Gentlemen:

I have acted as special  counsel to Flexible  Solutions  International,  Inc., a
Nevada  corporation  (the  "Corporation"),  in  connection  with the offering of
1,828,600  shares  of  Common  Stock by  shareholders  of the  Corporation.  The
offering of the shares is to be made pursuant to Registration  Statement on Form
SB-2 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange  Commission (the "Registration
Statement").

I have  acted as special  counsel  to the  Corporation  in  connection  with the
preparation of the Registration Statement.

Please be advised that I am of the opinion that the  Corporation's  Common Stock
to be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement has been duly authorized by
the  Corporation,   validly  issued  by  the  Corporation  and  fully  paid  and
non-assessable.

We consent to the use of our name in the  Registration  Statement in the section
of the Prospectus  entitled  "Legal Matters" and the filing of this letter as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement.

                                                Yours very truly,



                                                 s/Joel Bernstein, Esq., P.A.
