Larq water bottle

[cjoseph90]

Anyone own one? Does it actually do what it claims? Or just expensive hyped up?

[Jason Actualization]

What do you currently use?

I have never owned one, but from what I can see, I like that it's made of stainless steel, but everything else is hype in my estimation.

For cleaning and maintaining an odorless container, fantastic, just don't rely on it to purify the contents of the container (for that, opt for either RO or distilled water).

Im just using plástico Walter bottles, sometimes a glass 1. RO isnt an option for me where i live.

Gotcha. I would consider investing in a countertop water distiller (one that vapor distills in stainless steel and collects into glass).

Does the bottle say which recycle # it is? #2 is the safest (HDPE) and secondarily, #5, anything else I would refrain from using.

But honestly, investing in a stainless steel water bottle is the true solution here, I don't think you need to spend close to $100 USD for the Larq; you should be able to find something in the $20-$25 USD range.

Simple stainless steel works great.

I have been using Glass water bottles. Is stainless steel better?

Late night shower thought : If you're LGBTQ you could use a thin plastic bottle and leave it exposed to sun rays to supplement microplastics 🤔

Not from a health perspective, but from a durability/longevity perspective, yes.

[Leo Gura]

Glass is heavy and fragile. I have dropped my steel bottles many times with just a few dents.

So I use these ones with a silicone protective layer.

Pretty durable, I’ve dropped a few times and hasn’t broken. But this one is only 1L. If I were to get a bigger one, probably would break easier.

The good thing with the glass breaking in this bottle is that the silicone layer would probably keep all or most of the glass within its ”bag”, so it would be easy to clean.

It would just come down to how much water was in the bottle, at what spot does the bottle crack, and how big of a crack.

The benefit of glass compared to stainless steel is you do a quick visual scan to see how much water is in the bottle. It’s a personal preference.

I personally use stainless steel and like to feel how heavy it is to see if it needs to be refilled.

Nothing wrong with that my friend. My preference is this 40 oz tapered (fits in standard cup holsters) stainless steel bottle.

My response to this post would be your username.... mm Kay...

Honestly not really caught up in using special drinking bottles. I see water. I see a cup. Fill cup up and drink water. A pur faucet mount filter is typically what I use just for the taste.

How many hundreds of times per day do you spill that entire cup of water? Your house must be soaked AF

Thing looks crazy unstable 😂

Or invent transparent stainless steel

That’s a very Apple thing to do

Lol, it's a water-tight seal, it does not spill/leak and has never fallen over.
