Introducing the LARQ Pitcher!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Sep 01, 2020 at 11:15:12 PM

Hey backers!

I am so excited to let you know that we've just launched the LARQ Pitcher - the first multi-stage countertop water pitcher that delivers pure water beyond filtration.  I also want to thank you for being part of the journey with us from the early days of the LARQ Bottle - or QUARTZ for those in the know ;)

Traditional water pitchers on the market today mostly improve the cosmetic profile of water like the taste but need serious improvements on performance. The majority of water you drink is at home (even more true in the current pandemic), making it more important than ever for your water pitcher to purify effectively and provide you with crisp, clean drinking water. This is where the LARQ Pitcher comes in.

After many long hours meticulously tweaking every little detail, I’m confident that the LARQ Pitcher will be the last water pitcher you’ll ever need.

Don’t just filter—purify.

Traditional pitchers only trap and collect pollutants, which actually ends up reverse-contaminating your water. That’s why we invented the LARQ Pitcher. The LARQ Pitcher goes beyond filtration with unique 2-step filtration and purification.

The LARQ Pitcher with 2-Step Filtration + Purification

Step 1 - Better filtration

Our innovative plant-based filters effectively remove pollutants like lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, chlorine, VOCs, and more to deliver the best-tasting water without compromising efficacy.

Step 1 - Better filtration

Step 2 PureVis™ purification

Go beyond filtration with our proprietary PureVis™ technology, which eradicates bacteria, viruses, and mold to ensure your water is as pure as nature intended.

Step 2 - PureVis Purification

LARQ and community driven COVID-19 relief initiatives
about 4 years ago – Mon, Apr 13, 2020 at 05:47:55 PM

Hi backers,

It’s been a while since we’ve sent an update and we feel like this is a good time to reconnect. From the start, a big part of LARQ’s mission has been to improve the health and wellness within our community. Our community has grown a lot since then–reaching a global scale–so given what’s going on in the world, we didn't want to sit idly by. We wanted to share with you, our earliest supporters, a few things we are doing to help combat COVID-19, and how you can help to contribute to the relief efforts.

Care packages to frontline healthcare heroes

We recently sent 50 care packages to frontline healthcare heroes nominated by loved ones. These care packages each included a LARQ Bottle and 20 surgical face masks. Winners varied from ICU nurses to doctors to occupational therapists and even medical residents working the frontlines and putting themselves at risk to provide care for others. We were humbled to read such heartwarming nominations. We also want to express a sincere thank you for those of you that helped to connect us with these stories from the healthcare frontline.

Take $20 and pay it forward

Currently, donations from our Take $20 and pay it forward campaign go toward Direct Relief, a nonprofit organization that is providing healthcare heroes the much needed personal protective equipment (PPE), helping mobilize private resources to prepare for ICU patients, and boosting support to safety-net facilities worldwide.⁠

Now through April 30, 2020, you can take $20 off your purchase and in its place, a $20 donation will automatically be applied towards Direct Relief. We know times are tough so we're also giving you the option to donate what you can ($15, $10, or $5) but we'll be taking $20 off regardless of the donation amount. We’re hoping for the best during this time and offering our gratitude to people working the frontlines.

Got time for a DIY sanitization box?

Due to shortages in resources, we’ve been receiving messages from customers asking us how to use our PureVis™ technology in other ways around the house. With some tinkering, we put together this fun DIY project for building your own at-home UV-sanitization system using your LARQ Bottle’s cap. We call it: The Bust-a-germ Box.  You can sanitize everyday household items like phones, keys, airpods and facemasks so that more of the resources can go towards those that need it most.

DIY Bust-a-germ sanitization box

While bust-a-germ is sanitizing, bust this rhyme:

The Bust-a-germ Beat

  • Pack it up, box it in, Let me begin
  • I came to clean, infect me that’s a sin
  • I won’t ever slack up, cold you better back up
  • Try and stop the world and yo the whole crew’ll act up
  • Get up, stand up, c’mon, wash your hands up
  • If you’ve got the inklin’, use our box for cleanin’

- inspired by the tune of “Jump Around” – House of Pain

Since the launch of this Kickstarter campaign, we’ve hit the ground running on product updates, new and exciting releases, and exclusive backer-only offers, and we’re grateful for your continued support.

If you have any questions or if you just want to say hello, please email us at [email protected].

Drink brilliantly,

Justin
