Ultravation vs Reme Halo

Hello from your Sales Management Solutions Team,

We are looking to share as much factual information as soon as possible here at SMS Team. The following are answers to recent questions we have been getting around clarifying UV product(s) differences.  We would also like to advise to please watch our founder, Jennifer’s, webinar video if you have 10 minutes spare:

When asked about the Ultravation Equivalent for the Reme Halo, it is our policy to provide the closest match to that product.  However, with the current world climate regarding COVID-19, the exact match to a competitor’s product may not be the best solution for the end-user when we feel we have more effective options available.  Please check out the information in this video which includes our recommendations for commercial and residential options that utilize the UVGI technology as referred to by ASHRAE in their guide for infectious diseases.

After educating yourself and your client ask the question are you looking for a cross-reference or are you looking for the best option for your end-user?

  • For our exact cross reference, we recommend the Solaris.  It uses the same technology as the competitor, delivers the technology in higher doses,  is more efficient in treating the air and offers a lifetime warranty, all-important advantages over our competitors in this category. This product also offers the essential option of a plugin for a coil lamp that will do UVGI technology.
  • Solaris would be column 1 and the Halo in column 3 of our Product Comparison linked here: UV Product Comparison Solaris vs APCO vs Reme Halo
  • This category of product utilizes 3 technologies: Active PCO > Bi-Polar Ionization > Increased UV & Surface Area
  • If you are looking for passive PCO, then we recommend our Signature Series UVCatalyst which offers that passive PCO in addition to a plugin for a coil lamp that will do UVGI technology.  This is our best recommended Residential scenario.
