Its easy to give up bottled water in England but what of when you are abroad? in countries where the water is not so reliable? India for example. Most parts of India you have to buy water in those vile plastic bottles that are now such an ugly part of the Indian landscape.
The steri pen is my solution to that particular problem. Stick the sticky bit in a liter of water – switch on and 90 seconds later the water is safe to drink.
Works by UV light, weighs next to nothing and is tiny.
I used it for a year in India and had no tummy troubles at all – which was rather a shame as I was depending on a bout of Delhi Belly to help with my w
eight loss programme.
For detailed information visit the steriPEN site and check out great reviews of the product here and here.
What it kills can be found dead as a dodo right here.
I bought mine on E bay but if you are in Khatmandu you can buy them there, if you are in the u.k. you can get them from Amazon
