Wondering how LARQ Bottle PureVis™ works exactly? Well, wonder no more. (Hint: It’s actually really easy.) One would even venture to say that it’s as easy as pushing a button.
Before you get started, give the bottle a little soapy sponge bath. Don’t worry, the cap is waterproof (IPX7-rated). Right after its bath, air dry the LARQ cap on a dish rack completely before plugging it in to charge.
#1 Unlock LARQ
Press and hold the button down for 5 seconds to unlock the bottle for the first time. A white color light will flash signifying that it is unlocked and ready for cleaning action! If no light appears, simply plug it in to charge—this will automatically unlock your LARQ Cap so it’s ready for adventure.
#2 Give it a good charge
Power that baby up! Insert the micro-USB end into the cap (on or off the bottle). Then, plug the USB end into a USB wall adapter or USB port of a laptop until the battery is fully charged. You’ll know when it’s fully charged when the green light is steady.Â
#3 Fill it up
Fill with clear water up to the indicator line. Then, screw on the cap and press the button to get purifying! Press once for Normal Mode, and twice for Adventure Mode. (Do not interrupt the PureVis™ cycle by removing the cap or pressing the button!)
Functionality
Normal mode
Drinking water from a trusted source? Press once to activate Normal Mode, a 60-second cycle with a breathing sky blue light.
Adventure Mode
Need an extra dose of PureVis™ power? Press twice to activate Adventure Mode, a 3-minute cycle with a pulsing blue light.
Self-cleaning Mode
Your LARQ Bottle loves to stay clean. That’s why every 2 hours, it will intelligently activate Self-Cleaning Mode, a 10-second cycle with breathing sky blue light.
Travel Lock
Hopping around the world on your next adventure? Hold down for 5 seconds to activate the Travel Lock, which disables Self-Cleaning Mode and any accidental activation during travel or in storage.
#4 Wait just 60 seconds for brilliantly clean water!
Give your bottle a little whirl (we like to do our happy dance) while your bottle is purifying to spread the UV-C light’s love in there. Now you’re ready to #DrinkBrilliantly with fresh water from a clean bottle.
Seems simple enough right? Right! It’s super easy to use and is designed to fit into your life seamlessly. Beauty and brains. Something you never knew you’d want in a water bottle.
Before we let you go, there are a few things you should know about your LARQ Bottle. There are many smart features packed into this. Just wait and see.
About your action-packed LARQ Bottle
- LARQ Bottle is waterproof! You heard that right. Don’t stress about dropping it in the sink or rinsing it off if you got a little dust on it. Its USB has a waterproof rating of IPX7, which means it can handle immersion up to 1 meter (3 feet) in water for up to 30 minutes.
- Take your bottle on adventures with you! LARQ Bottle is travel-friendly, whether it is traveling internationally (going through TSA), backpacking across the country, or camping. Since it’s a relatively new product, you might get some looks (probably in admiration), but our team has flown with it and haven’t had any issues getting past TSA.
- Live your life, charge less. One full charge lasts up to 1-2 months based on 3-4 cycles a day. Normal mode lasts up to 4-8 weeks and Adventure Mode lasts up to 10-12 days. What can we say? It’s ready for action.
- Fill up with confidence. Refill your LARQ Bottle with water from water fountains, sinks and taps, restaurants, rivers, and even waterfalls (you little adventurer you). The minimum requirement is that the water is clear—no particulates of any kind. LARQ Bottle PureVis™ will eradicate 99.99% of bio-contaminants (based on the elimination of 99.8% of E.coli in a 20-second cycle for all LARQ Bottles*) but isn’t going to filter heavy metals or chlorine out of your water. (If you’re looking for something that removes heavy metals, chlorine, mercury, lead and more, take a peek at our LARQ Bottle Filtered) Use Adventure Mode if you’re ever a little unsure about the water for an added boost of bacteria-killing power. *In Adventure Mode.
- It’s quiet. In case you were wondering, LARQ Bottle is completely quiet. No humming, buzzing or singing so you can keep on doing you, uninterrupted.
- Cold or hot? Both! LARQ Bottle PureVis™ keeps water cold for 24 hours and hot for 12 hours. If you don’t really care about insulation, but want a lighter weight bottle, check out the LARQ Bottle Movement PureVis™, our ultra-lightweight, higher capacity PureVis™ equipped model.
A beautifully designed high-tech water bottle was just what you needed in your life to help you #DrinkBrilliantly with brilliantly clean water anywhere you go.
We know, we’re in love too and we’re not afraid to say it.
