The SteriPEN handheld water purifier is a must-have for anyone who travels to places where clean drinking water is scarce or in question. SteriPEN uses ultraviolet (UV) light to destroy the DNA of disease-causing bacteria, viruses and parasitic protozoa. Without DNA these microorganisms, even Giardia and Cryptosporidium, cant make you sick. And because the SteriPEN uses light instead of chemicals to purify, water doesnt have an unpleasant chemically taste or odor.
