The right halogenerator depends on the room you are planning, whether equipment will be installed permanently, and how your business will operate it. HaloFX, HaloGX PRO, HaloMini and HaloFlex all belong to the Halotherapy Solutions range, but they solve different installation problems. A larger coverage figure is not automatically a better fit.
This comparison is for equipment selection and project planning, not medical advice. Verify final coverage and technical requirements with the supplier for the model and enclosure you intend to use.
Compare the four halogenerator formats
| Model | Typical consideration | Published planning detail |
|---|---|---|
| HaloFX | Dedicated commercial salt room | Wall-mounted; SimWellness listing specifies up to 400 sq ft and 35–50 W |
| HaloGX PRO | Smaller commercial room | Listed up to 150 sq ft; 50 W |
| HaloMini | Compact room or compatible cabin | Listed up to 50 sq ft (4.5 m²); 50 W |
| HaloFlex | Portable, enclosed-space use | Rechargeable; preset 15-minute session |
Coverage values are manufacturer-style planning ratings and not a guarantee of performance in an arbitrary room. The HaloFX manufacturer website may show a different published coverage figure from an individual dealer's catalogue; confirm the current model datasheet before design approval.
HaloFX: when the project starts with a room
Consider HaloFX for a dedicated room where the operator can prepare the space for a wall-mounted system. The current SimWellness product information lists dimensions of 13 × 21 × 9 inches, a 100–240 V AC supply and 35–50 W power requirement. It also identifies a salt reservoir and adjustable feed-rate controls.
Before construction, agree on the generator position, technical access, penetrations and ventilation plan. Ask who will commission the unit, provide training and supply replacement parts. Room area alone is not enough information to sign off the specification.
HaloGX PRO: compact commercial installations
The HaloGX PRO is listed for smaller commercial salt rooms up to around 150 square feet, with a 50 W power rating. This makes it worth comparing with HaloFX when the facility has a smaller dedicated enclosure.
For projects expecting back-to-back sessions, the separately sold All Day Feeder may be relevant. Check that the selected feeder is compatible with your unit, and clarify the kit contents and maintenance arrangements. An accessory should not be assumed to be included in a base equipment price.
HaloMini: planning for smaller footprints
The HaloMini is listed for spaces up to approximately 50 square feet (4.5 m²). For a compact wellness room or a compatible enclosed cabin, its footprint may be easier to accommodate than a larger room system.
Check the mounting arrangement, correct voltage configuration, approved consumables and required working space. Also confirm the relationship between the generator and any booth or cabin you buy: some integrated products specify their own included salt equipment.
HaloFlex: portable use is a different category
The HaloFlex is rechargeable and described for compatible enclosed sauna cabins and pod tents. Its one-button operation and 15-minute session are different from a fixed commercial room system.
Do not substitute a portable device into a large salt room design solely because it is easier to move. Confirm approved enclosure volume, battery and charger arrangements, operating instructions and the suitability of the host equipment.
Five questions worth asking before you buy
- What is the enclosed space? Supply dimensions, room volume and any partitions or ventilation openings.
- Where will the equipment sit? Show the proposed placement, access for cleaning and where the aerosol enters the guest space.
- What power is available? Have the voltage, circuit and local installation requirements verified.
- How will the room be operated? Share planned session lengths, bookings per day, cleaning turnaround and staffing arrangements.
- What happens after installation? Request a written list of consumables, maintenance steps, technical support and warranty exclusions.
Do not confuse dry salt equipment with salt decoration
A decorative salt wall, salt lamp or ambient lighting can contribute to the appearance of a space. It does not perform the same function as a halogenerator, which mechanically processes and distributes dry salt particles. When reviewing proposals, separate decorative finishes from active equipment and its technical requirements.
What should a proper quote include?
Confirm the precise model and options, compatible accessories, location-specific freight, installation scope, training, electrical requirements and written warranty. SimWellness product pages show listed prices, but site-specific delivery or installation costs may require separate confirmation.

Quick answers
Is HaloFX always better than HaloGX PRO?
No. The correct choice depends on room design, coverage requirements, access and operating pattern. A higher maximum room rating is not itself a reason to overspecify.
Can HaloMini replace HaloFX in any room?
No. Their listed applications and coverage figures differ. Confirm the relevant enclosure size and manufacturer instructions.
Does an infrared sauna need a halogenerator?
An ordinary infrared sauna does not automatically provide dry salt aerosol. Some purpose-built salt saunas include integrated salt equipment; check the model specification before assuming it is present.
