Camping Gear Review – SteriPEN Journey

The SteriPEN Journey Safe Water System – This product is SteriPEN’s complete package with everything you need to get started to stay hydrated on a multi-day hike or take camping for a personal water purifier, take when traveling or even use in an emergency when clean drinking water isn’t available.

The technology behind the SteriPEN Journey is quite interesting. SteriPEN products use ultraviolet (UV) light technology to purify water, destroying more than 99.9 percent of bacteria, viruses and protozoan cysts such as giardia and cryptosporidia. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is an effective disinfectant. The SteriPen Journey emits a light that is absorbed by the cells of the microbe, preventing cell enzymes from reading its DNA. Without DNA, microbes can’t reproduce to make you sick. This process will destroy 99.9% of harmful microorganisms.

The nice thing about using the SteriPEN is the ultraviolet (UV) light will not alter the taste, PH, or other properties of the water. It is safe and effective to use and it works without adding chemicals to the water.

The SteriPEN Journey Safe Water System comes with the SteriPEN FitsAll Filter, BPA-Free 1L Nalgene bottle, customized neoprene carrying case and 2 disposable CR123 batteries.
