Introducing the first true water management solution. The 3 in 1 water management solution save water through eliminating dripping, controls the flow of water without compromising pressure and significantly reduces maintenance.
2. WES Water Technologies
Our Objectives are to introduce water management
solutions that:
Save Water
Save Money
Save the Environment
Empower the population to be WaterWise
3. The Issues – Global Water Levels
Worlds water supply is
under extreme stress.
Globally we are past
sustainable renewable
water levels
4. The Issues – Domestic Waste
Dripping tap wastes up to 30 Litres (8 Gallons) of
Water per week.
Outdoor taps - biggest source of water wastage in
the USA estimated to be approximately 75 litres
or 19.8 gallons per day where the average USA
waterflow is 492 litres or 130 gallons per hour.
5. The Solution – Water Cartridge
The Main feature of our product is that it Controls the flow
of water, not Restricts it with negligible loss of pressure.
We did a trial for a Chairperson of a Water Board and a
Shire Councillor in Australia, they picked the Tap for the
trial.
Outcome of TEST
The Tap was flowing at over 1200 litres (317 Gallons) per
hour. We replaced the insides of the tap with our cartridge,
and reduced the flow to 400 litres (106 Gallons) per hour.
6. The Solution – 3 Forms
Solution comes in 3 forms
Tap / Fawcett Cartridge
Inline Cartridge for Mixer / Sensor Taps
Commercial Inline Cartridge
First 2 products will leverage American standards which are in use in a number
of SE Asian countries.
A number of Universities have offered WES their facilities to refine the designs
and obtain our US standards. The Universities are interested in the long term
picture helping us refine the Pipe Valve.
7. The Solution – Benefits
Manages water flow
Eliminates dripping taps
Eliminates water hammering.
Managing Water flow can save upto 55% of hotwater
costs
The flow of water is not restricted, but controlled
through our cartridge
Currently complies with Australia and China standards
Compliance with standards for US or EU, are being
undertaken. Prototypes are being developed.
8. The Solution – Key Attributes
Key attributes of the cartridge are:
Fixed Water flow valve
Demonstrable water flow control with negligible loss of pressure
Single component with O ring compared to 4 parts within traditional taps
Unknown life span (current devices have been used 300,000+ times with no
sign of wear)
Low cost to manufacture equating to User friendly retail pricing whilst enabling
distributors to experience healthy margins of 25 – 40%.
Grade of brass approximately 5 times higher than the regular commercial
products which adds to the durability of the product.
9. The Solution – Benefits
For Example
Texas A&M has reduced its annual energy
consumption (including water) by 20 % over the
past five years, saving the university
approximately $50 million in energy costs and
reducing carbon dioxide emissions to the
atmosphere by 338 million pounds or 153,427
metric tons (ratio of pounds per metric tons (2203/1).
10. Initial Target Territories
Initially the product will be introduced into the following
countries and states:
• Canada
• USA
– Florida
– California
– Texas
– New York
• China
• .
11. Summary
The Planet doesn’t have an endless source of our precious
resource!
People need to be introduced to water management solutions
to help curb their consumption as well as education.
USA water consumption leads the world by upto 4 times the
consumption of Australia and Germany.
Globally we are past sustainable renewable water levels

12. Summary cont.
WES’s water management solution is the only one of it’s kind on the planet.
We can put the tools into Peoples’ hands to conserve and collectively manage
the sustainability of our precious resource.
Our solution is robust and real and economical with patent pending status
coming before end of financial year.
A limited opportunity exists for investors to obtain a stake (lots of $50,000
AUD) in WES Australia, the licensee and holder of patents.
