LARQPitcher PureVis 1.9L/ 8-Cup | Self-Cleaning UV Water Filter Pitcher for Tap and Drinking Water | Removes Chlorine, PFAS, PFOS, and More | Plant-Based Carbon Filter, 1-Year Warranty

I drink a lot if water so it needs to be clean!! While I do have a distiller as well, this is a quick and easy addition. Takes out all the chlorine taste. Great product

The LARQ Pitcher has been a game-changer for me and my household! I'm a proud owner of one of their bottles as well, but as the COVID pandemic hit, we (and the whole world) had to stay home of course. This theoretically made the Pitcher far more practical and useful in our day-to-day lives than ever before, so we pulled the trigger on one and couldn't be happier.As the world opened back up, we found that we had kept a lower profile than in pre-pandemic times, and opted to stay home a lot more. While we still use our LARQ Bottle a good amount, the Pitcher has been indispensable for its much larger volume and its ability to replace our old Brita, while providing us with UV purification while drinking from normal glassware (which I prefer to drink out of while at home). It holds a charge for a long time and is easy to charge with the included magnetic cable. It's also easy to clean and the flat filter form-factor is super easy to change (we're also happy with how long the filters have lasted for us). The design is clean and modern, and I think it would work with any kitchen/home decor.The accompanying app works well enough, I expect that it will be updated in the future with some UX enhancements (for example, making it clear that you can tap the LARQ logo to kick off a UV cycle on demand) but otherwise it's reliable and works well. It would be nice if this app could be tied into future models of their bottles as well.For someone without a UV purification device in their home at all yet, this is a cost-effective way to get started; no expensive hardware installs or trips to the water store. We now believe that we are drinking the purest water possible, at home or while away at the cabin (it's so portable!).

Product marked as 'new' and after one day using the product the filter replacement indicater signaled. I downloaded the LARQ app which told me this filter was first used over a year ago (ie not new) and should be replaced immediately. Tried to return and LARQ not helpful at all.

Had to replace our PUR water pitcher. Was tired of waiting 1 hour for water to filter. With much research decided to give the LARQ a try. The taste of the water in our town is not drinkable out of the tap. So far we are extremely happy with the Lara. The pitcher is very attractive and easy to pour. What is amazing is that it filters more contaminants than many other systems and filters the water very quickly. I also like that it kills any bacteria in the water. We leave it out on the counter and with the warmer weather that is a big concern. Oh, forgot to mention that the water tastes great! The supporting app is also very helpful with the information it provides like life of the filter and how many gallons we use. The price of the filters seem to be comparable to others. The company says their filters do last longer, but that is something we will have to determine.

It’s just what I needed to be able to charge my new water filter pitcher with ultra violet light disinfecting ability.

I've been using this filter pitcher for six months. Water tastes great. Because I haven't had the water independently tested, I can't say if it's really filtering out what it says it does, specifically PFOA and PFOS chemicals.The pitcher itself is well designed, except it consistently dribbles water all over the floor or counter if tipped past about 45° when pouring; and at 45°, it's a VERY, VERY SLOW POUR.The other design flaw is in the Filter Alert system. The Advanced Filter is supposed to be good for 90 days or 60 gallons. However, if you don't filter 60 gallons of water in ninety days, you still get an alert on the pitcher itself (flashing orange light) and on your phone (via the LARQ app) that the FILTER IS DEPLETED. I start getting these alerts at around 30 gallons (see picture) as I approach the 90 day limit.So the question is: do I still have functioning filter capacity left? I should, because I haven't reached 60 gallons, yet the unit and app are telling me, multiple times a day, that my filter is depleted. If I was filtering just for chlorine or something affecting taste, no big deal, but I'm filtering to remove PSAS and PFOS Forever Chemicals: much bigger deal.Resolving the confusion over functional filter life boils down to Customer Service, which at LARQ, is close to zero, none-at-all.First, there is no way to talk to a real person. Email only. The website states you can expect a response in 24 hours. Every single email I've sent to customer service gets an instant reply that states: "We are experiencing higher than usual volume, so please expect longer than usual wait times. Don't worry, a very real human will respond to your inquiry as soon as we're able!" Well, if they respond, it's usually in a week or more, and just as often not at all, resulting in having to send multiple emails about the same issue.Responses to my confusion/confidence regarding filter capacity (60 gallons vs 90 days), is always an email that states (copy line from the website): "Depending on your household and local water quality, the LARQ filter should last up to 3 months of use or filter up to 60 gallons (227 liters) of water:” This response does not really answer my question without making some assumptive interpretations.If I'm being cynical, this is a good ploy to get everyone NOT FILTERING 60 gallons of water within 90 days or less, to replace the $24 Advanced Filter more often than needed, out of an abundance of caution, due to the incessant Filter Alert warning. In my case, twice as often. Or, it's a design flaw in the software that starts sending out alerts that the filter is depleted at 90 days or 60 gallons, whichever comes first, when, in fact, the filter is not depleted, as I've only filtered 30-37 gallons of water. But I don't know for sure, because the only clarification I get from Customer Service is a copy line about filter life from the website. The ability to speak with a real person would clarify the issue in less than 30 seconds.Frustrating. A little customer service would go a long way. This appears to be a quality product that deserves better customer service. Now that my confidence is shaken however, I am going to have my LARQ filtered water tested to see if this LARQ Pitcher PureVis Monaco Blue (Advanced Filter) is really filtering out all that it claims to.
