How high-tech do you want your water bottles to be?

The new CamelBak All Clear is a portable bottle with an innovative use of technology allowing it to disinfect its contained water with UV-C light. Finally, a good solution for those outdoorsy types looking to get clean water on the go has arrived.

The portable water bottles come in specialized varieties, with some designed for water, coffee and smoothies, that have their own separate features aside from all being economical and easy to use. They will also be in different shapes and sizes so those with certain needs will have lots to choose from.

Water is disinfected by exposing the liquid to ultraviolet light from the bottom of the lid. After filling the container from a stream or faucet, capping the lid on and pushing its button will start a 60 second lighting of the contents while the user shakes it for better coverage. The UV-C light destroys microorganisms within that time, after which, the LED screen lights up green signalling safe to drink water.

The bottle’s light is powered by a rechargeable lithium ion battery pack which can last 80 cycles of water before needing a recharge via the included USB cable. Both the bulb and the battery are meant to last 10,000 cycles and should definitely be worth the almost $100 price tag.

The product website markets the UV bottle for frequent travelers who won’t always have a drinkable source of water. The CamelBak All Clear would be perfect for those occasions so that you stay healthy and disease-free even if you grab a drink from undistilled sources. There’s even a filter so you can make sure that small particles won’t collect on the bottle if you fill the bottle from a natural body of water.
