The best water supply for on the go: a test report
The best water supply for on the go: a test report
If you travel frequently, the purchase of water in bottles can be undertaken to an expensive. We take a look at Steripen, the best water cleaner for travel we have ever used
We have overnight people in some pretty simple places over the course of our trip. There was the Fiji campsite in Taveuni with a rather poor chest of drawers, the Samoan beach fale in Savaii, which had no walls, and the Colombian campsite in San Agustin with a brownish yellow drinking water.
In all of these places we were able to drink the tap water (in one case of water from the hose) because we could clean the water on the way.
On our past trips to India, Bangladesh, Tanzania, Cambodia and the like, we tried cleaning filters, tablets, iodine, chlorine and the good old -fashioned cooking, but these were either ineffective, ineffective or just tasted terrible.
For this reason, we have researched the best water processor for the trip and found that the Steripen Ultra is the best water producer for the trip. Here are seven reasons why it is the best on the market. (And no, you don't pay us for it!)alt = "Simple ways to travel more environmentally friendly"> Atlas & Boots Our steripen saved us hundreds of dollars since we bought one three years ago
Almost everything kills harmful
In contrast to water filters, the steripen kills over 99.9 % of the bacteria, viruses and protozoa, which cause diseases transmitted by water. It uses UV light to zap the uncomfortable stuff and leaves your water clean and safe (even if it is colored brownish-yellow).It's super fast
In contrast to boiling water (and water filters), the steripen is quick. It only takes 90 seconds to sterilize a liter of water, and 50 seconds for half a liter.It is portable
With only 140 g, the steripen weighs less than a bottle of water. It fits into a backpack on the side, in a cultural bag or even in a handbag.
It can be charged via USB
The curse of every backpacker that travels with gadgets are the numerous different chargers. The steripen can be charged via USB, which means that you only have to take one cable with you to charge it from the power grid, a solar charger or a laptop. A full load is sufficient for 50 applications. (In view of the purpose it serves, it is basically science fiction.)
It has no influence on the taste
In contrast to chlorine and iodine, the steripen has no influence on the taste, which means that delicious water remains delicious and terrible water unfortunately tastes terrible. Maybe it would be perfect if you were introducing a strawberry infusion.It is worth his money
So what is the catch? Well, at 95 £ it is not easy for the bag. If you are more or long-term travelers, it costs you less in the long term than to buy water in bottles all the time. For us, the comparison is between £ 95 and a bottled water worth around £ 365 in the course of a year. The steripen holds 8,000 applications - much cheaper than 8,000 bottles of water!
you feel like a Jedi
Well, that's how it looks in the dark ...
