FAQ’s
1. What is SteriPEN?
SteriPEN is a hand held water purifier that uses ultraviolet light to purify up to 1 litre of water at a time. There are no chemicals to taste or smell, no pumping or test strips, and no setup or clean up involved!
2. How does SteriPEN work?
SteriPEN utilizes C Wavelength UV (ultraviolet light). UV-C light is short wave light, between x-rays and visible light wavelengths, which destroy the DNA of microbes in seconds. It’s like a singer that can break glass with their voice. Without functional DNA, microbes can't reproduce or make you sick.
3. When should I take a SteriPEN with me?
Whenever you are concerned about the water, it is a good idea to carry a SteriPEN. Whether your source is a mountain stream or a hotel room tap, SteriPEN will make the water safe.
4. Why should I take a SteriPEN instead of a pump, filter, or chemicals?
SteriPEN is fast, light, easy and highly effective. Compared to chemicals, SteriPEN is has no chemical taste or odour and no long term health effects like iodine. Also, SteriPEN is much faster in that it can accomplish in 90 seconds what chemicals take up to 4 hours to complete.
Compared to filters, SteriPEN is more effective in that most filters do not remove viruses. In addition, SteriPEN is lighter and much easier to use than most filters.
5. Does the SteriPEN effect taste or add any chemicals?
SteriPEN disinfects with light only. No chemicals are needed. By not using chemicals, SteriPEN avoids problems of chemical toxicity and unpleasant chemical taste and smell.
