LARQ Bottle PureVis 17 oz - Self-Cleaning and Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with UV Water Purifier and Award-winning Design | Reusable & Travel Friendly, Obsidian Black

Best water bottle ever! Clean the germs off! Awesome product

I love this bottle. I was very scared to purchase a bottle that cost that much, but it is well worth it. I bought it to take on a camping trip that will not have water access to our camp site. I am planning to use it purify water from a stream that will be my water source. It keeps the water ice for a long time. I would recommend purchasing the 24 oz, I seem to go through my water fast, and I have the 24 oz size. It is not the easiest to carry so I purchased the cover made for it, not happy with the cover. overall, I love the bottle and anxious to see how it works on my camping trip

We wanted to get a self cleaning UV filtered bottle for our Costa Rica vacation as recommended by our Travel doctor due to water sanitization concerns in Costa Rica and this was bang on - value for money. CR doesn't have portable water everywhere and in some national parks you cannot carry plastic bottles. So this was a life savior. We bought 2 of these and just kept filling it with water whenever we ran out. Worry free. The only catch is these do not have any holders to carry easily, so we got some silicone rings with carabiners to attach them to our backpacks and that worked (though the carabiners and silicone ring broke eventually). Maybe we will research and get better quality holders for next time. Otherwise - the bottle itself was awesome. We had a 1 month vacation and somehow just 1 charge lasted the entire trip. Highly recommended.

I love the bottle and the concept. I do drink more water, but this is very expensive. You need to buy the top so you can add a carrying strap. Would be a 5 but it's so expensive.

UPDATE 2: Just one month after receiving and using the replacement I was sent, it too has failed with the same orange light and not activating with the button press. DO NOT BUY UNLESS YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR MONEY. --- UPDATE: Finally received the new cap from Larq and hope the first one being broken was a rare defect. Will update in a bit but I still can't excuse the fact it takes their support about a month to fix the situation. --- When I first received the Larq bottle, I loved it. The bottle self-cleaned and kept the water tasting good even after a week of not washing it. Clearly this UV technology is the key to keeping water bottles fresh (regular bottles start tasting and smelling rancid after a couple days). Unfortunately, only a month later, it started to break down. The rubber grommet that seals the cap started failing (constantly needed to be re-seated) and the sensors inside broke and won't let the bottle activate the UV light. Now I am left with $100 water bottle that doesn't work (as you can see in the video). But wait, there's a warranty for these kind of things. Surely that would solve my problems? Good luck getting in contact with their support. Took them 12 days to respond via email and I still haven't received a new cap 20 days later. If you have a problem, skip their support and just go through Amazon instead. Overall I cannot recommend this product. Not only is there some kind of design flaw, but their support is terribly slow. I could justify the $100 cost if the cap worked or even if their support was somewhat efficient. Sadly it just leaves a bad taste. Both the flawed water bottle and slow as molasses company support.

Well, honestly I haven't had the water tested so I can say how well it's working, but it taste good!

Putting in my two cents here... UV-C light falls in the only spectrum of UV that can affect DNA replication. The light is enough to stop replication, not completely kill the bacteria. That’s enough for commercial use, both in the UVC wands, phone cleaners, and this water bottle. Why? Cells that do not replicate cannot infect. I do not understand the notion that the light ‘does not kill chemicals secreted by bacteria, which makes you sick’. Bacteria makes you sick. And if you disrupt the dna activity of everything in the bottle, there’s nothing alive that would be harmful. There is no perfect water. Don’t even get me started on how many CFU (coliform forming units- or fecal matter contamination) there is in tap water and bottled water. This water bottle comes pretty darn close to perfect. It doesn’t ‘filter’ so you will occasionally get a metallic taste from various sources- water with lower pH, the metal in water from older pipes. Should be fine as long as there’s not high lead levels. Every city has a water report that tells you the content, including if there’s fluoride (good for you), lead (not good for you). Also a stainless steel container is not one that ‘encourages’ biofilm activity- that would be plastic, which this is not. There are several reviews floating on the interweb from medical ppl doubting that it would work or that UVC light DOES work. As a general rule, don’t side with a camp that makes claims without evidence. Research. Science. “Trust me, I’m a doctor” is only a t-shirt slogan. A good doctor can explain to you why- with both the research done and clinical effects. I’ve never used that phrase and I don’t plan on it. Tl;dr —- The Larq water bottle is great for travelers, nomads, water purists like me. UVC light is proven to de-germ. It does not filter which is generally okay. A little bit of metal is fine, a lot of lead in your city water is not. Please stop upvoting unproven claims.

High value performance. I bought this relatively small ultraviolet thermos with traveling in mind and I use it every day and for playing tennis. It works and gives you a little more confidence that what you’re drinking is more pure than without it. I’m very happy with it. It’s in my car cupholder perfectly also.

Mine broke down within a month it never charged or worked again and the lid is stuck i can never open it and it’s past the return time

Very good quality. Love it

J'ai acheté cette bouteille pour m'aider a boire plus d'eau. J'ai 52 ans et j'arrive de peine et de misère a vouloir en boire. Pourtant je bois du jus fait avec cet eau mais j'ai toujours eu ce problème. Et de me dire que ça tue les germes ça m'aide a en boire. J'aimerais aussi m'acheter l'autre version avec le filtre et l'application mais comme elle sont chère ce sera peu être plus tard. Pour l'instant je ne peu que commenter celle ci. Points positifs: Très belle bouteille assez légère. Je suis habitué a plus lourd. Les deux teintes sur la bouteille font qu'elle est vraiment très belle et qu'elle semble luxueuse avec le nom Larq gravé au laser c'est vraiment chic. La bande lumineuse est géniale si vous ne vous servez pas de la bouteille verrouiller la lumière. Pour se faire maintenez 5 secondes le doigts sur le bouton au centre du couvercle et quand il y aura deux flash blanc c'est verrouiller. Faite la même manoeuvre pour déverrouiller. Pesez 1 coup sur le bouton pour un nettoyage de 1 minutes 2 coups consécutifs pour le gros mode de 3 minutes. Gardez le livret noir on vous expliquent tout de A a Z il est très pratique. Certain anglaise et française. Et un mega plaisirs a déballer. Point faible jusqu'à maintenant concerne la prise. Dommage qu'elle ne soit pas standard comme les téléphone. Elle utilise le vieux modèle et ce sont ces model qui finissent par briser. On verra dans le temps mais je vais en prendre soin.

This is my second bottle. Bought the first over a year ago and have not had any problems with smelly bottles since then. Got this one to get a smaller size.
