Not sure how safe the water is on your next great adventure. Then take along the Steripen Traveler. This handheld water purifier kills viruses, bacteria, and common protozoa. The Steripen weighs 3.6 ounces with its 2 disposable batteries and can purify a 16 ounce glass in around 48 seconds,
The Steripen uses ultraviolet light (UV) to destroy the DNA of microorganisms, stopping them from reproducing and making you ill. The manufacturers claim that it works against giardia and cryptosporidium; pathogens that cause diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis, and Legionnaire’s Disease; household germs such as bird flu, E. coli, and salmonella; staph and strep; and natural-disaster risks like botulism, cholera, smallpox, and typhoid.
This small water purifier needs no pumping, or replacement filters; just place in the water and switch on.
The Steripen Traveler retails for around $99. A small price to pay to ensure your drinking water is safe.
