If you like going on long trips in the backcountry or traveling to places with unsafe drinking water, the SteriPEN Classic 3 UV water purifier and pre-filter bundle is the way to go. The 40 micron pre-filter screws tightly to the top of your 1 liter Nalgene bottle and filters out particulates that you don't want to drink and get in the way of UV sterilization. Once filtered, you just turn on the SteriPEN, insert into the filter opening, and gently stir the water. Within 90 seconds you have a full liter of safe drinking water, eliminating the need for chemical treatments or filling up the landfill with plastic bottles.
