Although I drink a bit too much Pepsi, my favorite drink of all-time is still water. North Americans should consider themselves fortunate because water is a luxury in many parts of the world and we have access to plenty of it here in Canada and USA. I’ve had my share of terrible experiences when it comes to unsafe water overseas but fortunately it didn’t go beyond a few trips to the washroom. I now have portable filters but I came across another interesting water purifier which may be convenient for some of you reading this. The device I speak of is the Steripen Adventurer Opti and very portable.
The Steripen Adventurer Opti uses ultraviolet light to purify water. Believe it or not, this method is effective in killing over 99.9% of bacteria and viruses found in water thus making it safe for humans to consume. Another great bonus with this device is that the taste of the water is not altered in any way. The water will still taste like…water. No weird ozone after taste here!
The device is capable of filtering up to 8,000 liters of water so it should last you for quite some time. The device is light, compact, and perfect for the outdoorsy type of person although anyone can use it. As a bonus, the UV lamp can also be used at a flashlight when you are stuck in the dark although not the intention of the device.
The Steripen Adventurer Opti is available for only $78 on Amazon.
