RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 16, 2003

AquaCell (AMEX:AQA) announced today that it has teamed up with Beau Dietl & Associates (BDA) for marketing and sales of its Purific(R) Water Cooler. As leading security experts, BDA works with major corporations to mitigate security breaches to provide a safe and secure work place. BDA sees the delivery of bottled water as a major security risk that needs to be addressed immediately, and which can easily be rectified with the Purific Water Cooler.

"Risks of bottled water delivery to offices have been known, but not addressed," said Bo Dietl founder and Chairman of Beau Dietl & Associates. "Bottled water delivery is one of the most vulnerable means through which a company can be attacked. In the past, facilities personnel have not had to address such concerns, but now they are being forced to view all decisions from a security perspective."

Mr. Dietl continued: "From the bottling plant, to the delivery and to the time it gets consumed, there is no chain of custody to ensure against tampering. Our cities' streets are filled with water delivery trucks left unattended and vulnerable to anyone walking by. These risks can no longer be ignored.

"After thoroughly researching the industry, we found that because AquaCell has the only permanently attached self-filling bottle on a water cooler, where employees can see the water and have confidence in it, this is the only real alternative for companies to replace bottled water in their facilities."

"We are proud to have formed a solid relationship with Bo Dietl and his company," said James C. Witham, AquaCell's chairman and CEO. "The recurring revenue sharing model AquaCell and BDA have created, coupled with the funding source we have collectively put into place, will allow us to have a great program for BDA to offer to its clients and will add great value to both of our companies."

Mr. Bo Dietl served 16 years in the New York Police City Department where he made thousands of arrests and became one of the most highly decorated detectives in the history of that department. He received 80 awards and commendations for bravery alone. After retiring from the police department, Mr. Dietl went on to become a highly respected security expert and investigator in the private sector in both national and international arenas. Currently, Mr. Dietl is Chairman and CEO of BDA. Mr. Dietl was appointed by then President of the United States, George Bush, as Co-Chairman of the National Crime Commission in 1989, and chosen as Security Consultant to the National Republican Party Convention in 1992 and 1996. He is now serving his second term as chairman of the New York State Security Advisory Committee, a position New York Governor George Pataki appointed him to. Mr. Dietl is a regular guest on the Imus in the Morning syndicated radio show.

Their corporate clients range in size from Fortune 100 international companies, to small- and mid-sized regional and local firms.
