The AdventurerOpti is SteriPEN®'s smallest and lightest water purification tool. It uses a revolutionary optical eye to sense the water - this patent-pending technology ensures safe use and provides purification in even the coldest of waters. Works with containers with minimum 4.5cm diameter opening. Winner of Backpacker Magazine's Editor's Choice 2011.

Features

  • The optical water sensor means this device will only work when immersed in water
  • Press the button to activate the device, dip into the water you want to treat (at which point the UV lamp will turn on and emit UV light and a visible blue light) and agitate the water with the device until the treatment is finished
  • The sensor doubles as an LED torch which is a great back up light when you are camping or night-time walking to refill your water bottle. Keep the cap in place to protect the UV lamp.
  • Designed to treat 500ml to 1 litre of clear water at a time
  • 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
  • Small size fits most containers - use it in cups, mugs, water bottles and canteens; carries easily in a shirt pocket
  • Turns itself off once ultraviolet treatment is complete; light source can be used up to 8,000 times!
  • Watertight seals keep water away from the electronics; rubberized coating ensures secure handling in wet conditions
  • 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
  • Includes two nonrechargeable lithium CR123A batteries
  • Use only on clear water, as cloudy, sediment-laden water hinders effectiveness - use a pre-filter to clear particulates and debris
  • Comes in a neoprene carrying case which has a convenient belt loop

Technologies

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.
Care
  • When not in use, keep your AdventurerOpti in a clean, dry, non-abrasive area or container.
  • AdventurerOpti should not be exposed to ambient temperatures above 60°C or below -20°C. Warm or cool before using if the AdventurerOpti is outside of these temperatures.
  • When storing your AdventurerOpti for long periods, remove the batteries.
  • To clean your AdventurerOpti, wash with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse soap off and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
  • Note that while the battery compartment of AdventurerOpti is designed to be water resistant, it is not guaranteed to be impermeable and should therefore never be submerged.
