SteriPEN Emergency Water Purifier

Features

The Emergency is strong, sturdy and reliable and designed to fit perfectly into commercial water bottles, forming a seal that lets you keep the water in the original bottle for purification. Just insert the Emergency securely into the mouth of the bottle, turn it upside down, and you have safe drinking water in less than a minute.

• Requires no pumping, chemicals, test strips, extended time-keeping or filters; leaves no aftertaste, will not clog and does not require lubrication
• Uses UV light rays instead of chemicals to purify water for drinking
• Ultraviolet (UV-C) light rays safely sterilise clear water by destroying protozoa (including Giardia and Cryptosporidium), bacteria and even viruses
• Turns itself off once ultraviolet treatment is complete; light source can be used up to 3,000 times! SteriPEN purifies (500ml) in just 48 seconds; (1 litre) in just 90 seconds. All without any pumping, timekeeping, or any added aftertaste or chemical odour
• Low-power indicator lets you know when batteries need replacing; twist-off cap permits easy battery access
• Long used by municipal water districts and bottling companies, low-level UV-C light treats water safely, and unit's light will not damage eyes or skin

Technology

Extensive microbiological and structural testing by independent laboratories across the U.S. and Canada has proven SteriPEN® to be safe and effective, confirming the fact that SteriPEN®’s UV light technology eliminates over 99.9% of bacteria, viruses and protozoa that cause water-borne illness. As a result, SteriPEN® has earned the Water Quality Association’s Gold Seal, certifying that SteriPEN purifies water safely and effectively.

• Proven Technology:
  • 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.
• Proven Effective:
  • SteriPEN®’s effectiveness has been well established in a wide range of tests conducted by several certified independent laboratories and test facilities across the U.S. and Canada. These rigorous tests prove that SteriPEN® exceeds the standard set forth in the U.S. EPA Guide Standard and Protocol for Testing Microbiological Water Purifiers. SteriPEN® products have also been ceritifed as safe and effective by the Water Quality Association.
• Proven Durability
  • Electronic testing has been conducted in house and at EBW Electronics of Holland, MI. Testing has centered on UV lamp and electronic circuit behavior and reliability. SteriPEN® lamps and electronics have been successfully cycle tested beyond their specified lamp life and operated at a range of temperature extremes. Every production assembly will be thoroughly electronically tested with individual test results archived, prior to being packaged.
  • Mechanical Testing has been designed to insure that SteriPEN® will stand up to some abuse. Pressure testing of seals around lamp and water sensors indicates good water tight integrity. And drop testing from 3 feet onto cement has shown good mechanical integrity with no component failure.
