| SteriPEN-Tiny UV Light 'Wand' |
The battery-powered wand emits UV light that destroys bacteria, viruses and protozoa such as giardia and cryptosporidium to provide “germ-free” water with the press of a button.
To use a SteriPEN, you dip the unit’s glass lamp into a cup of clear (not silty or clouded) water or a bottle and stir gently for about a minute as the UV light flashes in your drink. Once finished, the lamp turns off. Presto, your water is good to go!
New this fall, SteriPEN’s magic purifying wand comes in a tinier and even more travel-friendly design. The company’s Freedom model, which costs $120, is the smallest and lightest SteriPEN yet, weighing just a couple ounces and fitting in any pocket at 5 inches long.This easy to use model has small sensors near the lamp know when the unit is dipped in water, triggering the UV mechanism to turn on and begin to disinfect. Once complete, the lamp shuts down and the unit’s green L.E.D. blinks off, telling you the water is safe to drink.
The Freedom pen has an integrated battery that recharges via a micro USB port. You can plug it into a laptop computer, an AC wall outlet (with an included adapter), or, for backpacking, a compatible solar charger.
