About SteriPEN Replacement Filter Cartridge
The SteriPen Pre-Filter is designed to filter out particulates and sediment from your water before you apply the UV purifier. The replacement cartridge keeps your pre-filter in working order and maximizes the effectiveness of the ultraviolet purification process.
