UV-C Sterilization
A high-intensity UV-C cylinder is built directly into the lid of the Beam+. When activated, it emits UV-C light at the precise wavelength that penetrates bacterial and viral cell walls and disrupts DNA.
The Science of Full-Spectrum Water Protection.
Every portable water solution before the Beam+ was half a solution. Filters remove chemicals. UV-C neutralizes biology. DuoCore™ Technology is the first system to run both, at the same time, in a single bottle.
Why Every Previous Solution Left Half the Threat Unaddressed
Clean water has two threat categories that require different technologies. Bacteria and viruses are alive, so they pass through filter media and have to be destroyed. Heavy metals, chlorine byproducts, microplastics, and pharmaceutical traces are dissolved in the water, so UV-C light passes through them without effect. Filtration captures them.

The three stages of DuoCore
DuoCore™ Technology: Three Stages. One System.
DuoCore is not a single feature with a brand name. It is a three-stage purification architecture, engineered from the ground up to address the full contamination profile of hotel taps, airport fountains, kitchen pitchers, and the public water you cannot see into.
DuoCore Filtration
The replaceable filter supports chemical, taste, sediment, and particulate reduction so the bottle improves the everyday water profile.
Auto-Clean
Automatic self-cleaning cycles help keep the bottle fresh between uses, reducing the stale-bottle problem common in daily carry.
Third-Party Certified. Not a Brand Claim.
The Beam+ was independently verified by SGS, one of the world's most respected testing, inspection, and certification organizations.

Is UV-C sterilization safe for drinking water?
Yes. UV-C sterilization is one of the most widely used water disinfection methods in the world, used by municipal water authorities, hospitals, and food processing facilities.
Does UV-C sterilization affect taste or smell?
No. UV-C neutralizes biological threats without adding chemicals or changing the mineral profile of the water.
How does DuoCore compare to boiling water?
Boiling addresses biological contamination, but it does not remove dissolved chemicals, heavy metals, chlorine byproducts, or microplastics.
How often does the DuoCore Filter need to be replaced?
The filter is rated for 40 gallons, or roughly two months of daily use depending on refill volume and water quality.
