Can smart water bottles really purify water, or is it just hype? Yes — if they use UV-C technology. We explain how these bottles kill 99.99% of germs without chemicals, what they can and can’t remove, and how they help you ditch single-use plastic for good.
UV-C light is no longer just for hospitals — it’s now inside your water bottle. Using 260–280nm ultraviolet light, UV-C scrambles the DNA of harmful microbes, delivering safe, clean water without chemicals or waste. From municipal systems to smart gear like Voxpure bottles, this tech is going global. Backed by peer-reviewed studies and real-world deployments — from New York City to the ISS.
