Blue Hill, ME – April 22, 2009 – SteriPEN®, produced by Hydro-Photon, Inc., the leader in handheld water purifiers, is pleased to announce the selection of the SteriPEN Journey LCD by Women’s Adventure magazine for their the first-ever Spring 2009 Editor’s Choice Awards. Women’s Adventure conducted a comprehensive search for the best of the best outdoor equipment and products for active women. The editors tested over 1,000 products, publishing the winners in the April 2009 issue.

The SteriPEN Journey LCD was selected for its speed, reliability and easy to use interface. “If you’re headed overseas – or anywhere you feel you might need extra backup in the water safety department – the Journey LCD should make its way into your bag,” according to editors of Women’s Adventure.

The SteriPEN Journey LCD uses century-old technology, ultraviolet (UV) light, to destroy the DNA of disease-causing bacteria, viruses and parasitic protozoa. By using universal symbols, the Journey LCD takes the guesswork out of the water purification process. The Journey’s innovative LCD screen displays the volume selection, battery status and
countdown timer. The Journey will purify 16 oz. of water in 48 seconds or 32 oz. (1 L) in 90 seconds. The LCD screen also tracks the number of uses and signals when lamp usage approaches its life limit. Providing over 8,000 treatments, the lamp life for SteriPEN Journey LCD will provide safe drinking water for years.
