coming soon. KNSD: Any other EcoInvention ® 's you'd like to mention? JT: Too many to include here, but keep an eye on www.ecoinventions.com for exciting new advances in healthy, safe, eco-conscious, cost saving innovations, including a ceiling fan that purifies the air, vacuum cleaners that use water to sanitize while cleaning, "SMART" air purification systems, new EcoWasher models and more!

WIRELESS PROFESSIONAL WEATHER STATION WITH LIGHTNING DETECTOR La Crosse Technology's Wireless Professional Weather Station allows you to monitor your home and backyard weather, all on a colorful, easy-to read LCD display. This station allows you to monitor up-to-the-minute forecast, tem- perature, humidity, wind and rain data to help you plan your day with confidence. The new lightning detector tracks EMP (electromagnetic pulses) emitted by lightning strikes up to 25 miles away. The weather station also features customiz- able alerts for lightning detection, rainfall amounts, wind speed, temperature and humidity. The alerts provide peace-of- mind and help keep your home and fam- ily safe. The new wireless multi-sensor trans- mits wind, rain and lightning data, and includes an integrated solar panel to extend the sensor's battery life. The multi-sensor features a new, easy-to- mount bracket and an integrated level to ensure the sensor is mounted correctly. In order to deliver the most accurate read- ings possible, the separate thermo-hygro sensor allows for appropriate placement and more accurate temperature and humidity readings. The separation of the sensors allows the multi-sensor to be placed in a high, non-obstructive area, whereas the thermo-hygro sensors can be placed under an eave or roofline to ensure temperature readings are not affected by direct sunlight. This station also features atomic time and date as well as a colorful forecast display. Atomic time automatically synchronize to a radio signal called WWVB that the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) broadcasts continu- ously from Fort Collins, Colorado. Never worry about setting the time on the station; it even automat- ically updates for Daylight Saving Time. The colorful forecast display is based on your own backyard weather; the station analyzes barometric pressure and updates the weather conditions for the next 12 hours based on changes in pressure. Just like La Crosse Technology's entire line of products, the new Wireless Professional Weather Station is designed, developed, tested and used by its team of weather enthusiasts. The small town team takes pride in the quality and value of every product it pro- duces. Its faithful commitment to its customers and employees helps the company continu- ously develop user-friendly products and provide excellent, in-house cus- tomer service to its satisfied customers. La Crosse Technology is based in La Crosse, Wisconsin on the banks of the Mississippi River. La Crosse Technology – your back- yard weather solution.

COLUMBIAN HOME PRODUCTS INTRODUCES ICON COOKWARE Columbian Home Products launches ICON cookware, featuring a patented new metallurgical technology that creates an ultra-durable surface with superior food release properties. ICON cookware utilizes a patented metallurgical process that physically changes the molecular structure of car- bon steel to produce a surface compound that is stronger, slicker and better per- forming. This new surface technology is not a coating and will not rust, peel or flake. ICON is nature's most abundant elements: iron, carbon, oxygen and nitro- gen, combined in a new way to create an all-natural, non-porous and inert non- stick surface that is chemical-free and safe to use with metal utensils. ICON cookware is designed to bring out the best cooking results. ICON is great for high-temperature searing, browning and frying. It can withstand 800 degrees Fahrenheit and can be used in the oven, under the broiler or on the grill. ICON cookware works on all stove- tops. Smooth, non-abrasive flat bottoms and a 98 percent iron core make them ideal for induction cooking. ICON browns and sears like cast iron but with 30 percent less weight, long, stay cool handles and less has- sle to maintain and season. The patented surface technology is as slick as non-stick, but without chemical coatings and lasts forever. ICON cookware creates delectable fond, maximum carameliza- tion and perfect Maillard reaction like multi-ply stainless steel or French steel pans, but with easier clean-up. "ICON cookware represents the first true innovation in cookware technology in nearly 40 years, and we're proud to be making it in our Terre Haute, Indiana fac- tory," said Dick Ryan, Columbian Home Products Owner. The line consists of eight SKUs. Four skillets: 8, 10, 12 and 14 inch; and four specialty pans: 9.5- inch crepe, 4-quart sauté, 12-inch grid- dle and 14-inch wok – all with stainless steel cast handles and the patented ICON metallurgical process. Headquartered in North Barrington, Illinois, Columbian Home Products, LLC manufactures and markets specialty housewares under the Granite•Ware, Joyce Chen, Snow River, Grande Epicure, Origins and Heuck brands.
