Ditch Your Old Water Bottle for Vitaloop

If you’re looking for a new water bottle — particularly one with its own filtration system — consider Vitaloop, an auto-filtration water bottle that can replace up to 400 plastic bottles of water with just one filtration cartridge.

 

You can use Vitaloop with water you find anywhere — in a lake, river, pond or from a questionable tap. Just fill the bottle, press a button and the water is ready to drink in 45 seconds.

 

The bottle works on a battery that can purify a full bottle of water up to 100 times, or about the equivalent of 13 gallons of water, on one charge. Plus, DualLoop technology ensures the potentially contaminated water  you poured into the bottle doesn’t go anywhere you might touch with your mouth, or anywhere that could contaminate the filtered water.

 

“My journey with Vitaloop began in an unlikely place: my quest for the perfect cup of coffee. Over the years, from bean selection to brewing, I learned that the essence of an exceptional coffee wasn’t just in the bean or the grind, but in the quality of the water,” said Arild Vikingstad, creator, Vitaloop. “Imagine a world where you’re not just drinking water, but experiencing it in its purest form, no matter where you are. That’s the world we aim to build with Vitaloop.”

 

Vitaloop is currently available for pre-order on Kickstarter for $199.
