SteriPEN Classic
The main reason for using a SeriPEN water purifier is rather environmental concern - imagine how many plastic bottles 2 of us would have consumed over the course of 1 month. Also, it's an insurance that wherever there is water source, we will have safe water to drink. We had a generally good experience with the older version of SteriPEN Adventurer purifier. However, the UV lamp on the older version Adventurer had shorter life span and eventually it became unreliable after several months of intensive use. Another lesson we learned from using SteriPEN is always use a back up measure for your water treatment, as the batteries may die, or the light bulb may malfunction, or the water may be murky.
