Let the SteriPEN Classic ultraviolet purifier with prefilter be your single source for potable water on your next traveling or backpacking adventure.
- Ultraviolet (UV-C) light rays safely sterilize clear water by destroying 99.99% of viruses, bacteria and protozoa, including Giardia and Cryptosporidium
- SteriPEN protects you from risks that cause botulism, cholera, dysentery and typhoid, just to name a few
- But if clear water is not available, no worries—the SteriPEN prefilter clears particulates and debris from water
- Prefilter fits Nalgene® and other water bottles with 63mm wide-mouth openings; pour source water through filter, and clean water enters bottle
- Then use the SteriPEN purifier to treat the water; 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
- Small size fits most containers—use it in cups, mugs, water bottles and canteens
- SteriPEN turns itself off once ultraviolet treatment is complete; can be used up to 8,000 times!
- Watertight seals keep water away from the electronics; rubberized inset grips for secure handling in wet conditions
- Low-power indicator lets you know when batteries need replacing; twist-off cap for easy battery access
- Long used by municipal water districts and bottling companies, low-level UV-C light treats water safely, and unit's light will not damage eyes or skin
- Purify 200 16 fl. oz. glasses of water with 4 lithium AA batteries (batteries sold separately)
- SteriPEN recommends the use of name-brand lithium AA batteries with a capacity of 800 milliamp hours (mAh) or greater, such as Duracell, Energizer and Panasonic
- SteriPEN does not recommend the use of alkaline batteries, as they provide very few SteriPEN treatments
- Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries are approved for use; be sure to fully charge batteries before use
- Average weight is 8 oz. with alkaline batteries and 6.4 oz. with lithium batteries; weight empty is 3.7 oz.
- Only use SteriPEN independent of prefilter when clear water is available, as cloudy, sediment-laden water hinders effectiveness
- Prefilter screen has a square aperture equal to 17 square microns
- Includes SteriPEN Classic water purifier, prefilter, carrying case and instruction manuals
