SteriPEN Adventurer Handheld Water Purifier Review

SteriPEN Adventurer Handheld Water Purifier
Average Reviews:

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.

MAGLITE LR00001 Replacement Halogen Lamp for Rechargeable Flashlight Review

These work but they are not even close to putting out any where near the amount of light the older xenon bulbs use to.They're not 7 bucks a piece either so I guess it might be a down side but you're getting about 3x the bulbs for the money.If you want to get a really bright light maybe the maglite isn't good enough anymore if we can't keep it bright.There are a lot of other choices out there.

I've had mine for 14 years now on the beat and it still works.I've only had 2 batteries in it.I charge when it only needs to be charged.So in other words I've only bought one battery to replace the old one.It's lasted a long time so I guess I can't complain.I do find myself not using it a lot anymore because of the brightness of the flaslight.it's like a regular 3 cell anymore.
