Going places exotic? Let this ultraviolet purifier with pre-filter and bottle be your single source for potable water while traveling and backpacking.

  • 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 Hydro Photon Pre-Filter clears particulates and debris from water
  • Pre-filter fits on the 32-oz. polycarbonate bottle provided; simply pour source water through filter and clean water enters bottle
  • Pre-filter also fits Nalgene® and other water bottles with standard 63mm wide-mouth openings
  • 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
  • SteriPEN turns itself off once ultraviolet treatment is complete; can be used up to 5,000 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
  • Four AA alkaline batteries purify 20 to 40 16-oz. glasses of water; purify 130 to 140 glasses with AA lithium batteries (batteries sold separately)
  • Average weight of purifier is 8 oz. with alkaline batteries and 6.4 oz. with lithium batteries; weight empty is 3.7 oz.
  • Use only on clear water, as cloudy, sediment-laden water hinders effectiveness
  • Pre-filter screen has a square aperture equal to 17 square microns
