Currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, the Quartz Bottle is a cleaner water bottle for people who love crystals and are suspicious of stinky drinking vessels. Described as "pure water from a cleaner bottle," the invention is self-cleaning and features digital water purification. A 280nm UV-C LED light kills virtually all bio-contaminants from your water and the bottle's surface. All you have to do is press a button on the lid.
The cleaner water bottle doesn't require any filters and the LEDs within will automatically activate every 4 hours to keep you healthy. The Quartz Bottle is double insulated, which will keep water cold for up to 24 hours or its contents hot for 12 hours. It's also extremely portable to use.
