HaloPure kills bacteria and viruses which may be present in point-of-use (PoU) drinking water, by using a contact biocide technology which attacks and kills viable or harmful microbes in seconds. The HaloPure technology from HaloSource requires no piped water or electricity 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).

Frost & Sullivan research analyst Shilpa Tiku said: “With more than 85% of the under-developed world’s diseases linked to contaminated drinking water, the HaloPure technology is ideally suited to meet stringent water treatment needs. Another key advantage of HaloSource’s robust technology is that it can be incorporated into virtually any PoU device. The fact that more than 1 million units using HaloPure are now in service across India and HaloSource has active partners in China, Brazil and Europe is a testimony to its superior performance and high return on investment. It has built multiple new applications for its technology and recurring revenue streams from the replacement business.”

The two awards will be presented to HaloSource at the Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards ceremony on Thursday, 29 April, 2010.
