A thank you from Ken and Carrie Garcia, the founders of Halo:
Several years ago, our family was blessed with the birth of triplet boys. Like many
multiple births, our triplets were born prematurely, each weighing approximately
2.5 pounds. They spent the next two and a half months in the Neonatal Intensive
Care Unit before being released weighing approximately five pounds each.
We were warned that if the boys became ill during the next year, they would need
to be immediately hospitalized given their under-developed immune systems. Any
illness could be life threatening. Our doctors recommended that we thoroughly
clean and disinfect our home, and that we consider ripping out our carpets. The
reason: all carpets harbor millions of germs and dust mites, because it is the one
surface in the home that cannot be disinfected.
Tearing out our carpet was not a good option for our family. We used our carpets
everyday with our babies. Yet we wanted to do everything possible to prevent
another hospitalization. We needed a better solution.
We learned that ultraviolet light had been used for decades to create some of
the world’s healthiest environments, and that it had also been used to disinfect
hospitals and sterilize drinking water.
So we asked ourselves, “Why couldn’t this technology be used inside the home
where parents and children spend so much of their time?” We realized that by
harnessing the power of ultraviolet light, families could experience a peace of
mind knowing their homes were truly clean.
After years of research and development, we created the Halo™Ultraviolet Vacuum.
The world’s only germ-killing vacuum.

killing UV-C technology.
The Halo Advantage

Ultraviolet Light Overview
The Halo™UV-ST Ultraviolet Vacuum combines powerful suction with germ-
killing ultraviolet light — the technology hospitals have used for decades —
to revolutionize the way families clean their homes!
For more than 60 years, germicidal ultraviolet light has been used in commercial
facilities, hospitals, laboratories, doctors’ offices and clinics to sterilize medical
instruments and equipment, water and air circulating through rooms, including
operating rooms. In addition, germicidal ultraviolet light has been widely used to
purify drinking water and disinfect the water in swimming pools.
Germicidal ultraviolet light is part of the light spectrum, although it is not part
of the visible light spectrum. Ultraviolet rays with wavelengths shorter than
300 nanometers are extremely effective in killing micro-organisms including
bacteria, viruses, molds, fungus and spores. In particular, research has shown
that ultraviolet rays with wavelengths of 253.7 nanometers are optimal for killing
micro-organisms. This wavelength is commonly called the “germicidal bandwidth”
because it deactivates the DNA of these micro-organisms and thus destroys their
ability to multiply, create allergens and cause disease. This is the wavelength
used in your Halo™UV-ST Ultraviolet Vacuum. For more information, please
see gethalo.com.
We hope you enjoy discovering what our germ killing Halo™Ultraviolet Vacuums
can do for you!
