SteriPEN Water Purifier
There are many water treatments on the market, and the SteriPEN has proven itself time and time again to be completely effective in removing protozoa, bacteria and viruses from your drinking water, keeping you healthy and on the go no matter where you are traveling. The SteriPEN uses low-level UV-C light which will not damage skin or eyes, and has long been used by municipal water systems and bottling companies to safely sterilize water.
