Ancient copper. Modern UV-C. Powered by the sun.
CuPure is the world's first water bottle combining pure copper antimicrobial science with UV-C sterilization technology. No chemicals. No filters. No compromise.
One press. In 60 seconds the 265nm UV-C LED destroys the DNA of every pathogen in your water — including Cryptosporidium that chlorine can't touch.
The 99.9% pure copper interior never stops working. Copper ions release continuously — destroying bacteria over 6-8 hours through the proven oligodynamic effect.
The solar panel on the cap charges the UV-C battery from sunlight. Carry it outside and it powers itself. USB-C backup included. Truly zero maintenance.
Laser-etched oz and ml markings on both inside and outside walls. Gets more defined as the copper patinas — the bottle literally gets better with age.
Electronics twist off in seconds. The drink lid is fully dishwasher safe. The UV-C module self-sterilizes with every cycle — it cleans itself.
50mm opening fits ice cubes. Double wall vacuum insulation keeps water cold 24hrs. Tapered base fits every standard car cup holder.
Blue pulses while UV-C runs. Green when complete. Auto-activates every 2 hours passively. Always protecting even when you forget.
CuPure is currently in development. Join the waitlist to get early bird pricing when we launch on Kickstarter — and be the first to own the world's most advanced water purification bottle.
No spam. No charge now. Just early access when we launch.
Every claim CuPure makes is backed by peer-reviewed science. Here's exactly what the research says — no marketing spin, just data.
Swiss scientist Karl Wilhelm von Nägeli discovered that copper releases ions into water that destroy a wide range of microorganisms — a phenomenon he called the oligodynamic effect. This wasn't folk wisdom — it was rigorous laboratory science.
Modern peer-reviewed studies have confirmed and expanded on his findings. Copper eliminates Vibrio cholerae, Shigella, E. coli, Salmonella, fungi, viruses, and many other dangerous waterborne pathogens.

The copper content of water stored in copper vessels tested at 177 parts per billion — well within the WHO permissible limit of 2,000 ppb. Copper purification is both effective and completely safe.
Source: WHO Water Quality Guidelines — Copper safety thresholdsUV-C light at 265nm penetrates the cell wall of bacteria and viruses and permanently damages their DNA, making them unable to reproduce or cause infection. They become completely harmless within 60 seconds of exposure.
No known bacteria or virus is resilient to UV-C light — including Cryptosporidium and Giardia which chlorine cannot eliminate. UV-C is chemical-free, residue-free, and leaves zero taste or smell.

When UV-C is applied to water where copper has already been working, it needs less energy to fully eliminate pathogens — the two systems amplify each other.
Additionally, copper naturally clarifies water over time — making it more transparent and allowing UV-C light to penetrate more effectively. The technologies literally make each other stronger.
CuPure — novel combination — patent pendingCuPure started with a simple question: why does something as ancient and proven as copper purification still not exist in a modern water bottle?
We researched the science. We found the gap. We filed the patents. We built the product that should have existed years ago — combining 4,000-year-old Ayurvedic wisdom with 2026 UV-C technology.
We aren't a big corporation. We're a small team from Houston, Texas that did the homework and is bringing this to the world through Kickstarter first — because the people who believe in science-backed wellness deserve to own it first.
Every claim we make is backed by peer-reviewed research. We partnered with university microbiology departments to independently verify our product before we ever ask anyone to buy it.
99.9% pure copper interior. No coatings. No linings. No shortcuts. We chose every material and feature because the science demanded it — not because it was cheaper or easier.
CuPure is committed to donating to every university that helps validate our science. The institutions that prove it works will share in our success. That's the right way to build a brand.

CuPure is committed to donating a portion of profits to every university microbiology department that independently tests and validates our product. The professors who publish research on CuPure help prove it works — and they'll be acknowledged and compensated for that contribution. Science should benefit the institutions that do science.
We're building CuPure in public. Follow along on social media for behind the scenes updates, science content, and launch news.
