Because pure water, c'est LaVie!
Let's go back to the source 💧 Water is vital for all living things.
Yes, but not just any water. In France, we're lucky, our tap water is safe to drink.
But its taste sometimes leaves something to be desired and discourages us from drinking it properly... And that's without counting the undesirable traces that remain in it as a result of our lifestyles: pesticides, heavy metals, medicines, even bacteria!
So how can you be sure you're drinking water that's healthy, pure and good for your health? Do you feel lost when faced with all the water purification solutions available?
Here are their characteristics, clear as day 👇
Focus on UV-A water purification
Another new technology? Don't panic, as the name suggests, it's a water purification method based on UV-A light radiation. LaVie water purifiers destroy chlorine in tap water by photolysis and neutralise any pesticides, traces of medication, bacteria and other harmful micro-organisms that may be present. Trace elements and minerals are preserved in compliance with drinking water standards.
This cutting-edge technology, exclusive to Lavie and patented, is a revolutionary approach to microbiological water quality. It uses the advanced oxidation process, the most efficient chemical reaction for treating polluted water.

Chlorine, traces of pesticides and medicines have disappeared! Trace elements and minerals are still present.
What our customers think of us
We don't want to frighten you, but ...
Not all harmful molecules are tracked down in tap water
Surprisingly, not all harmful molecules are found in tap water. Current standards do not prohibit the presence of pesticides and metabolites in water, but set limit values for certain specific pesticides.
Problems :
➡️ We do not know the effect of these micro-exposures on long-term health.
➡️ Unregulated pesticides are potentially present in tap water.
➡️ There is no legal limit to the amount of drug residue in tap water.
➡️ Exceedances of legal thresholds have been detected in 9,000 municipalities in France since 2021.
➡️ The same substances are not monitored from one region to another.
Filters, a false good idea
So, do we filter our tap water? Well, no (or at least we wouldn't recommend it 😰 )!
🫙 According to a study by UFC Que Choisir, filter carafes are useless, not to say harmful. Not only are they incapable of removing harmful substances from water, but worse still, they encourage the proliferation of bacteria. They also generate plastic and chemical waste.
🚰 Under-sink filters, such as softeners or osmosis units, remove limescale and all the minerals. As a result, you're drinking iron water that's unfit for human consumption. Your skin may be soft, but you're putting your body at risk.
🎍 Binchotan and ceramic beads can eliminate the taste of chlorine but have no effect on chemical contaminants such as pesticides.
What about limescale in tap water?
Ah, limescale! Did you know that there is no limescale in tap water? In fact, it's calcium ions dissolved in the water. These calcium ions are not harmful to health. On the contrary, calcium is an essential mineral for our bodies. It helps build bones and teeth, as well as other important bodily functions. So it's best not to eliminate it. With LaVie, calcium is preserved in its liquid form and its bad taste is eliminated! * ✌🏼Et if you wish to heat the water treated by your purifier, the formation of limescale will be halved.
*Provided the water is not too hard.
Are we heading for bottled water?
1 year's worth of bottled water = 15 kg of plastic per person 😱
As well as being a pollutant, bottled water could have harmful effects on our health because of the microplastics it contains.
Their potential effects on human health are still being studied.
Creating pure water is no mean feat!
Gobble gobble, open the valves to fill your bottle.
Now's the time to slip the bottle into your purifier.
Leave the magic science, in just 15 minutes.
ReVivez!

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, when in use, certain volatiles or dust that are barely visible to the naked eye can 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@zn36x4l9ho-staging.onrocket.site 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).
