A new “smart” water bottle has the ability to test the quality and purify the water poured into it. Using a three level filter the smart bottle can remove chemicals such as chlorine and pesticides, heavy metals, and also some types of bacteria. The bottles are expected to be available in March 2017 as part of a Kickstarter project and backers will be able to purchase the bottles for $129 each.

Key Takeaways:

• Tap water is safe in most (though not all) US cities, though if you want the peace of mind that filtered water brings, this bottle can test for contamination and purify your water on the go.
• The Ecomo bottle has a built-in water quality tester that can detect pollutants, including pesticides, dissolved minerals, petroleum products, and heavy metals like lead and mercury.
• To use the device, you shake the bottle to send water into the tester; the system is connected to an app on your phone, and sends test results via Bluetooth.
