Thursday February 17, 8:45 am ET

RALEIGH, NC--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 17, 2005 -- HydroFlo, Inc. (OTC BB:HYRF.OB - News) today announced that its portfolio company, Metals & Arsenic Removal Technology, Inc. (MARTI) has received an order for a large Arsenic Removal System from an industrial client in the eastern United States.

The order was received after the pilot study and laboratory testing of the affected waste stream showed that arsenic was completely eliminated by the MARTI Arsenic Removal System. It reduced the contaminant levels, which were originally as high as 6 parts per million to levels that were undetectable. The unit cost is for more than $600,000 and is expected to be installed and operational within 60 days.

"We continue to see requests for system quotations from potential clients worldwide as an understanding of the dangers and health effects of arsenic become known. The MARTI technology is being used successfully, protecting and saving lives everyday," commented George Moore, Chief Operating Officer of MARTI.

The flow rate the unit will treat is in excess of 250,000 gallons per day and can be expanded in size if necessary, due to increased flow. The type of unit designed for this customer can be used in any industry with a need to remove arsenic from their discharge waters. This technology can also be invaluable to municipalities that have the need to eliminate arsenic from drinking water to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's requirement of maintaining arsenic levels of less than 10 parts per billion by January 26, 2006.

Dennis L. Mast, CEO of HydroFlo, commented, "The installation of a MARTI system assures a client of one of the most cost effective methods for water treatment to the nations. We look forward to establishing open lines of communication with potential clients throughout the world to whom we can provide this necessary service."
