Comments about Hydro-Photon SteriPEN Ultraviolet Water Purifier: We got this for a trip to Costa Rica and ended up using the filter almost exclusively. I have taken it backpacking and for the weight and the short battery life creating the need to carry extras, i suggest a filter.

Comments about Hydro-Photon SteriPEN Ultraviolet Water Purifier: Bought for lightweight backpacking, to replace standard pump filter. Tested it at home w/ recommended lithium batteries, but on first use on trail, it wouldn't turn on. Had to use alkaline batteries (all we had extras of), and it worked; the lithiums worked fine in other devices we had on trail. It's difficult to use with soft-plastic water bladders and large metal water bottles w/ smaller mouths. Not sure how UV affects use-life of water bladders either (UV wrecks your tent fabric and other plastics). It's supposed to be lightweight, but when packing the extra (take at least two full replacement sets) batteries (which cause considerable environmental damage to make), you're better off with the old reliable mechanical pump that doesn't go in the landfill when the lamp burns out. Nice idea, not worth the hassle or money.

Comments about Hydro-Photon SteriPEN Ultraviolet Water Purifier: I took this on a three day trip through the NH wilderness area. It performed flawlessly and it allowed me to carry less water since I could purify water as I needed it (water is heavy). Great tool, light weight and with the adapter I purified the water right in the drinking containers.

Below what temperature should it not be used and why?Asked on 9/21/2010 by Anonymous1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Unfortunately the text in our features section was incorrect. The following text was taken from the FAQ section on steripen.com...
Can SteriPEN be used in cold weather?
Yes. SteriPEN has been successfully used on mountains all over the world- including Kilimanjaro and Everest. If the ambient temperature is below 32 degrees F we suggest that you carry the SteriPEN in your pocket to keep warm, as battery performance may be impacted by the cold temperature.Answered on 9/22/2010 by Shawn from New Jersey
