REI Members get back an estimated $ 4.00 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.

Comments about MSR HyperFlow Replacement Cartridge:

I'm on my third replacement cartridge in three years. I get one after every season. While this system is lightweight and does the job, it only gushes out water for the first couple of liters or so. After that, it rapidly becomes difficult to pump, the water is forced out with great effort and it stays that way until you get tired of straining and shell out the bucks for another one. The first year I owned a Hyperflow I thought I was doing something wrong, so I was very, very careful with the next filter that I bought. I back flushed every time when used. I filtered only visibly clear water. The device still became difficult to pump to after a half dozen uses. With the third replacement filter I had the same results. Why do I keep buying them? I like the light weight too much I guess.

Comments about MSR HyperFlow Replacement Cartridge:

Fast and easy to use when the filter is new. If I would have read the instructions I would have known to pre-filter the water that had a lot of tannins. Since I hadn't, the first 5 liters pumped easily, the next 5 with difficulty and the last 10 of our trip with extreme effort despite several backflushes. Now I need to buy a new filter because even backflushing at home does not get it flowing well. 20 liters if well short of the 1000 listed.

Comments about MSR HyperFlow Replacement Cartridge:

The product is very light and works well when new. However I filtered quite clean snow water with the filter and expect that I filtered less than 50 gallons before the filter cartridge became very difficult to use. I think if it claimed 200 liters maximum it would be a more accurate description.

I also suspect that if I was filtering desert water that I would likely only get 10 gallons out of this filter cartride.

So I recommend this cartridge and associated filter only in areas with crystal clear water such as much of the Sierras or San Bernadino Mountains and would only expect to get ~50 gallons of filtered water. I cannot imagine the situation were I would expect 200 gallons out of this filter cartridge.

I would recommend the product with the above limitations.
