The AquaStrike is TrailWarden's UV purifier — the only handheld water treatment device that kills bacteria, protozoa, and viruses in 90 seconds per liter. Critical for international travel and the most comprehensive single-device water treatment available. The 254nm UV-C wavelength scrambles pathogen DNA, rendering them unable to reproduce — without adding any taste or chemical residue to your water.
A USB-C rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides approximately 50 treatment cycles per charge. The auto-shutoff confirms treatment completion with a green light after 90 seconds. Works in clear water; pre-filter turbid sources through a bandana or squeeze filter for full effectiveness.
