I have used the SteriPEN Adventurer for a week of backpacking in Colorado.Several days involved sterilizing what you would ordinarily call "good" water from running streams.But, several days included taking water from a lake in an area with heavy human use (no human waste management like a pit toilet).The water was obviously questionable and I was concerned that the SteriPEN would not be up to the challange.But, the only way to know was to try it, so I did.No illness at all.Got at least 50 quart sterilizations with one set of two CR123A batteries (non-rechargable).The product and its single LED signals take a little getting used to, but my experience convinces me it does the job.

It is very rugged - though I always worried about breaking the bulb.I took no special precautions carrying it.Simply stowed the provided hard shell and poly-canvas carry bag in the backpack with other gear.It traveled without problem.

Product Description:
Great for hiking and camping, this handheld water purifier destroys viruses, bacteria, and common protozoa. It weighs just 3.6 ounces with two non-rechargeable, disposable batteries (included) and purifies 16 ounces of water in 48 seconds, or 32 ounces in 90 seconds. The purifier employs ultraviolet light (UV) to destroy the DNA of microorganisms, making them unable to reproduce and cause illness. It's effective against outdoor microbes like giardia and cryptosporidium; pathogens that cause diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis, and Legionnaire's Disease; household germs such as bird flu, E. coli, and salmonella; staph and strep; and natural-disaster risks like botulism, cholera, smallpox, and typhoid.
No pumping, no chemicals, no test strips, no timekeeping, no lubricating, and no replacement filters are required. All that is required is to push the water purifier's button (once for 32 ounces, twice for 16 ounces), place the pen-like lamp in clear water, and stir until an indicator light turns green. Water has no aftertaste after being purified. Measuring 6.1 inches long, the purifier comes with a nylon case and a user's guide. It exceeds U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for testing microbiological water purifiers.
