Description
Want to purify questionable water while only adding four ounces (110 grams) to your pack weight? The SteriPEN Adventurer uses ultraviolet light to destroy the DNA of waterborne microbes, rendering them unable to reproduce and make you sick. It kills 99.99 percent of all viruses, bacteria, protozoa, household germs, and bio-terror weapons. It also eliminates travel risks that can cause diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis, and Legionnaires’ disease.
The Adventurer is simple to use. Push a button, place the lamp in the water, and stir until the automatic-sensor-light turns green. It purifies 16 ounces of water in 48 seconds and a liter in 90 seconds. The Adventurer will purify 1,250 gallons of water, at a cost of only 10 cents per gallon of water.
MSRP: $129

I love this pen but still carry chlorine dioxide tablets as a back up (and hydration bag sterilizer every few days).
