Great tool to have,October 22, 2009
By MogollonRim
"Took this thing on the AZ trail. I hiked approx. 240 miles with a group. I was the only one with a Steripen, everyone else had their iodine and so on. After a few days of witnessing me make more than 6 liters of clean water in less than 15 minutes (I used a coffee filter for sediment), they were all using my Steripen. The water tasted good and none of us ever got sick. And it worked perfectly everytime, and must've been used on nearly 10 Gallons or so of water EACH DAY for 3 weeks. I'm an absolute fan. It weighs nothing, is small, and does so much."

SteriPen is Great!,October 28, 2008
By FiremanMichiganfrom Mid-Michigan
"Working at a drinking water laboratory, I know the "ins and outs' of disinfection methods and this product is by far the best and simplest I've used for hiking trips. I even did my own quality assurance test on some filtered pond water known to have eColi in it and it passed free of any coliform bacteria. This SteriPen is a great instrument!"

A problem,September 22, 2008
By Buckshotdoublefrom Midland, MI
"I purchased the SteriPEN to use on a fishing trip into Ontario. It seemed to work at home before we left an it worked intermittently in Canada, but less often each day. It is a great idea and I hope to try one again but I'm glad we took our old filter with us because we used it a great deal of the time."

This product is awesome - Did not get sick once,September 4, 2008
By Kase2from SLC, UT
"I recently took a trip to Northern Brazil near the Amazon where water is very questionable. I took along with me the MSR MIOX water purifier (which also does a great job) and this SteriPEN water purifier and intended to use both as an extra measure to ensure the water was pure. I used the MIOX one time as it made the water taste strange and opted to continue using only the SteriPEN. I found this was very easy to use and I didn't have to wait forever to be able to drink the water. After two weeks in Brazil I purified several liters of water for two people in no time at all. We did not get sick even once and we drank a lot of water while there. I would recommend the SteriPEN to anyone for any reason. I gave it 5 stars because the product is awesome, however, if you are going to use this to purifiy water from a water source that does not have slear water, it will not filter out the particles in the water. You would have to use a nylon, coffe filter or something similar before hand to filter out particles or debris. Another very small thing is that it only purifies up to a liter at a time but being that it is done in about 90 seconds and is basically idiot proof this product still shines above other filters and purifiers that I have used.
If you are looking for a great, light, easy to use and sure way to purify water the SteriPEN is the way to go."
