SteriPEN is fast! It is the only patented, handheld water purifier that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to destroy waterborne microbes. Ultraviolet light has been used for 90 years in large-scale systems including hospitals, city water systems and bottling plants. SteriPEN puts this power in the palm of your hand.
SteriPEN is light! It weighs less than 8 ounces (225 grams) with batteries.
SteriPEN is easy! One button operation.
SteriPEN is effective! It has been independently tested at 4 universities.
SteriPEN eliminates viruses, bacteria and protozoa - including Bird Flu, Giardia and Cryptosporidium - in seconds. It is effective against the waterborne microbes that cause giardia, polio, diarrhea, hepatitis, typhoid fever, botulism, dysentery and cholera to name a few.
No matter where you are-Mexico, Mount Everest or on the Milford Track-using SteriPEN is as easy as 1-2-3.
1) Push button to activate
2) Place the lamp in clear water

SteriPEN is patented worldwide.
SteriPEN is versatile and easy to pack - carry it in your back pack, suitcase, purse or briefcase-it's like carrying hundreds of gallons of purified water with you wherever you go - and it can be used in a variety of containers.
SteriPEN uses 4 AA batteries (not included). Lithium disposables work well in most situations (Keep in jacket pocket in very cold weather). Using SteriPEN with rechargeable batteries like NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride), it is the most economical portable water purifier at 10 cents per gallon.
