Fantastic urban water protection

My work takes me all over the world, not to idyllic outdoor environments but usually cities. In places like India the hotels have clear running water - but not safe water. This is where the Steripen has been invaluable. Filling a water bottle with tap water and then treating it in 90 seconds with the device makes it safe to drink - on my travels I have not fallen ill to waterborne contamination when using it; but I have almost immediately when I didn't have it. With no need to rely on bottled water you can drink as much as you want and I feel this also helps to keep you healthy. I usually carry it in my EDC bag and have sometimes treated a glass of water under the table in a restaurant if I was a bit suspicious. I use the classic with rechargeable batteries but the USB one looks good too.
