How Does an UV Sterilization Bottle Work? Its Simple!

So, I’ve been messing around with this UV sterilization bottle thing for a while now, and I figured I’d share my experience. You know, just in case anyone else is thinking about getting one.

First off, I ordered the bottle online. It arrived pretty quick, in like, a week. Unboxing it was simple enough. It came with the bottle itself, a charging cable, and a little instruction manual that I barely glanced at, to be honest.

The bottle is, well, it’s a bottle. Nothing too fancy. But it’s got this cap with a UV light built into it. That’s the whole gimmick, right? You fill it up with water, screw on the cap, and press a button. Then you gotta wait for a bit.

• I filled the bottle with water from the tap.
• Then I screwed the UV cap on tightly.
• I pressed the button on top of the cap to start the sterilization process.

There’s this little light indicator that tells you it’s working. It blinked for a while, and I just kind of stood there, waiting. I guess it takes a few minutes to do its thing. I thought it was supposed to be quicker but whatever.

Once the light turned off, I figured it was done. Then it finished. I took a sip from the bottle.

Honestly, I couldn’t really tell if the water tasted any different. Maybe a little? But it could just be in my head. I mean, it’s not like I could see the germs getting zapped or anything.

The instructions say you gotta recharge the cap every now and then. I plugged it in overnight and it seemed to charge up fine. No problems there. I recharged it once, and it’s been working fine since.

My Thoughts

So, yeah, that’s been my experience with this UV sterilization bottle. It’s not super exciting, but it does what it says, I guess. Would I recommend it? I don’t know. If you’re really worried about germs in your water, maybe it’s worth it. But for me, it’s just another gadget that’s kind of cool but not really necessary.
