I’m an active and environmentally-conscious person by nature, so I’ve been on the reusable water bottle train for a long time. I think I’ve tried every bottle under the sun, and while they each have their own benefits and drawbacks, there’s one thing they all have in common: the smell.
Yeah, you read that right. It doesn’t seem to matter how often I keep my water bottles clean or how well designed they are; they all develop a funky, mildew-y smell after a few days. 🤢
That’s why the LARQ Bottle PureVis, which currently holds the highest valuation requested in Shark Tank history, has been like the Tesla of water bottle upgrades for me.
FAQ:
What is the LARQ Bottle PureVis?
The LARQ Bottle PureVis is the world’s first self-cleaning water bottle, and boy does it do that well. I am notorious for leaving my water bottle in my car or a bag overnight (or worse–in a bag inside of my car), but even under those conditions, this bottle neutralizes up to 99% of the germs that make you sick with just a click of a button.
Priced at $99 for the 17oz and $118 for the 25oz, this water bottle will take all the guesswork out of keeping your drinking water worry-free.
That sounds great, but how does it work?
This water bottle uses PureVis™ technology to keep your water squeaky clean, which is essentially a tiny UV-C light that damages the nucleic acids in the DNA, deactivating germs.
I like my water super cold. Is the LARQ Bottle PureVis insulated?
The LARQ Bottle PureVis is insulated, keeping your water as cold or as hot as you’d like it for 24 and 12 hours respectively, but if temperature control isn’t important to you, there is also a non-insulated option that’s super lightweight and a little cheaper ($89 for the 17oz).
How long does it take for your LARQ Bottle PureVis to self-clean?
Each PureVis™ cycle lasts about a minute, so you don’t have to wait long for pristine, drinkable water. 💧
And if you’re a little forgetful like me, don’t sweat it–the LARQ Bottle PureVis runs its own cleaning cycle every 2 hours.
So it’s functional, but is it cute?
The LARQ Bottle PureVis comes in two sizes, 17oz and 25oz, and five sleek, aesthetically pleasing colors: Monaco Blue, Obsidian Black, Seaside Mint, Granite White, Himalayan Pink.
