Does the LARQ Bottle PureVis™ 2 offer hydration tracking?

Yes, the LARQ Bottle PureVis™ 2 automatically tracks your hydration consumption and you can look at your hydration insights using the LARQ App.

Last updated: April 30, 2024 15:58

How does the LARQ Bottle PureVis™ 2 hydration tracking system work?

The cap has a built-in sensor for hydration tracking. After filling the bottle and screwing on the cap, place the bottle on a flat table. The cap will glow a white light indicating that a measurement has been taken; this can take up to 5s after placing it on the table.

Hydration tracking works best with cold or room-temperature liquids. Hot liquids will fog up the sensors and tracking will not be accurate.

Is it safe to put the LARQ Bottle PureVis™ 2 in the fridge?

How do I clean the LARQ Bottle PureVis™ 2?

Remove the filter from the filter pod. Then, give your PureVis™ 2 Cap and filter straw attachment a warm soapy rinse every 1-2 weeks, especially in the mouth area where the UV technology doesn’t reach. It’s also a good idea to wash the LARQ Bottle with warm soapy water once a month (for example, while your PureVis™ Cap is charging) for a quick reset. Do not put the PureVis™ 2 Cap in the dishwasher.

Can I use the LARQ Bottle PureVis™ 2 in the backcountry?

Yes! For use in the backcountry, first, take out the Filter Straw and use PureVis™ Adventure Mode (double-click) on its own. Then, put the Filter Straw back in. Finally, fill with water that is clear to the eyes with no sediments.

As a rule of thumb in the backcountry or on hikes, stick to running water sources such as rivers, streams, or waterfalls, further away from vegetation.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
