Whether your source is a clear running brook or a hotel tap,
SteriPEN™ destroys viruses, bacteria and protozoa–including
Giardia and Cryptosporidium in seconds.

• Weight: 105g without batteries.
  (184g - 227g with batteries, depending on type)
• Dimensions: 7.6" (L) X 1.5" (W) X 1.5" (H)
• Battery: 4 disposable or externally
  rechargeable AA batteries.

The SteriPEN Classic runs on 4 AA batteries. We recommend that you use either Lithium Disposable or Nickel Metal Hydride Rechargeable batteries. Both types will yield about 100 1 litre treatments of water. We do not recommend the use of the standard alkaline AA batteries as they do not support the strong initial electrical draw that the SteriPEN requires which may result in a low amount of treatments.

Because it’s fast (48 seconds for .5l), light (under 110g), easy and effective, it’s perfect for hikers and campers who value powerful products in small packages with no loss of effectiveness. Adventurer is especially effective against common protozoa like Cryptosporidium. Its optional solar charging case let’s you go off the grid—way off. Adventurer ships with 2 non-rechargeable (disposable) batteries, a nylon case and users guide.

• Weight: 105g with batteries.
• Dimensions: 15.5cm high - 78cc volume
• Battery: 2 CR123 batteries
  (rechargeable lithium recommended)

The Adventurer model takes a 2 CR123 batteries. It comes with a set of disposable CR123 batteries that will yield about 50 1 litre treatments of water. Rechargeable CR123 batteries should yield about 35 1 litre treatments of water.

When clear water is not available,
use the Water Bottle Pre-Filter by SteriPEN™. 
The Pre-Filter filters out particulates and debris.
