It is designed to destroy the DNA of waterborne microbes, rendering them harmless as well as kill 99.99% of all VIRUSES, bacteria, protozoa, bird-flu, household germs and bio-terror weapons like botulism, cholera, smallpox, and typhoid.

It's also eliminates travel risks that can cause diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis and Legionnaires' disease.

Ultra-Violet light Safely & Effectively Destroys:

In addition, these common micro-organisms are destroyed by SteriPEN: Bacillus anthracis, Shigella dysentariae (dysentery), Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Shigella flexneri (dysentery), Dysentary bacilli (diarrhea), Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli (diarrhea), Streptococcus faecaelis, Legionella pneumophilia, Vibro commo (cholera), Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Bacteriophage (E. Coli), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella (food poisoning), Salmonella paratyphi (enteric fever), Poliovirus (poliomyelitis), Salmonella typhosa (typhoid fever), Baker's yeast

Easy and Simple to Operate
Simply press a button, place the lamp end in water (failsafe safety switch will not allow lamp to go on unless it is immersed in the water). Steri-Pen's liquid level sensors indicate that the UV lamp is fully in the water at which time the microcomputer activates the lamp for the dose period.

After less than a 90 seconds of gentle stirring the treated water is disinfected and ready to drink. Pressing the Start button once treats 32 ounces of water or twice to treat 16 ounces (48 sec). I know, it sounds a little backwards but it's actually a built-in safety so as to never under treat your water… good thinking!).

Should you prematurely take the lamp out of the water, the purifier will warn you with a red light that the water is not ready to drink. Watertight seal keeps water away from the internal electronics. It doesn't get any easier or simpler than this to ensure FAST, safe drinking water.

The SteriPEN Adventurer comes with a LIFETIME WARRANTY!

The SteriPen Adenturer, along with the original SteriPEN, are the only water purifiers that use PROVEN germicidal UV (ultra-violet) Light Technology that requires NO CHEMICALS or Pumping.

At just 6" long x 1" wide and weighing in at LESS THAN 4 ounces with two camera type CR123 3v batteries, the SteriPEN packs a powerful yet safe Ultra-Violet light for purifying 16 ounces of water in just 48 seconds, or a quart in about 90 seconds (using chemicals can take up to 4 hours). Unit's UV light will not damage eyes or skin while purifying water.

Literally destroying over 99.99% of all dangerous waterbourne bacteria, microbes and viruses including E-Coli, Giardia, Crypto, Cholera, Hepatitis, Influenza, Salmonella, and dozens more! Don't be deceived by that "clear looking" spring, stream or even third world restaurant water, tempting you to quinch your thirst without first treating it. DON'T TAKE A CHANCE! Always, always, treat ALL WATER when trekking or traveling! Compact enough to be carried in a purse or travel backpack.

Let's look at the facts. According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control), montezuma's revenge (gut wrenching diarrhea) is the most common illness that affects thousands of U.S. citizens traveling abroad every year. In fact, it's estimated that somewhere between 20 to 50% of all foreign travelers are affected. You can get it from foreign tap water, washing your teeth with that same water, showering, salad vegetables washed with the same water (even in "good" restaurants), from brooks, lakes or "natural" springs… the results are just the same.

Taking along the SteriPEN Adventurer is like money in the bank— your "insurance" policy from harmful buggies, bacteria, e-coli, viruses, and a host of other cruddy stuff that can end your vacation dreams of R&R in a heartbeat. Don't be caught unprepared! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND the SteriPEN Adventurer. It's the simplest and easiest PROVEN SYSTEM yet for purifying safe drinking water. "Don't leave home without it!"

Uses the same PROVEN Germicidal UV (Ultra-Violet) Light Technology that has been used for over 60 YEARS by Hospitals, "Spring" water bottling plants, and municipal water treatment facilities.

SteriPEN® Adventurer meets the U.S. EPA Guide Standard and Protocol for Testing Microbiological Water Purifiers. University Testing (University of Arizona, University of Maine & Oregon Health and Sciences University) shows greater than 6-log, 99.9999% reduction of bacteria and greater than 99.99% reduction of viruses.

Steri-Pen is tested to the EPA protocol for water purifiers. Successfully used by outdoor enthusiasts, expeditions to Everest and Mt. Aconcagua, international travelers, missionaries, and the U.S. Army.

Here's What Customers Have Said:

"I've used them all... most recently the MSR and a PUR Explorer... the SteriPEN had them all beat...no chemical taste, convenient to use, and takes care of just about every evil critter out there.
M. Siegert

"During my climb of Kilimanjaro the rest of my party used traditional pumps and filters. Needless to say one by one they all asked to use the SteriPEN™."
—Richard Wiese, President
The Explorers Club, NYC

"It's the perfect mountaineer's companion. Because SteriPEN™ is small and unobtrusive, I found it useful while traveling, not just camping."
—Michelle Gregory, Professor
Brown University Everest Expedition

TIME Magazine calls Steri-Pen one of the "Best Inventions"

Backpacker Magazine says “I found the Steri-Pen’s speed and efficiency welcome, especially when purifying several bottles at a time. The device is faster than pump filters for large groups (no muscle required) and quicker than chemical treatment even if you’re solo (no waiting).”
-Dennis Lewon

And Newsweek Magazine says the cost of Steri-Pen is a "small price to pay to avoid dancing the green-apple two-step."

The New York Times says, "Instead of trusting the water at their destinations, vacationers can zap bacteria with the Steri-Pen..." Steri-Pen Specifications:

HOW ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT DISINFECTS

Ultraviolet light disinfects rapidly without the use of heat or chemicals. Ultraviolet treatment is often used in the final stage treatment of bottled water for added safety. Operating rooms, isolation areas and other medical facilities make extensive use of ultraviolet germicidal lamps to maintain a low bacterial count in the surrounding air.

Ultra-Violet light treatment is a proven and accepted method for disinfecting drinking water. Short wavelength ultra-violet light, commonly referred to as UV-C occurs between the wave length of 200 and 265 nanometers, and this is where the most effective germicidal action occurs. The HYDRO-PHOTO LAMP PRODUCES 90% of its light at the 253.7 nanometers and is, therefore very effective as a anti-microbiological agent.

Microorganisms encompass a wide variety of unique structures and can be grouped into five basic groups: bacteria, virus, fungi, protozoa, and algae. A microorganism is composed of the cell-wall, cytoplasmic membrane and the cell's genetic material, nucleic acid. It is this genetic material or DNA that is affected by the Ultraviolet light. As UV-C penetrates through the cell wall, it causes molecular rearrangement of the microorganism's DNA thus preventing reproduction. If a cell can not reproduce, it is considered to be microbiologically dead. Due to individual cell makeup, different levels of UV energy are required for destruction.

The effectiveness of UV microbial destruction is a product of both time and intensity. The intensity of UV-C light is measured in micro-watts per square centimeter and the time is measured in seconds. Hence the amount of ultraviolet light necessary to kill a particular microorganism is reported in units of micro-watt seconds per square centimeter; this is known as the dose. UV light testing has shown that Steri-Pen provides between 38,000 and 60,000 micro-watt seconds per square centimeter.
