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.

It just doesn't get any easier! The SteriPEN™ Journey water purifier system takes the guesswork out of the water treatment so you can enjoy clean, purified water while on the go.

System includes the SteriPEN Journey purifier, FitsAll water bottle prefilter, 1-liter BPA-free wide-mouth water bottle, SteriPEN carrying case and instruction manuals
Journey requires no pumping, chemicals, test strips, extended time-keeping or filters; leaves no aftertaste, will not clog and does not require lubrication
Innovative SteriPEN system uses UV light rays instead of chemicals to purify water for drinking
Ultraviolet (UV-C) light rays safely sterilize clear water by destroying 99.99% of protozoa (including giardia and cryptosporidia), bacteria and even viruses
SteriPEN protects you from risks that cause botulism, cholera, dysentery and typhoid, just to name a few
But if clear water is not available, no worries—the included cone-shaped prefilter clears particulates and debris from water
FitsAll prefilter fits the included Nalgene BPA-free water bottle as well as nearly any other size bottle; pour source water through filter, and clean water enters bottle
SteriPEN Journey is simple to use: Just press a button and gently agitate the water with a quick stir
Easy-to-read LCD screen tracks the progress of the treatment, counting down the seconds and displaying a happy face when successfully completed
Purifies 16 fl. oz. of water (cold or warm) in less than a minute, or 32 fl. oz. in a minute and a half
LCD screen indicates the volume of water selected, battery power, number of lamp uses and failure alerts
Small size fits most containers—use it in cups, mugs, water bottles and canteens; carries easily in a shirt pocket
SteriPEN Journey turns itself off once ultraviolet treatment is complete; light source can be used 10,000 times!
Watertight seals keep water away from the electronics; rubberized coating ensures secure handling in wet conditions
Low-power indicator lets you know when batteries need replacing; twist-off cap permits easy battery access
Long used by municipal water districts and bottling companies, low-level UV-C light treats water safely, and unit's light will not damage eyes or skin
SteriPEN Journey water purifier system includes 2 nonrechargeable lithium CR123A batteries
Use only on clear water, as cloudy, sediment-laden water hinders effectiveness

Since late 2008, all SteriPEN water sensors feature twice the electrode voltage of older models. The increased electrical current flow allows proper function in water with low conductivity such as snowmelt and even mineral-free distilled water.

Please note: SteriPEN products can only be shipped to U.S. and Canada.

Comments about SteriPEN Journey Water Purifier System:

Having the green filter for sediment is a big plus. Having a read out on the SteriPen that tells you if the water is clean was a big plus over lower cost SteriPen with out the filter. Some people have had issue with batter life but I have not had issue to date but only used it 10 times in the last year. I will say that I stopped on the trail at a river at the same time as another person that had a hand pump filter. In the same time I was able to purify 3 2.0 L cans he did one. Then I was back on the trail fast. The first time I used it i hand to get the hang of it but after that it has been easy and fast if you know how to do it.

Good, but poor battery life

Comments about SteriPEN Journey Water Purifier System:

Just got back from 5 days in Kings Canyon. This device seems to work well, but about 10 liters from one set of batteries is not good. Product indicates 50 liters, but we did not come close with two separate pens. If you like this device, bring lots of batteries.

Comments about SteriPEN Journey Water Purifier System:

I have used this for four years on an annual backpacking trip in Yellowstone. Having competed in the Eco-Challenge and used mandatory chemicals to purify water, I longed for something simple that didn't used filters that get filled with muck. I bet I have filtered 400 liters and each one takes no more than 90 seconds with this device. I love it!
