Corporate LARQ Water Bottles

Reusable water bottles have become essential eco-friendly accessories for people on the go. For many, keeping a water bottle handy is as second nature as always having their cell phone with them. Custom reusable bottles help busy, health-conscious people stay hydrated without wasting multiple disposable plastic bottles every day.

However, because convenience is such an integral part of their popularity, users often go days or weeks between thoroughly cleaning their bottles. Corporate self-cleaning bottles still appear clean even after multiple uses; after all, you’re just putting water in them. But in reality, the moist, dark environment inside a reusable bottle is a prime breeding ground for harmful bacteria.

That’s why LARQ, an exciting new company launched in 2018, has innovated the reusable bottle market with self-cleaning bottles and pitchers that use UV-C LED light to kill up to 99.9999% of bacteria. When you choose LARQ’s self-cleaning water bottle as your custom corporate merch, your logo will be front and center as your clients and colleagues carry this product with them all day, every day.

Background of LARQ Water Bottles

LARQ founder Justin Wang and his team started the company in 2018, and their first Kickstarter campaign raised $1.4 million in less than 30 days. The company was founded on the idea that people would like to forgo single-use water bottles, but they often give up on reusable bottles because of issues of cleanliness and odor. Wang, however, believed these problems could be addressed through technology.

Enlisting co-founder and physicist Douglas Collins to develop proprietary tech to allow bottles to clean themselves through UV-C light, and they began developing multiple patents. The technology in LARQ products not only cleans the bottle itself, but also purifies the water inside it for a healthier and more delicious water experience.

LARQ had strong sales and successful fundraising efforts from the beginning, but the company reached a new level of exposure when Wang pitched his custom self-cleaning water bottle to potential investors on Shark Tank in 2021. The panel of sharks initially laughed at Wang’s claims about the company’s value, but once he explained the technology and early sales success, that laughter turned into a $1 million investment.

How LARQ Bottles Work

LARQ’s proprietary technology is called PurVis, and it uses the power of the sun– 280 nanometer UV-C light– to actually destroy the DNA of bacteria-causing germs, thereby neutralizing them. For instance, the 20-second cleaning cycle of a corporate LARQ bottle destroys 99.8% of E.coli, and a longer 3-minute cycle destroys 99.9999% of Salmonella. The company backs up these numbers with detailed data; its website shares the full lab reports from certified third-party studies.

LARQ rises to the top of the smart bottle market by creating products that improve water quality and taste while keeping the reusable bottles clean. Using cutting-edge technology that requires no chemicals, mercury, or replacement filters; corporate LARQ water bottles can bring your company’s hydration to the next level.

To activate these state-of-the-art functions, you simply press the cap of the bottle to start a full cleaning cycle. Plus, the PurVis technology automatically runs a short cleaning cycle every two hours, ensuring that your custom logo LARQ bottle stays free of bacteria throughout your day.

The tech is powered by a battery that is charged conveniently via an included Micro-USB cable. Each full charge lasts about a month, depending on the frequency of cleaning cycles, so battery life can be the least of your daily worries.
