SteriPEN, Purified Water Everywhere

Post a Comment

If you’ve ever traveled off the resort map, you’re probably familiar with all of the tabs and tinctures available to help purify water when traveling abroad. Smart, effective… and tastes like metal, mostly. SteriPEN comes to the rescue with its genius SteriPEN Adventurer Handheld Water Purifier that disinfects without adding chemicals to your drinking water.

Employing UV light and powered by two AA batteries, the SteriPEN sterilizes water in under a minute by simply stirring the wand in a glass. That’s it. The trick? UV light — divided into 3 ranges to cover the spectrum — destroys DNA immediately, rendering all of those nasty viruses, bacteria and protozoa helpless in the face of your resourcefulness.

The stick even comes with a built in timer that will let you know when the water’s safe to drink, eliminating any potentially disastrous guesswork. This could also be a great tool to pack along on camping or hiking trips if you’re suspect of the water coming from the public taps. For $129, this bargain’s a no-brainer for frequent travelers.
