Lyfe Bottle
Duration: 5 Weeks
The outdoor self-disinfecting water bottle.
We deserve clean water.
When camping in remote areas, water may appear crystal clear and unpolluted, yet it can still harbor active bacteria that may cause illness if not properly treated.
So how do we disinfect our water?
All unfiltered water will have small amounts of bacteria, especially when pulling from natural sources such as lakes or rivers. Campers use something called "Iodine Tablets" that dissolve in the water and kill all bacteria and ecoli.
But, too much iodine comes with
HEALTH RISKS
As its common for campers to disinfect with iodine, many outdoor enthusiasts have gotten ill from the continued high dose of Iodine thats put into their water.

Fabrication Parts
Solar Panels
Dual solar panels harness sunlight and convert it into electrical energy, which is then stored in the battery.
Lithium Battery
Delivers more than 50 purification cycles per charge before requiring recharging.
Charging Board
Battery management board ensures safe operation during both wall charging and discharging.
Solar Board
Solar panels generate variable voltages unsuitable for direct battery charging, this board regulates and stabilizes the output to ensure safe, consistent charging.
UV-C LED
Provides a wavelength of UV light that kills almost all bacteria.
