How do I charge my UVBrite bottle?
Your UVBrite bottle can be charged by using a USB-C cable. The port is located on the lid, under a waterproof flap. A charging cable is included with every bottle and can be plugged into any USB power plug or the USB port of a computer.
How do I activate the purification cycle?
The purification cycle can be activated by pressing the top button once for the Normal mode or twice for Blitz mode.
Do UVBrite bottles keep water hot or cold?
UVBrite bottles will keep water hot or cold for up to 12-hours.
What is the difference between Normal and Blitz modes?
Normal mode is either a 90-second or 180-second cycle depending on the bottle. Blitz mode runs for either 180-seconds or 300-seconds depending on the bottle. Normal mode is great for water from known sources such as water fountains, home water, etc. Blitz mode is recommended for water from sources that are not trusted and require extra purification. Please note that the purification system will only work on clear water. Murky water or water with physical impurities will affect the efficacy of the purification system.
Does UVBrite remove physical impurities such as chlorine, heavy metals or fluoride?
The UVBrite system does not have any filters to remove physical impurities from the water. The technology, however, is effective in eliminating up to 99.99% of microbes in the Normal mode and reduces the build-up of microbes inside the bottle, which causes odors and can causess.
What is the safety lock and how does it work?
Accidental exposure of UV-C light to the eyes can cause damage to the cornea. To prevent this from happening, all UVBrite products have a safety lock built-in. This lock prevents the purification system from working if the lid is not securely fastened on the bottle, or if the lid is removed while a cycle is ongoing.

Uses & Cleaning
Can I fly with my UVBrite water bottle?
You should not have any problems taking your UVBrite bottles on flights. Please ensure that the bottle is empty when going through security. Some airlines may prevent carrying the UVBrite bottles in your checked luggage because of the Lithium-ion batteries inside.
Can I use my UVBrite bottles to purify water from streams while hiking or camping?
Yes, you most definitely can. The bottles will eliminate up to 99.99% of microbes from the water, ensuring that it is pure and free from disease-causing germs. However, the system will not remove physical impurities from water. We recommend only consuming water that is clear to the eyes. This allows the purification system to work at full efficiency, and run a Blitz mode cycle instead of the normal one.
Can I fill my water up with other liquids such as tea, coffee or juices?
Yes, you can, but we don’t recommend it. The bottle will work perfectly well for storing any liquids in an insulated environment. However, the bottle will have to be cleaned properly before it can be reused with water. This is to ensure that there is no buildup of residue which could impact the efficacy of the purification system.
How do I clean my UV-C bottles?
Because of the self-cleaning functionality of UVBrite bottles, they don’t require frequent cleaning. However, we recommend cleaning the mouth of the bottle regularly with warm soapy water to stop residual buildup. The lid can also be hand washed with warm, soapy water and air dried.
Is the lid waterproof?
Yes, the lid on a UVBrite water bottle is IPX7 waterproof. We recommend hand washing the lid in warm soapy water and air drying it completely before charging or use.
