Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose Pure instead of an ordinary plastic bottle?
Pure lets you carry drinking water in a reusable bottle made from 100% pure copper, without a plastic bottle body, interior lining or coating. It is designed for people who want to reduce their reliance on disposable plastic bottles while choosing a material with distinctive surface properties.
Have microplastics been found in bottled water?
Yes. Published research has detected micro- and nanoplastic particles in sampled bottled water. The amount varies, and particles may come from packaging, processing or filtration.
Scientists are still investigating the long-term health effects. Pure removes the plastic bottle body from your routine, but it cannot filter particles already present in your source water.
What are copperβs antimicrobial properties?
Copper surfaces can interact with and inactivate certain microorganisms on contact under controlled conditions. This property has been studied in laboratories and healthcare environments.
Pure itself has not been independently tested for antimicrobial performance and should not be used or described as a disinfectant or water purifier.
Does Pure make unsafe water safe to drink?
No. Always fill Pure with water that is already safe to drink.
Research conducted using other copper vessels does not prove that Pure removes every bacterium, virus, chemical or contaminant. It must never be used to make untreated or unsafe water drinkable.
Does drinking from Pure provide the health benefits of dietary copper?
Copper is an essential mineral involved in normal bodily processes, including energy production and iron metabolism.
However, Pure is not a supplement and has not been shown to provide a meaningful dietary dose, increase iron absorption or treat any health condition.
How do I clean Pure?
Handwash Pure and allow it to dry completely. The supplier recommends using lemon and salt to clean the copper and help restore its shine. Rinse the bottle extremely well after cleaning. Natural darkening or patina is a normal characteristic of genuine, untreated copper.
Who is Pure designed for?
Pure is designed for adults who want a reusable, plastic-free way to carry one litre of drinking water and who value copperβs distinctive properties and traditional heritage.
Anyone who has been medically advised to limit copper exposure should seek professional advice before using unlined copper drinkware.
