Revolutionary HaloPure® Drinking Water Disinfection Technology Registered by EPA
Seattle, WA - HaloSource®, a leading clean water and antimicrobial solutions company, has been granted United States Environmental Protection Agency registration for HaloPure BR ®, a revolutionary technology which provides safe, clean drinking water at point-of-use. Already in use in water purification devices sold in China, India and Brazil, HaloPure BR’s EPA registration will broaden the reach of HaloSource’s technology and extend the range of potential partners to support the need for clean drinking water worldwide in both developed and developing economies. HaloPure BR kills bacteria and viruses that may be present in point-of-use drinking water by using a unique contact biocide technology that attacks and kills viable or harmful microbes in seconds. Some examples of micro organisms that HaloPure kills are: Poliovirus, Rotavirus, MS2, Klebsiella terrigena, Escherichia coli (E. coli), Vibrio cholera, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus. Requiring no piped water or electricity, HaloPure BR has none of the limitations of existing technologies and can be applied to a wide variety of applications providing primary disinfection, safe storage and control of biofilm, the formation of micro organisms in the water or within a device or system.

John Kaestle, CEO, HaloSource, commented that, “U.S. EPA registration reinforces HaloPure’s role as the most significant, non-electric drinking water disinfection technology to reach commercialization in the past decade and is the culmination of more than 10 years of work and millions of dollars of investment.” HaloPure technology offers a new and valuable addition to the technology options available to drinking water device manufacturers globally, enabling them to offer products which not only filter impurities from contaminated water but also to make it clean, pure and safe to drink. “Providing safe, affordable drinking water at point-of-use, our technology will also have an important impact on developing communities, by dramatically improving the quality of life through preventing disease and by removing the need for travelling long distances to gain access to safe drinking water,” said Kaestle. “EPA registration will play an important role in enabling us to develop partnerships globally and make our unique technology available across both developed and developing economies.” EPA registration is a vital component by which partnering companies can judge safety, device performance and success when using HaloPure BR as either a primary or secondary means of disinfection. When integrated into existing water purification devices, HaloPure BR delivers the most flexible, price-competitive disinfection solution for truly safe drinking water, making it ideal for the rapidly growing and ever-changing global point-of-use drinking water market. HaloPure BR’s patented contact biocide technology guarantees bacteria and virus disinfection, safe storage, biofilm control and flexibility, without interfering with taste or odor.
