Review on ๐Ÿ’ง SteriPen FAF-ADP Water Filter Bottle Kit by Rebecca Porter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

4 microns isn't enough, however.

In some water sources, even a 4 micron filter is not enough to filter out some of the suspended matter, causing the water to become somewhat cloudy. I use the SteriPEN Classic manual water conditioner. It includes instructions on how to deal with cloudy water. We have not come across flocculants that are incompatible with chlorine treatment, which defeats the purpose of using Steripen. This system is vented to allow air displaced by water to escape when the water tank is full. Remove the vented cartridge to insert the Steripen. READ INSTRUCTIONS for taking Steripen! Just make sure to press the button on the Steripen for the required dosage FIRST before inserting it into the filter housing. once for 32oz, twice for 16. I saw some reviews that were wrong! Also, your reservoir must be sufficiently filled to allow water to come in contact with the 2 electrodes of the Steripen when it is in the filter housing. Write down the routine before heading out into the wild! In daylight or with an opaque container, filter housing and steripen you can't see anything. You need to look at the LED on the Steripen to know when the treatment is over. If you're using something like the Katadyn Pocket Micro Water Filter, you don't need this pre-filter.
