The Steripen Classic 3 Handheld Water Purifier with Prefilter Bundle Pack uses shortwave ultraviolet light to disinfect your backcountry drinking water. The Steripen system disrupts the DNA of harmful bacteria, viruses, and protozoa so they won't infect you on your adventure or afterward. The Prefilter screws onto 63mm-thread bottles, creating a tight seal that removes particles and debris from the water.

DO NOT BUY! Dead after <60 min. of use
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
This product sounds good on paper but did not work in practice. The water sensor worked intermittently during my initial test. Tried everything from replacing batteries, adjusting water levels, etc. but still cannot get the UV light on consistently. I then took it to a 5-day trip to hiking in Yosemite and managed to have it working during the trip. After returning to home, it stopped to function again. This time regardless what I do the UV light would not turn on at all. After many trials with brand new batteries and various water levels I came to the conclusion that the UV bulb is dead after less than 60 minutes of usage. It is the worst purchase I made. I would give it ZERO stars if that was possible. In summary, it is a piece of junk which may cause serious problems for you while in wildness if you do not also carry other water treatment systems as backups. DO NOT BUY IT!!!
