Okay now I’m a believer, this is the future, a portable UV water purifier

Well, this certainly makes the water in Mexico a little less scary.*

One of the better and most useful travel gadgets on the market today, the water purifier takes the worry out of taking a sip of foreign beverages (yes even the ones with an umbrella). Its called the SteriPen Adventurer.

Independently tested by four universities, the SteriPen has been shown to destroy in excess of 99.9999% of bacteria, 99.99% of viruses and 99.9% of protozoa

I dunno about you but I’m convinced. However, I do like bottled water, and I like my water to be slightly clear and not, well…brown.

If you are a super nerd, here’s some of the bacteria and thingies that this stuff will actually get rid of, oh yah, don’t bother scanning for ‘brown’, I already checked.

E. coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Poliovirus, Rotavirus, Klebsiella terrigena, Streptococcus faecalis, Bacillus subtilis (vegitative and spore), common yeast, Coliphage MS2, Giardia and Cryptosporidum.

Isn’t that stuff in a pizza pop?

Just kidding, pizza pops rock.

Hit the jump to get your own awesome water purifier that makes you practically impervious to disease but not hangovers.

*No seriously, don’t drink the water in Mexico. My sister did once and she spent her vacation on the toilet.
