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.
 -
Ultraviolet light rays sterilize clear water by destroying viruses, bacteria and protozoa including Giardia, E. Coli, Bird Flu, Hepatitis, Cryptosporidium, etc -
Runs off 4 AA batteries (not included), go with rechargable Nickel metal Hydride for the best value -
Purifies 16 fl. oz. of water (cold or warm) in less than a minute or 32 fl. oz. in 90 seconds -
SteriPEN turns itself off once ultraviolet treatment is complete; can be used up to 5,000 times SteriPEN measures 7.6'" by 1.5" by 1.5"
