There has to be something pretty special about a water bottle that reaches 100% of its Kickstarter funding goal within less than 24 hours, right? That’s exactly what happened when the Auron Water Bottle launched its crowd-funding campaign in early February. Currently, the campaign has raised £135,103, exceeding its original funding goal by over £131,000.
We’re all aware of just how important it is to travel with a refillable – and ideally, reusable and recyclable – water bottle. Auron’s new ‘smart’ water bottle isn’t your average run-of-the-mill water bottle, however. This nifty new self-cleaning water bottle has a number of features that make it a must-have item to carry at anytime, but especially so when travelling.
Read on to discover more about Auron’s new water bottle and why it’s so useful for travelling with.

6 reasons to add Auron’s new water bottle to your carry-on
When you consider just how many features Auron’s new smart bottle actually has, it’s no surprise it managed to hit its crowd-funding target so quickly. Here are just a few of benefits of this innovative new water bottle which help to make it so well-suited to travelling.
Purified water in 60 seconds
One of the key selling points of Auron’s new water bottle is its ability to provide 100% purified water and eliminate 99.9% of bacteria. Whether you’re topping up your bottle at a public water fountain, in a murky river or from the tap in an unfamiliar country, you’ll be able to drink purified water in just 60 seconds. This is especially useful if you’ll be visiting countries where the drinking water supply isn’t safe to consume.
Sure, you could just drink bottled water or aim to only refill your bottle at water machines, but this could be costly and inconvenient. Plus, studies have shown that some bottled waters are less pure than tap water, so it can be difficult to know just know how pure our drinking water actually is.
Self-cleaning for minimal fuss
As Auron’s new smart water bottle has a self-cleaning function, travelling with it removes the hassle of having to find somewhere to clean out your reusable water bottle at the airport or elsewhere.
Auron’s self-cleaning feature works through its purifying UV-C light, enabling you to refill the bottle again and again without the need to worry about mould or limescale build-up, or any unpleasant odours that you might get with reusable stainless steel drinking bottles.

Temperature regulation
Auron’s smart water bottle has a double vacuum casing, meaning that hot drinks will stay hot for 12 hours, while cold drinks will stay chilled for up to 24 hours.
No doubt this would be extremely useful while travelling; no one likes sipping on warm water after a lazy at the beach!
A cheaper way to drink water
Staying hydrated while travelling is essential – especially if you’re visiting hotter climes – but the costs of buying bottled drinking water can soon add up.
Investing in the Auron bottle means you won’t have to keep splashing out on bottled water while you’re away from home. You’ll be surprised at just how much you’ll save; your Auron water bottle could end up paying for itself within just a few weeks!
More environmentally friendly
In the US alone, it’s thought that around 38 billion water bottles end up in landfill every year. You don’t need me to tell you how harmful this can be for the environment.
Many countries are now taking moves to limit the consumption of drinking water in plastic bottles, encouraging tourists to carry reusable water bottles instead. However, even when you’re using a reusable water bottle, you still need to ensure your bottle can be recycled when it’s time to invest in a shiny new replacement.
Travelling with Auron’s self-cleaning water bottle is a much more environmentally friendly option when it comes to staying hydrated on the road. Made using tough, high-grade 304 stainless steel, not only will your Auron self-cleaning bottle help you to reduce your plastic consumption, but it’ll also enable you to reduce your water and energy consumption, as you won’t need to clean your bottle out in between uses.

Long-lasting rechargeable battery
As the Auron water bottle has a long-lasting battery that should last for a couple of months, it’s unlikely you’ll need to charge your water bottle while travelling. However, if you’re staying away from home for longer than usual, rest assured you can always recharge the battery on the road.
Currently, the Auron self-cleaning water bottle is available for just $65 to any backers of Auron’s Kickstarter campaign – a saving around 57% on the normal retail price.
