Admit it, you clean your water bottle sparingly, at best. The Quartz Bottle, which was on display today at the CES tech show in Las Vegas, wants to take over the responsibility by using ultraviolet light to keep itself and your water clean.
Here’s how Quartz works: The cap of the 18-ounce (about half a liter) bottle contains a UV-C light that activates every four hours. According to Quartz, that UV light purifies your water and the bottle itself.
Quartz will cost $99 when it goes on sale later this year (converts to roughly AU$125, £75). There’s already plenty of interest in it, as the company raised almost $1.4 million during its Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign last year.
