SteriPen Traveler UV Light Water Purifier Sterilizes In Seconds

If you’re traveling to a country with a questionable water supply, the general advise is to drink bottled water. It’s a great way to play it safe, but is not always an option (and a hassle to obtain if you don’t speak the language). Well, thanks to this pocket-sized UV water purifier called the SteriPen Traveler, you can disinfect your own drinking water in seconds at the push of a button.

Ideal for restaurants, hotel rooms or when you’re on the road, the SteriPen eliminates dangerous viruses, bacteria and protozoa (such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium) without boiling or chemicals – destroying the DNA of microorganisms which renders them unable to reproduce and make you ill.

Using short wave germicidal Ultra Violet light (like that used in municipal water treatment plants and water bottling companies), the SteriPen UV Water Purifier includes an automatic timer for convenience and will disinfect a large 16oz mug in less than a minute – perfect for a guzzle first thing in the morning and for tooth brushing and rinsing to boot.

Helping to prevent Diarrhea, Dysentery, Hepatitis and Legionnaires’ disease which can all be contracted through contaminated water, the SteriPen Traveler will also destroy household germs such as Influenza, Bird Flu, E. Coli, Staph, Strep and Salmonella and can even handle the Bio-Terrorism agents Smallpox, Cholera, Typhoid and Botulism. Not bad for a device measuring 7″ x 1.75″ x 1.25″ in its case.

Weighing less than 4oz and including 2 x CR123 batteries as well as a protective nylon carry case, the SteriPen Traveler UV Light Water Purifier is available now from Magellan’s for $59.85.
