SteriPEN is located on the coast of Maine in the town of Blue Hill. SteriPEN employees greet each day by arriving to work in a spacious barn. The atmosphere is very relaxed where employees are welcome to grow a vegetable or herb garden.
Miles Maiden is Hydro-Photon’s founder and inventor of the SteriPEN™.
Hydro-Photon, Inc. was founded with a simple purpose: to develop ultraviolet technology, as is used in municipal water treatment plants, for use in a personal, portable device that would provide the user with safe drinking water anywhere.
Hydro-Photon received its first SteriPEN™ patent in 1999, followed by patents in 2000 and 2003. It kills viruses, bacteria and protozoa—including Giardia and Cryptosporidium—in seconds.
SteriPEN is easy to use.
SteriPEN™ provides a system pack which includes a SteriPEN, Pre-Filter and 1 Liter BottleSteriPEN™. The Classic UV Light Water Purifier SteriPEN™ is the only portable batch water purifier that uses Ultraviolet (UV) light to destroy waterborne microbes.
