SteriPEN Adventurer solar charging water purifier

If you’ve been up all night watching Survivorman gulp-down the moisture he’s just squeezed out of a pile of elephant dung or the tap water oozing out of the faucet of your luxury motel accommodation in Guadalajara has some moving ingredients, you may want to take action. This little gizmo is for world travelers with doubts about the local water. Just swish this thermometer-like device inside a container of H2O and presto - drinkable water with no after taste. And the solar charging case keeps it charged and ready to operate.

The SteriPEN system uses UV light rays instead of chemicals to purify water for drinking by destroying protozoa (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium), bacteria and even viruses. Just press a button and gently agitate the water with a quick stir.

Purifies 16 fl. oz. of water (cold or warm) in less than a minute, or 32 fl. oz. in a minute and a half. Fits in your shirt pocket.
Use it only on clear water.
