Send to a Friend

The SteriPEN™ Adventurer is half the size of the SteriPEN Classic. It's fast (48 seconds for 16 ounces), light (under 110g/4 oz), easy and effective -- perfect for hikers and campers who value powerful products in small packages with no loss of effectiveness. Adventurer ships with 2 non-rechargeable CR123 batteries, a nylon case and user guide.

SteriPEN Adventurer uses the same technology to purify water as municipal treatment facilities, hospitals and water-bottling plants. It destroys viruses, bacteria and cysts, including Giardia and Cryptosporidium, by using high-energy Ultraviolet (UV) light. The Adventurer is easy to operate and purifies water quickly and efficiently without the need for chemicals or pumping. The Adventurer makes purifying water a cinch. Simply fill a 16 or 32 ounce glass, plastic, ceramic or metal container with clear water, push the activation button once for 32 ounces or twice for 16 ounces, dip it in the container and stir slightly to agitate the water. Ultraviolet light is invisible to the human eye, but a visible blue light indicates that the Adventurer is working and shuts off as soon as a full dose has been delivered. The Adventurer purifies 16 ounces of water in 48 seconds and 32 ounces in 90 seconds! The UV light breaks down the DNA of viruses, bacteria and cysts, rendering them harmless. Because the penetration of UV light can be limited by discoloration, solids and debris, it is important that clear, unfrozen water be used. The Adventurer's electronics are designed to activate only as long as there is enough battery power available to produce the required UV dosage, so there is no risk of an inadequate dose as batteries run low.
