REI Members get back an estimated $ 21.40 on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

I have used this in places where you are warned only to drink bottled water .
I drank tap water filtered by the Trav-L-Pure and never got ill and saved a lot of hassle.

Comments about First Need Trav-L-Pure Water Purifier:

One of the best engineered products I've used. Light, easy to pack, easy to use. We traveled for 6 weeks in "don't drink the water" countries and love it! It takes any water (not saltwater) and gives taste free, bug free (I didn't get sick from it) water! Won't travel overseas without it now.
