LARQ Pitcher PureVis™: The first multi-stage purification water pitcher

Traditional filters simply trap contaminants where they can quickly multiply and reverse contaminate your drinking water. The LARQ Pitcher PureVis™ neutralizes contaminants by going beyond filtration*†.

Better filtration
Our innovative plant-based filters are independently tested to NSF/ANSI 42, 53 & 401 standards to be effective against pollutants like lead, chlorine, PFAS/ PFOS, HAA5, pharmaceuticals, mercury, VOCs, cadmium, and particulates†.

PureVis™ technology
Proprietary PureVis™ technology improves the quality of your water by inhibiting bio- contaminant* growth.

*In lab testing, PureVis™ inhibits and deactivates naturally occurring heterotrophic bacteria that may cause odor and impact the taste of water compared to non-UV treated water pitchers.
**with Advanced Filter.
† Tested to NSF/ANSI 42, 53 & 401 standards. For details on specific contaminant removal visit www.livelarq.com.

Product care

PureVis™ technology activates automatically in the background to help keep your LARQ Pitcher PureVis™ clean*. However, we do recommend washing the LARQ Pitcher PureVis™ (it’s dishwasher-safe!*) every 2-3 months when you need to replace the filter for a quick reset clean.
Before washing the LARQ Pitcher PureVis™, remove the PureVis™ Wand and hand wash with mild soap and warm water. Don’t worry, the PureVis™ Wand is completely waterproof! Do not put the PureVis™ Wand in the dishwasher.
We also recommend that you give the PureVis™ Wand a full charge every time you replace the filter.
In lab testing, PureVis™ prevents and deactivates naturally occurring heterotrophic bacteria that may cause odor and impact the taste of water compared to non-UV treated water pitchers.
**Put smaller parts like the LARQ Pitcher PureVis™ lid, hopper, and filter lid in the top tray of the dishwasher.  Do NOT put the PureVis™ Wand in the dishwasher, handwash only.
