I usally us Polar Pure for purifying my water worked well for years but wanted something else. Did research on Steri Pen decided on the Adveturer model. Life expectancy is 8000 Litres works on 2 CR123A Lithiem batteries, takes 90 seconds to treat 1litre Amazon had for roughly $50.00 gotta say it's impressive and easy to use seems durable as well. I hold a folded bandana over my canteen to filter debris out then immerse the light for 90 seconds the light turns off when done. You do need a widemouth container to allow the Steri Pen to fit. Just figured I'd pass the info along in case anyone was considering a alternative method.

I looked at them too a while back. They do look impressive.
I just can't by the battery issue. Know what I mean? I can add $25 to the $50 and buy a Kaitlyn with lots of years of proof use and no battery.
Just me. Good luck on a decision and tell us how it works.

Jimmy They do make rechargeable units, I also forgot to mention when your Steri Pen is used up send it back for replacement FREE
