Diving into the world of water? 🏊🏻♀️
This precious resource quenches our thirst and delights our taste buds.
Unfortunately, tap water can have an unpleasant taste and contain undesirable substances: traces of pesticides, heavy metals, medicines and even bacteria!
Don't panic, it is possible to make your tap water pure, healthy and pleasant to drink.
Along the way, we've put together a list of the features of existing solutions 👇
Choose UV-A water purification
Our revolutionary technology uses the power of UV-A light to ensure pure water. Photolysis eliminates chlorine, pesticides, drug residues, bacteria and other harmful micro-organisms. Health-promoting trace elements and minerals are preserved, in compliance with strict drinking water standards. ✅
Our state-of-the-art, patented and exclusive technology uses an advanced oxidation process, the most effective chemical method for treating polluted water.

Purified tap water: a fountain in your home
Why purify tap water?
Did you know that not all harmful chemicals such as pesticides are controlled in tap water? In France, current standards do not ban them all, but only set limits for certain specific pesticides ... 😣
The dangers of tap water
❌ The long-term health effects of ingesting traces of pesticides are still unknown.
❌ There is a risk that unregulated pesticides may be present in tap water.
❌ There are no legal limits governing drug residues in drinking water.
❌ Since 2021, exceedances of legal thresholds have been detected in 9,000 municipalities in France.
❌ The substances monitored may vary from region to region.
Filters, what a mistake!
At LaVie, we take a different approach: no filters! ❌
Why is this?
Because filters cannot remove harmful substances from water, they encourage the growth of bacteria, eliminate trace elements and essential minerals, and generate waste.
Drink pure, healthy, delicious water!
Say hello to pure water. Thanks to our UV-A purification method integrated into LaFontaine, tap water is purified in 20 minutes.
Now all you have to do is drink safely and with pleasure. 🙌

FAQ about our tap water purifiers
I have a family. Which purifier suits best to my needs?
You are a big family, choose LaFontaine! 😍 LaFontaine provides you with 5 purified water litres in one go only. If you like the fountain system, this purifier is for you.
LaVie Pure is a perfect fit to families. You can select up to 6 bottles or more and process cycles in a row or whenever you need.
LaVie Premium XL has the same features as LaVie Pure, except that you can insert the sparkling water bottles from your gas machine.
How do I start the water purifier?
Simply place the purifier on a stable surface near an electrical socket, connect the power adaptor to the purifier and then plug it into the mains socket. The base of the purifier will emit a light that flashes three times (green-blue-green) to indicate compatibility with the DC adapter. Your purifier is now ready to use. 😎
Is UV disinfection necessary for my domestic water?
In everyday language, we talk about UV disinfection. It refers to UV-C purification and not the UV-A purification that corresponds to our technology. UV-C acts only against pathogens in the water, preventing them from reproducing. They are effective if you do not have access to drinking water, such as water from a stream. At home, where the tap water is already drinkable, UV-C disinfection is ... unnecessary. 😅 It's like a sword in the water
Is the purifier automatic?
Yes !
Simply place the LaVie bottle in the purifier. A built-in sensor
automatically detects the presence of the bottle. The LEDs light up
in blue across the entire height of the purifier.
At the end of the treatment, 15 minutes by default, the LEDs go out. The
bottle containing water that has now been purified can be removed from
the case for immediate consumption or be placed in the
refrigerator.
How does the purifier work against bacteria and other contaminants?
UV-A radiation causes photolysis of the chlorine. This reaction eliminates the chlorine. This process generates free radicals with a strong oxidising power that
attack contaminants in the water, such as traces of medication,
bacteria, traces of pesticides ...)
Does the purifier prevent limescale build-up?
Yes 👍
There's no limescale in tap water, just calcium, which is the main source of calcium.
a liquid form and an essential trace element for our health.
Our treatment preserves it in its liquid form and gets rid of its bad taste, provided the water is not too hard. Thanks to LaVie, limescale build-up in your household appliances is cut in half!
Is the purifier really worthwhile from an economic point of view?
Thanks to its very low power consumption, the LaVie water purifier lets you purify 1,000 litres of water for around €1.5 worth of electricity. For a family of 2, the purchase pays for itself in 1 year, compared with bottled mineral water. Not bad, is it? 😉
How do I fill the bottle?
On tap, of course! 🤪 Take care not to fill your LaVie bottle to the top: leave 1 or 2 cm of air. During treatment, the water heats up slightly (_1 or 2°C), and if there isn't a little air to allow the water to expand, the pressure created may cause the bottle to break.
Is UV-A light from purifiers dangerous?
No! ✌🏼
The complete device has been validated by SGS for its luminous harmlessness because
we use UV-A, not B or C. Our safety class even allows you to stare at the light for three hours without retinal damage. Approvals are noted in the instructions.
Does the LaVie purifier affect the PH of the water?
No 🙅♀️
The quality of the water you drink from your tap is regulated and subject to certain conditions.
health checks. Its PH is legally between 6.5 and 8.5: zero
need to adjust it.
How should I maintain my LaVie purifier?
No maintenance required 🕺 However, in use, some volatiles or dust that are barely visible to the naked eye may settle at the bottom of the tube. These can obstruct the detection lens, forcing you to constantly plug and unplug the device. To get rid of it, simply vacuum the inside of the tube with a small hoover nozzle, or blow it out with a hairdryer, for example. If the problem persists, send us an email at contact@lavie.bio and we'll find a solution together!
How do I set the duration of the purification treatment?
By default, your purifier is set to standard mode (treatment time: 15 minutes).
To set the time, turn the purifier over and locate the small push-button on the underside of the base.
The button is protected and you'll need a small point to press it.
When pressed, the purifier emits a blue light, indicating that it has entered intermediate mode (treatment time: 22 minutes).
When pressed again, the purifier emits a colour
red, indicating the switch to intense mode (treatment time: 30 minutes).
A further press returns the purifier to standard mode in
emitting a green colour (treatment time: 15 minutes).
How long does a LaVie purifier last?
The UV-A LEDs have an over 10 years lifespan (manufacturer's data).
