Does the SteriPEN take care of water droplets that might be on the threads of my water bottle?
SteriPEN does not purify the threads of a water bottle. Users should use a clean piece of cloth such as a bandana to wipe off the threads of a bottle before drinking.Another way to address this issue is to use our Pre-Filter. Our Pre-Filter attaches to the opening of a standard wide mouth Nalgene type bottle. The Pre-Filter is designed to keep the threads dry while submerging the bottle into your water supply. Always check the threads for water droplets before drinking. Click here for more information.SteriPEN does not purify the threads of a water bottle.
