[0003] Access to clean and safe drinking water is still a major challenge in many parts of the world. Even in urban areas, water may contain harmful particles, germs, or chemicals that cannot be seen with the naked eye. People often rely on external water purifiers at home, but they have no easy way to check water quality when they are outside, traveling, hiking, or living in rural areas.
[0004] Currently, water testing requires laboratory equipment or digital testing kits that are expensive, not portable, and difficult for regular people to use. In many cases, people drink water without knowing if it is safe, which can lead to health problems like stomach infections, diarrhea, or long-term diseases caused by contaminated water.
[0005] In light of the foregoing, there is a need for the water quality monitoring bottle that overcomes problems prevalent in the prior art.
[0006] The smart drinking water bottle with built-in water quality monitoring and purification features – solves these problems in a simple and user-friendly way. It combines filtration, sensing, and smart display in one portable bottle. The filter made from natural materials helps purify the water, while the sensor checks water quality on the spot. The user can instantly know if the water is safe to drink by looking at the display or connecting to a mobile app via Bluetooth.
[0007] Unlike other solutions that are bulky or hard to use, this invention is compact, rechargeable, and ideal for daily use. It gives people control over their drinking water quality, anytime and anywhere, without needing extra tools or technical knowledge.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
[0016] The present invention provides a water quality monitoring bottle.
[0017] This invention is a special water bottle that not only stores water but also makes sure the water inside is safe to drink. It checks if the water is clean or dirty, without needing any outside machine. The bottle can find out if the water has too many tiny particles (called TDS), harmful germs (microbes), if it’s too hot or cold, and if the water is muddy (turbidity).
[0018] Inside the bottle, there is a natural water cleaning system made from millet-based material. This helps remove harmful substances and even adds some healthy minerals to the water. A small pipe inside the bottle connects the top opening to this filter, making it easy to drink clean water anytime.
[0019] At the bottom of the bottle, there is a smart sensor connected to a tiny chip that collects all the information about the water. It shows the water condition on a small screen. If needed, the bottle can also send this information to a mobile phone or another device through Bluetooth.
[0020] The bottle has a rechargeable battery and a USB charging port, just like how we charge mobile phones. This battery powers the chip and the screen inside the bottle.
[0021] Example: Imagine you are hiking in a remote place. You find water from a stream but are not sure if it’s safe to drink. With this smart bottle, you pour the water inside, and within seconds, the bottle checks and tells you if the water is clean, has germs, or needs more purification. It even shows the temperature, so you know if the water is refreshing or too warm.
[0022] This invention is especially useful for travelers, campers, sportspersons, and anyone who wants to be sure their drinking water is safe, anytime and anywhere. It is also helpful in places where regular water quality is poor or uncertain.
- It purifies water naturally using millet-based filters, which is an eco-friendly and healthy method not commonly used in regular bottles.
- It checks the safety of the water inside the bottle using smart sensors – telling you if the water has too many salts (TDS), germs, dirt (turbidity), or if it’s too hot or cold.
- It displays this information on a small screen and can even share it with your phone via Bluetooth – something that ordinary water bottles or filters cannot do.
- Most water bottles only store water, and most purifier’s only clean water. Some digital testers are available, but they are separate devices and not easy to carry around or use daily.
- This bottle is smart, portable, and all-in-one – you don’t need to guess if the water is safe. You don’t need a lab or any external tool. You just pour the water, and the bottle tells you everything.
