The Adventurer Opti Water Purifier uses a revolutionary optical eye to sense the water. The patent-pending technology provides safe use and the standard insulating sleeve around the UV lamp allows purification in even the coldest of waters. Fast, light, easy and effective, the provides the ultimate protection from waterborne illnesses. UV purification works as the ultraviolet energy emitted by the light is absorbed by the cells of the microbe, preventing cell enzymes from ‘reading’ its DNA. Without intact DNA, microbes can’t reproduce to make you sick. The process is simple but effective, destroying over 99.9 percent of harmful microorganisms. Great for camping, hiking and backpacking. Easy to use 1 button operation; LED light quickly indicates when ready to purify, then place the pen like lamp in clear water and stir until indicator light turns green. Dirty water should be pre filtered until clear prior to treatment. The UV lamp provides up to 8,000 one liter treatments. Device works with containers with minimum 1.75 in. diameter opening (i.e. Nalgene wide-mouth bottles). Low power indicator lets you know when batteries need replacing. Automatic shut off when treatment is complete. Includes black neoprene case with belt loop and 2 non-rechargeable CR123 batteries and instructions.

Save $$ on bottled/boiled water This was the absolute BEST thing we purchased for our recent Everest Base Camp trek. It worked like a charm, and we used it multiple times per day. We never had to purchase bottled/boiled water. Another great thing (depending on where you are at) is that the SteriPEN doesn’t change the taste of the water. That was great up in the Himalaya (Kathmandu was a different story).I really wanted to get the USB rechargeable SteriPEN. Although it would have been perfect for camping, it…
Great reliable product The little gadget is a great addition to any hiking or outdoor trip, or trip to somewhere that your uncertain of water quality. We recently went to Bocas del Toro, Panama for 2 weeks. Most places in the area purify rain catchment water and it’s drinkable. However, the last place we stayed at the shower water in our bungalow didn’t have drinkable water so we used the Steripen when we filled our Nalgene water bottle and it worked great. I perform microbiological testing at a company and took the…
HIGHLY recommended for International Travelers w/ Kids The BEST and ONLY product you need. We went to Nepal (Kathmandu and many villages) for one month and purchased this, Potable Aqua, and a LifeStraw but ended up only using this. My husband, 3 year old daughter, and I were in perfect health the entire time- not a single day of stomach issues. We took 2 regular size Nalgene bottles, filled both with water (sometimes boiled or bottled, other times from very questionable sources), used our SteriPEN, and were good to go. I cannot recommend this…
