Product Description
-------------------
Most people like to draw water from nature when camping or
hiking, but even a stream that looks clean may not be.
Microorganisms most often come from animal and human waste and
are spread by water run-off that ends up in local water sources.
Enter the SteriPen Adventurer Opti handheld UV water purifier
with Solar Charging Case, the smallest and lightest outdoor
SteriPEN on the market. The Adventurer Opti is equipped with a
revolutionary optical eye that senses nearby water. The purifier
then uses patent-pending UV purification technology to destroy
over 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa, including giardia
and cryptosporidium. The unit also includes an insulating sleeve
around the UV lamp to allow purification in even the coldest of
waters. As a result, you can enjoy your hiking and camping trips
to the ains, lakes, or forests without the fear of getting
ill from unsafe stream or lake water. The Adventurer Opti works
on any source of clear, fresh water in any country, including
bottled water from unknown sources. New paragraph
The Adventurer Opti is extremely efficient, with a design that
purifies 0.5L of water in 48 seconds and 1.0L in just 90 seconds.
Plus, the optical sensor can double as a convenient LED
flashlight. Activated by pressing and holding the single button
down for three seconds, the flashlight makes a great backup light
when camping or taking a nighttime walk to refill your water
bottle. The Adventurer Opti comes with a rugged Solar Charging
Case that clips to your backpack and charges one 7.2 volt
double-cell CR123 rechargeable lithium battery via solar power in
two to five days, depending on solar conditions and location. A
fully charged battery disinfects 30L or 60 half-litres of water.
The Adventurer Opti works with containers that have a minimum
1.75-inch diameter opening, including Nalgene wide-mouth bottles.
About UV Purification
The UV water purification method is more than 100 years old, and
is currently used to purify drinking water by some of the largest
cities in the world, including Seattle, New York, and many others
in North America, Europe, and Asia. Several leading bottled water
manufacturers also use UV purification to purify their source
water. During the UV purification method, the ultraviolet energy
emitted by the light is absorbed by the cells of the microbe,
preventing the cell enzymes from "reading" its . Without
intact , microbes cannot reproduce to make you . The
process is simple but effective, destroying more than 99.9
percent of harmful microorganisms.
Purifying water with UV light offers many advantages. In
addition to being safe and effective, UV light does not alter the
taste, pH, or other properties of the water, and works without
introducing s into the water. SteriPen UV purifiers have
also been tested by the internationalWater Quality Association
(WQA) against the U.S. EPA Microbiological Water Purifier
Standard, and have received the WQA's Gold Seal, signifying that
the products purify water safely and effectively.
