The Katadyn Steripen water purifier uses UV-C ultraviolet rays to sterilize clear water, neutralizing 99.9% of protozoa such as Giardia and Cryptosporidia, bacteria, and viruses. Once the process is complete, the UV lamp turns off and the LED indicator lights up. It has two settings for 0.5 or 1 litre of water, with sterilization times of 48 or 90 seconds, respectively.
The head requires a container with a minimum diameter of 2.2 cm. The lamp has a lifespan of 3,000 sterilization cycles. The device runs on four AA alkaline batteries or rechargeable lithium or NiMH batteries, which are not included. Cloudy water or water containing sediment affects its effectiveness.
