Are you always feeling thirsty? I sure am, and that’s why I was looking for a sort of bottle that I don’t have to clean myself. Yeah, I’m lazy like that, but I like to hydrate while working or gaming; what can I do? Don’t blame me for trying to find tech solutions to avoid chores, and I will also use a calculator to do my math; I won’t have that conversation again. So, where were we? The LARQ team was so kind to give us a test sample of their water bottle with interesting technology, and we tested it out in this review, so you don’t have to.
In the world of water bottles, the LARQ Bottle PureVis stands out as a game-changer. It’s not just a container for your drinks; it’s a self-cleaning water bottle and water purification system that promises to deliver clean, fresh water at the touch of a button. But does it live up to its hefty promises? Let’s find out.
Design and build: Aesthetics meets durability
The first thing you’ll notice about the LARQ Bottle PureVis is its sleek design. Available in both insulated and non-insulated versions, this bottle comes in various sizes and attractive color options to suit different lifestyles and preferences.
However, the LARQ Bottle PureVis isn’t just about looks. The build quality is solid, and it feels slightly heavy in hand, possibly due to the durable material used in its construction. This weight adds to the premium feel of the bottle but could be a drawback for those who prefer lightweight bottles.
Cutting-edge technology: PureVis in action
At the heart of the LARQ Bottle PureVis is its groundbreaking PureVis technology. Using UV-C LED lights, this bottle purifies water and cleans the inner surfaces, effectively deactivating bacteria by breaking the DNA’s chemical bonds.

This technology sets the LARQ Bottle PureVis apart from other water bottles. It offers purified water at the touch of a button and prevents unpleasant odors that can often develop in conventional water bottles over time.
User experience: Simplicity and convenience
Despite its high-tech features, using the LARQ Bottle PureVis is surprisingly simple. Fill the bottle with water, twist the lid back on, and hit the single button on the lid to start the purification process. A glowing light indicates the cleaning process has started; once it stops, your water is ready to drink.
One standout feature of this bottle is its auto-cleaning function. It periodically cleans itself to maintain water quality, offering users peace of mind and convenience. Charging the bottle is also straightforward, though it’s worth noting that it uses a Micro-USB port instead of the more modern USB Type-C, which might be a slight inconvenience for some users and is not justified for the price tag.
A luxury investment?
Priced at around $89 for the cheapest option, the LARQ Bottle PureVis certainly falls into the luxury tech category, I would say. But considering its innovative features, performance, and durability, it could be seen as a worthwhile long-term investment, especially for those who frequently travel or prefer to drink purified water wherever they might be.
