Great water purification technology!
The LARQ water purification thermal bottle uses UV-C technology to eliminate 99.9999% of bacteria in your water and keeps the water bottle smelling fresh all the time. It is very easy to use. Just plug in the cap to the provided USB cord and charge it. The charge lasts for up to 1 - 2 months. After filling it with cold water, you can tap the button on the cap and it goes through a one minute purification cycle to clean your water and bottle. This would be the normal cleaning process for trusted water sources. If you are using an untrusted water source you can tap the cap twice to activate Adventure Mode, which runs it through a three minute cycle to further eliminate bacteria. It also does a self-cleaning mode where it cycles on every two hours during the day to keep your water and bottle fresh at all times. If you are not using the bottle for a while, you can also set the travel lock to keep it from cycling on and save your battery. I’m happy to have this LARQ bottle as I feel confident I can use it all day with cold tap water and know it has been purified. I used to buy a lot of bottled water, particularly when traveling and I didn’t have access to filtered water or just didn’t know how safe the tap water was. With the LARQ bottle, I now feel I can eliminate bottled water and I’m happy to reduce all that extra waste in the environment! I got the Monaco Blue bottle, which is an attractive color of blue and looks good on my desk at work. It keeps my water nice and cold all day long while I am at work, as it will keep your water cold for 24 hours. I got the 17 oz bottle, which is the perfect size for me to use while at work. I plan to buy the larger 25 oz bottle also to use for traveling. If you are a water drinker and are tired of spending money on bottled water and adding to environmental waste, this is definitely the bottle for you! Also if you travel and often have untrusted water sources, the LARQ will give you piece of mind when drinking water while on the road.

Great for international travel
I was able to travel internationally with it appreared to work great! I usually get unwell when travelling but I believe ensuring clean water this time around avoided any issues. Watch out for drops, it fell onto concrete and dented the side after 1 week of use.

Finally I don't need to worry about clean water
This was a great item for me and long anticipated. I camp and travel do making sure that I have clean safe water is a must for me. The bottle is a good fit and slips into my cars cup holder about like a 12 oz can would. It also looks nice and my coworkers thought it was pretty cool - which I guess is a plus. Charging time was about an hour and a half out of box and lasted for me at least a couple of days, I recharged as per instructions and it was a bit less than an hour. Specifics on how I used it: Sometimes my water bottles would sit in the heat for hours or over night and I'd worry about the quality and safety of the water, so would dump it out and go without water until I could flush and clean the canteen or bottle. I can honestly say, this keeps cold water cold for at least 8 hours in my car, haven't had the chance or need for hot water yet. I am looking forward to less worry when camping and on longer road trips now, knowing I'll not only have cold water, but clean as well.

Water tastes great; exterior scratches easily
## Design The LARQ Bottle PureVis has a nice, clean design. The first thing I noticed is that the bottle definitely has some weight to it at around 13.5 ounces. The double-insulated wall helps keep your water cold for extended periods of time and also helps prevent the bottle from “sweating” on the exterior. I was disappointed to find that there is no carrying strap or hole for a carabiner on the bottle, which makes it a little less convenient to carry. However, there are first party and even third party sleeves available. I also found that the exterior of the bottle seems to scratch very easily after brushing my bottle up against a wall. You can see the scratch in the attached photos. ## Performance The cap contains a UV-C LED light that shines down on the water to sanitize it. After filling the bottle and placing the cap back on top, simply tap the button on the cap to initiate a 1-minute light cycle (double-tapping the button initiates a 3-minute cleaning cycle for a more thorough cleaning, what LARQ refers to as “Adventurer Mode”). The bottle will automatically perform a 10-second cycle every two hours to help maintain the water and bottle’s cleanliness. The manufacturer notes that adding ice or fruit to the bottle can reduce the effectiveness somewhat as the UV-C light can’t reach every nook and cranny to sanitize it. You can give the bottle a shake while the cycle is active to help make sure everything in the bottle gets exposed to the UV-C light. Therefore, non-clear liquids (such as coffee) are not ideal as the light can’t really penetrate them. It's hard to test the effectiveness of the UV-C light without lab testing, but based on day-to-day usage, the bottle hasn't developed a musty smell or moldy spots like normal water bottles typically do if they're not regularly washed. I’m a little lazy about keeping my water bottles clean, so I’m very happy to have a water bottle that cleans itself. The manufacturer still recommends washing the bottle from time to time, but it's nice not having to worry about it after every single use. Additionally, I feel a little more confident filling the LARQ water bottle from random water fountains as I know most bacteria and viruses are presumably neutralized. ## Battery Life The battery recharges with a Micro USB cable (included) and virtually any USB charger (not included). It takes about an hour to charge and can last up to a month when using the “normal” 1-minute sanitation cycle. ## Summary The self-cleaning technology in the LARQ water bottle makes it ideal if you’re a little lazy like me and don’t wash your reusable water bottle as often as you should. It’s also handy if you get your water from some iffy sources from time to time and want to make sure it is bacteria and virus free.
