As Taylor Williams from Love Island USA Season 7 once said, "I pick Clarke."
Personally, if I were Taylor, I would have picked Olandria... but when it comes to my hydration goals and my mild contamination OCD tendencies, I pick Larq
While the thought of microplastic consumption from plastic bottles genuinely scared me, I still couldn’t get over how clean and fresh bottled water felt. I was borderline addicted to that crisp, just-opened taste.
After years of convincing myself that Essentia was the superior choice, I finally had to admit it wasn’t exactly sustainable... for the planet or my wallet.
That is, until I met my new water bottle, whom I’ve lovingly named Larqy.
What is LARQ?
Larqy, otherwise known as a Larq Bottle with PureVis™ technology, is a self-cleaning water bottle that uses UV-C light to clean both the water and the inside of the bottle. So, I never have to spiral, thinking there is mold secretly growing inside, since the bottle literally cleans itself.
Long story short, Larqy has a few things up its sleeve:
Purifies water and eliminates bacteria, viruses, and mold using built-in UV-C LED technology.
One-button cleaning: activates a 60-second cycle that neutralizes up to 99.9999% of bio-contaminants in the water and on the bottle’s inner surface.
Self-cleans automatically every two hours, keeping the bottle fresh and odor-free without the hassle of constant washing.
Insulated design keeps drinks cold for 24 hours or hot for 12 hours.
Rechargeable via USB, making it easy to maintain and perfect for daily use.
A study by Harrens Lab Inc. tested the LARQ Bottle’s UV-C LED technology against Salmonella Typhimurium in contaminated water. Results showed that the bottle eliminated up to 99.9999% of bacteria within just 1–3 minutes, depending on the cleaning mode!
Read the full study here if you do not believe me.
But, I forgot to mention my absolute FAVORITE feature about my Larqy
LARQ's Smart Hydration system automatically tracks my water consumption throughout the day, giving me personalized data on my hydration habits, showing trends, and general progress. Everytime you open and close the cap, the LARQ bottle uses sensors to detect changes in the bottle's water level (no effort required).
As a health & wellness guru, I love being able to micromanage and track my routines, especially my hydration, so this feature is a game-changer for me.
My LARQ Stats
Based on my in-app analytics, I have saved $387 on bottled water, reduced by carbon footprint by 45.4lbs, and reduced plastic waste by 10.4lbs.
In about 30 days of having the bottle, I have filtered around 32.8 gallons of water!
I am honestly obsessed with the data side of it, and it makes my hydration feel much more intentional and integrated into my overall wellness journey.
If you’re interested, I can post a follow-up blog where I take on a hydration challenge to hit (or even exceed) my water goals every day and share what I learn along the way... stay tuned!
Ultimately, if I can have a kid (hydrated) feeling like Taylor Williams from Love Island, so can you.
Stay Hydrated with Larq¨– or as Addison Rae would say, "hi draded!"
