When traveling to areas that have water sources that might be contaminated, nothing is more pertinent to your health than making sure you are drinking clean water. Sometimes, there is no guarantee even bottled water is clean of pathogens that can make you sick.

 

With the SteriPEN Freedom, travelers can now breathe easy, as the small, 2.6-ounce UV water purifier is able to treat 40 half liters of water on one charge. Conveniently equipped with an internal lithium ion battery, it is rechargeable via USB.

 

Small and lightweight, the SteriPEN Freedom is easy to use: Just take the cap off, put it in the water source and the UV lamp will illuminate, purifying 16 ounces of water in just 48 seconds. The pen is programmed so the lamp turns off once the water is 99.99 percent bacteria- and virus- free.

 

Instead of using chemicals and bulky water purification contraptions, travelers could buy this sleek and easy water pen for just $99.99. Drinking from a stream of water after natural disasters ordinarily carries risks of consuming contaminated water, but the SteriPEN uses the same technology as bottled water manufacturers, earning it a Gold Seal from the Water Quality Association.

 

What’s more, the small pen is durable and able to withstand environmental pressure and challenges, adding to its integrity as a reliable water purification solution. Learn more about the SteriPEN Freedom at www.steripen.com/freedom.
