In what situations should I take a SteriPEN?
SteriPEN should be brought along whenever there is any concern about water safety. The primary situations include hiking or camping, where local rivers or streams are often used for water needs; when traveling to developing countries where the water treatment systems are often inadequate and bottled water may not always be available or come from unknown sources; also, if you live in areas at risk for natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes and chronic flood zones.
