"In response to "flawed idea?" " - Review of Hydro Photon SteriPEN Adventurer Handheld Ultraviolet Water Purifier

While I have not personally used the Steripen, cleaning the contaminated bottle or bladder threads is a simple matter. As with the MIOX and other in bottle purification methods, detoxifying the threads is accomplished by "flushing" the contaminated threads with purified water. Simply take your bottle of purified water and loosen the threads on it (loose enough that water can come out but tight enough that the lid stays on), and invert the bottle such that the purified water flushes any contaminated water from the bottle threads.
