Steripen Adventurer Package
PRICE $99.95
Usually ships in 2-3 business days

The SteriPEN Adventurer is a compact, lightweight device that quickly kills harmful microbes, pathogens and germs that may be present in untreated water. It is effective against Giardia, Cryptosporidium, E. coli, Salmonella, Staph Strep, Botulism, Cholera Smallpox and Typhoid.

The Adventurer is easy to use-just push the button to activate, place the lamp in a container of clear water and agitate the water slightly until the indicator turns green. The entire process takes about 48 seconds per half liter of water. The lamp generates an ultraviolet light that destroys the DNA of any microbes. Without operative DNA the microbes can’t reproduce and make you sick.

Although smaller and lighter than the SteriPEN Classic, the Adventurer uses the same technology with a few refinements. The Adventurer uses lithium 123A batteries-either disposable or rechargeable. Quality disposable 123A batteries are typically good for 100, .5 liter doses; while rechargeable batteries will last for 60-70, .5 liter doses. An optional solar charger with batteries is available for extended excursions. The Adventurer lamp is rated for 8000 cycles (up to 2000 gallons) and weighs only 3.5 oz with batteries. The package contains one Adventurer, a black neoprene case with belt loop, a user’s guide and two 123A batteries.

If you’re not sure that clear water will be available the SterPEN Bottle prefilter is recommended. The prefilter screws on most wide mouth bottles and filters particulates larger than 4 microns. To use with the Adventurer, simply screw the prefilter on, fill your bottle, remove the prefilter and then dose the water with the Adventurer according to the instructions.

An effective, quick and reliable way to destroy the microbes that may be lurking in your drinking water, the Adventurer is a must-have item for international travelers, hikers, backpackers and sportsmen of all types.

The Steri PEN Adventurer includes a manufacturer’s limited lifetime warranty.

About SteriPEN Microbiological Purifiers
SteriPEN water purifiers disinfect water with light. The high energy, ultraviolet light produced by the SteriPEN destroys the DNA of any microbes that may be present thus preventing reproduction and rendering the organism harmless. This same type of process is used commercially in bottling plants, hospitals and water treatment facilities. SteriPEN devices do not add chemicals or alter the taste of water.

When used as directed the SteriPEN will not cause any UV exposure to the user. The UV-C light produced by the device will not pass through most materials. Water containers made from glass, ceramic, metal and nearly all plastics block UV-C transmission. Also the underside of the air/water surface in the container acts as a reflector of UV-C. The SteriPEN has sensors that prevent the unit from operating unless immersed in water.

When in use, the SteriPEN automatically controls the operation time. You set the volume of water to be treated, either .5 liter or less or between .5 and 1 liter. When activated and placed in water, the unit automatically delivers the appropriate dose for that volume and temperature of water. It’s important to gently sir or agitate the water while dosing to ensure uniform UV treatment.

The SteriPEN lamp is fluorescent and does not have a filament to break or burn out. Made of thick quartz, it is also very durable and should never need replacement. It has been programmed, however, to shut down after 8000 doses. That’s the equivalent of over 3 doses per day, everyday for 7 years.

If clear water is not available, use a prefilter. SteriPEN offers a inexpensive 4 micron filter for this purpose, but in a pinch you might use a coffee filter, bandanna or other item. Also, simply letting the particulate settle to the bottom and pouring off the clear water into another container might work. If it is an emergency, you can treat turbid water by doubling the dose.
