Great Water Purification System for TravelNov 28, 2009
I am planning to visit SE Asia & bought this for a 2 month trip. I tested it on a week trip & it passed with flying colors.

 Good ProductAug 25, 2009
Used it the first weekend that I had it. My wife and I went camping and the temp's soared to over 100 and we used it to purify a gallon of water from the river for more drinking water. Worked great and I think I'll take it with me to Mexico this year just in case.

 You can't rely on SteriPEN, do not use it in the back country!Jun 28, 2009
VERY DISPLEASED! I and a backpacking friend purchased the SteriPEN System Pack. We were initially impressed with what we had read from the company, primarily with its weight. We were heading into the backcountry 7-8 days and wanted to save as much weight as possible. The one star I give SteriPEN is for its weight (especially with lithium batteries) and only that. The bottle caps leaked at multiple places, losing water when purifying and along my leg while hiking, nice. My friends quit working on the second use, the bulbs were defective or just very fragile. Mine ate through the batteries in three days (Duracell), so bring extras (more weight) if needed. If you have clear running water it tastes good, however any other type and SteriPEN leaves the tastes, discolor, smells and floaters. My pre-filter webbing tore away from its plastic frame by simply using it, this created more and larger floaters in the water, bugs etc. If you are truly relying on this for survival and must purify from the water sources you are using, if you drop this thing on a rock or even the ground it could break. The lamps are apparently fragile or my friend simply received a defective one. Going back to pumping water, I never had any problems with my pump and it is much faster. I can't take the chance again with this product; my life depends on the ability to have clean water on my explorations and especially extended adventures.

FIELD TRIAL IS A REAL CRAPS SHOOT!!Dec 16, 2008
except to tell you that the plastic water bottle is constructed of poly carbonate(which has been declared to be toxic by several industrialized nations), it is not fair to myself, the vendor, the manufacturer, or to amazon, to offer up a review until i finish my "field trial"..
i purchased the steripen system for an upcoming trip to mexico, and i cannot, in good conscious, offer up a review until i return..
at this time, i would suggest that you purchase only the pen(without the polycarbonate bottle).. i have disposed of the bottle and will be using only the pen while in mexico.. after all, i bought the "system" to get rid of toxic material..
believe you me, when i get back, i will let you know what i think..
hasta la vista

IM BACK!!
i was meandering through my reviews and came across this one, and thought i would elbaorate on my experience with the steripen..
while anyone who has been there(or any non industrialized country) knows that clean drinking water in mexico can be a "craps shoot"(no pun intended).. i must admit that i did not suffer the same gastrointestinal problems as i have on previous adventures in country but, i felt good about this purchase from the get go.. UV sterilization technology in water treatment has been accepted protocol for years in large municipal applications and is virtually unerring in its ability to deal with a huge list of known pathogens..
FYI-the UV does not actually kill the bacteria themselves, but causes their DNA to mutate so that they cannot successfully multiply in large numbers.. while the majority of the bacteria are effected immediately, the length of contact of the pen(UV) in the water, is due to redundancy protocol..
the only issue that i have with the steripen is the small amount of water(a liter) it treats in a minute of time..
heres mud in your eye

it is pretty good.Oct 30, 2008
you have to press the button first, wait for the green light, then immerse the light tube into the water. Great for traveling to another country where the water condition is unknown.. and yah.. NIMH battery is a must or else you will be running through the alkaline batteries like there is no tomorrow... too bad they didn't provide it.
