Collection: Water Filter Bottles

UV-C refers to ultraviolet-C radiation, which is a type of ultraviolet (UV) light. The C refers to the ultraviolet light with shorter wavelength and higher energy compared to UVA and UVB radiation. UV-C light is known for its germicidal properties, making it effective for disinfection purposes. It can kill or inactivate microorganisms like bacteria and viruses by damaging their DNA or RNA, making it useful in various applications such as water purification, air sterilization and surface disinfection. The high quality of the PureVis UV-C LED in the BRITA LARQ iQ bottle ensures 99.99% of bacteria in the water are eliminated. It has been tested and certified by the IWW, a German institute for water research.

The cap has a built-in sensor for hydration tracking. After filling the bottle and screwing on the cap, place the bottle on a flat table. The cap will glow a white light indicating that a measurement has been taken; this can take up to 5 seconds after placing it on the table.
Hydration tracking works best with cold or room-temperature liquids. Hot liquids will fog up the sensors and tracking will not be accurate.

The BRITA LARQ filter improves taste and reduces PFAS*, smallest particulates, chlorine and trace impurities such as certain pesticides, herbicides and hormones** ***

*PFAS such as PFOS/PFOA (forever chemicals). Tested in reference to NSF/ANSI 53
**Tested in reference to NSF/ANSI 42, 53 & 401 standards
***As far as contained in tap water

The BRITA MicroDisc uses Pure-Taste-Technology to effectively filter unwanted substances while allowing minerals to pass through.

The main ingredient of the BRITA MicroDisc is fine grained activated carbon made from natural coconut shells that contains a highly porous structure. This porous structure has a very large inner surface with millions of tiny pores that trap and lock away unwanted substances such as chlorine and other taste impairing substances, as well as micro particles (≥ 15 μm). The result is fresh and pure-tasting water.

To create the solid disc of the MicroDisc, a fleece and a small amount of a binder is required to bind the granulated activated carbon together. All ingredients of the BRITA MicroDisc have been tested to food-grade quality. 

Yes, minerals can pass through the BRITA MicroDisc water filter. It's designed to filter unwanted substances (e.g. chlorine, micro particles and trace impurities) and at the same time allow minerals (e.g. calcium and magnesium) to pass through.
