The LARQ Pitcher PureVis with Advanced Filter
LARQ
A portable filtration option comes in the form of the LARQ Pitcher PureVis with Advanced Filter. This eight-cup, intelligent water pitcher comes with a two-stage filtration process.First, a plant-based filter removes lead, chlorine, mercury, cadmium, VOCs, PFAS / PFOA, HAA5, pharmaceuticals and more, and then the LARQ PureVis Wand gives your water an extra filtration boost. The Wand strips the liquid of any bio-contaminant growth via a little zap of UV light. Better still, the Wand uses smart sensors to track filter use and flow rate, allowing Pitcher users to keep tabs on their consumption, via the LARQ app, and receive a precise reading of when they need a filter replacement.
