why is the bottle dusty? is that a negative signal for quality or is that dust normal?

There may be a fine white residue lining the inside of the bottle which is added to keep the gelcaps from sticking in moist conditions. This is normal. If the capsules are stuck together, or your dusty residue is heavy or not white, send it back.

It seems very low dust to me. It also controls odor better than any litter I've ever used, and I think that's due, at least in part, to the fact that the odor doesn't get dispersed through flying dust.

This is not carbonated, if the bottle you have sounds like that it's probably bad. I would return/exchange.

sorry to hear. it's annoying, especially if you're meticulous with these things! i'm not sure it's common (at least it hasn't happened to me). however, i do use a lens blower/duster, a microfiber, methyl alcohol cleaning liquid. see this useful link from Ken Rockwell (http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/cleaning.htm) and more generic help from B&H;: http://goo.gl/L3ZE9. good luck. post back how you make out.

No this is not normal, my bottle has a very hard snap when closing it's never spilled.

no I haven't experienced those issues. Perhaps the poor seal is to blame, I would return and try another shipment.

You're welcome! :) BTW, I'd have to say there really isn't any kind of smell, bad or good, just neutral??? If that makes sense... Overall I'm pleased with mine, it seems to make a huge difference with dust and what not. :)

What kind of "things?" Doesn't sound normal to me. Think I would request a new bottle.

There was a stronger metallic taste upon first using the bottle even though I gave it a rinse. It has since faded and I notice it every once in a while...i might be sensitive to it, but it's worth noting. Good luck with you're decision.

Hi, There is no sediment in the bottom of my bottle and it has a very faint amber, almost clear hue to the color of the oil. It is very clear not cloudy at all and has a very light organic nutty scent.

Eli, regarding mildew, I'd say this bottle is pretty resilient. I use mine everyday, exclusively for water, but I've never had any trouble with mildew. I've even left water in it over the weekend and never seen any signs of uncleanliness. The most I've ever done to clean the bottle is put warm water and soap in it and shake it then rinse. Based on the limited amount of cleaning I do to the bottle and the amount I use it, I'd say with confidence that mildew won't be an issue with this bottle. The one caveat of my experience is that I only use it for water, I can't speak for any sugary drinks that are probably more likely to produce mildew. Hope this helps!-Dave Eli, regarding mildew, I'd say this bottle is pretty resilient. I use mine everyday, exclusively for water, but I've never had any trouble with mildew.

Because the filter is such an important part and the top was really scuffed up, I decided to get a replacement from Amazon. For future reference, the replacement had no scratches of any kind, but I do smell a little grease. So I am guessing the latter is normal. Now that I think about it, the first one was probably new, but like I said not worth taking a chance for me. Thanks for all of the answers, they were helpful.

Hi, the bottle I purchased it was cloudy. I didn't even notice it was clear in the picture. It is thick solution. Nothing is wrong. I have used half the bottle and have purchased a second bottle to have on hand. Hope this helps.

it is not normal at all. Also I hope the first bottle was full because mine was not and I sent it back.

I have never had this problem. However, I am on my second bottle and haven't had any issues.

I just opened a fresh bottle, and the product was spoiled. It smelled like vinegar and it even bubbled. I have had maybe 15-20 bottles so far, and this is the first time that happened. However, with the hefty price tag of $30, this should not happen at all...

Hey, Mike... are you concerned about the water bottle or the canister? If it's the water bottle, I'd return it.
