SteriPEN Water Purifier for Hikers

I have owned my SteriPEN UV light water purification system for about three months now and have to say that I fell in love with it immediately. Being a Civil Engineer and having worked on Low Pressure UV lights for AWT wastewater plants, I knew the capabilities of UV lights and had no concerns in using it. This lightweight and convenient SteriPEN is a great addition to any hiker wanting to reduce weight in their backpack and save time purifying water.


I understand it is difficult for many to accept the idea of using a light to purify water just as I still have a difficult time understanding how a microwave can warm food. Lets first start with a video showing how easy it is to use thisproduct. Click here to view the video.

I also wanted to include a link to test that have been done with the SteriPEN and their results This page has information about testing and allows you to download pdf files of the test. If you still have concerns and have an outfitter near you, discuss it with them. Hopefully they can
