Suitable for hikes, travel, or any situation when pure, drinkable water is not available, this water treatment device uses no chemicals. It won't change the taste or color of the water, or add an unpleasant smell. The unit runs on four AA batteries. A fresh set of disposable lithium batteries will power 150 one-liter treatments; rechargeable nimh batteries will provide 100 treatments, and alkaline batteries will yield 50 treatments. Simply press the on button, place the lamp in your water bottle and stir. In as little as 48 seconds, your water will be drinkable. The lamp automatically shuts off when the treatment is finished. The lamp's lifespan is about 3, 000 treatments. The UV process alone does not Filter particulates, so filtering is recommended if solids are present in the water. The Aqua is compatible with the SteriPEN prefilter and SteriPEN fits all Filter, sold separately.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
On a through hike our whole lives revolve around the next water source and at times, especially in the desert, we walk up to a new source thirsty and all we want to do it drink a liter of water. This pen made quick work of that dream.
Now I with all that being said I give it 4 stars because the batteries actually run our fairly quickly. For 2 people we needed a set of batteries for 4 days of use. So if we were going to be on trail more than that we would carry a second set.
