SteriPen UV Water Purifier

The Aqua UV water purifier from SteriPEN is a compact, handheld UV water treatment device designed specifically for outdoor and travel use. This water treatment device utilizes ultraviolet light to remove more than 99.9% of viruses, bacteria, and protozoan cysts from water, without the use of any chemicals. It is suitable for hikes, travel, or any situation where pure, drinkable water is not readily available.

The Aqua UV water purifier runs on four AA batteries, and the type of batteries used can significantly impact the number of treatments per set. A fresh set of disposable lithium batteries can power up to 150 one-liter treatments, while rechargeable NiMH batteries can provide 100 treatments, and alkaline batteries can yield 50 treatments. To use the device, simply press the on button and place the lamp in your water bottle, then stir the water. In as little as 48 seconds, the water will be made drinkable, and the lamp will automatically shut off when the treatment is complete.

The UV lamp in the Aqua UV has a lifespan of up to 3,000 treatments, providing long-lasting performance. However, it is important to note that the UV process alone does not filter out particulates, so it is recommended to use the SteriPEN prefilter or a separate filter if the water contains visible solids. The Aqua UV is compatible with the SteriPEN prefilter and other SteriPEN filters, which are sold separately.

One of the key features of the Aqua UV is its ability to eliminate over 99.9% of harmful microorganisms, including Giardia, bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. This makes it an essential tool for outdoor enthusiasts, travelers, and anyone who needs access to safe, drinkable water in remote or emergency situations. The compact and handheld design of the Aqua UV also makes it convenient to carry and use, making it a valuable addition to any outdoor gear or emergency preparedness kit.

In conclusion, the Aqua UV water purifier from SteriPEN is a reliable and effective solution for removing harmful microorganisms from water, without the use of chemicals. Its versatility, long-lasting performance, and compact design make it a popular choice for those who need safe, drinkable water in a variety of settings.
