What does the SteriPen do to water that has a strong taste of chlorine (like tap water in a lot of places in the world)? I am not one of those who`ll fill up my water bottle from ponds and sreams - I just want to be able to drink tap water everywhere I go. Is the chlorine in the water bad for you?

Chlorinated water is not harmful to you. Small amounts are in most tap water along with many other things. The SteriPEN neither removes the taste of chlorine from water nor the taste of anything else.
