I've been to India and China 4 times in the last 18 months, this SteriPen water purifier looks like a great addition to the travel bag.
SteriPen has an integrated LCD screen showing user’s selection (1/2 liter or 1 liter), battery status and countdown timer. The LCD screen also tracks the number of uses and signals when lamp usage approaches its life limit. Lamp life for SteriPEN JourneyLCD can purify 1 liter 4 times a day for nearly 7 years!. The SteriPENs, is fast too, completing a 1/2 liter (16 oz.) in 48 seconds and only weighs 4.5 ounces. You can find the SteriPen in various versions on amazon.com starting at about $70.
