Water Bottle Kills Bacteria With UV Light

Spring is on the horizon, and as people fall in love with nature all over again, more camping and hiking trips will be planned. All of those glittering streams in the forest may look tempting when you're thirsty, but most contain unsafe bacteria. Proper protection is needed. After an introduction in 2009 and a subsequent re-tweaking, a new (and cheaper) version of CamelBak’s All Clear Microbiological UV Water Bottle, or simply All Clear, will be released in March.
The bottle has a purification system that uses ultraviolet light to kill bacteria and microorganisms that may live in streams or rivers. CamelBak claims that in just 60 seconds, the water bottle kills 99.9999 percent of bacteria, 99.99 percent of viruses and 99.9 percent of protozoa in 25 ounces of water.
