Given the recent water fiasco here in Boston, it’s nice to see you can get a device that will destroy viruses, bacteria and protozoa–including Giardia and Cryptosporidium–using ultraviolet (UV) light. The SteriPen takes 48 seconds to purify 16 ounces of fluid, 90 seconds for 32 ounces. That’s quite a bit of water, and enough for most general cooking. It’s also easy to use–just press a button to start and the SteriPEN shuts off when purification is complete. No pumping, no chemicals, no test strips, no timekeeping, no lubricating, and no replacement filters required.
