i wonder if i tossed mine out too soon- how do you really know the granules are used up? mine appeared dark blue on the outer ring,white in middle

I don't think that yours were used up. They really do turn more blue. But it is a long time since I have used that demineraliser. I have put together a Reverse Osmosis system to clean the water that I put into the humidifier.

Don't really know, I just replaced it for the start of the new Fall season, whenever we start running the heater.

Good Q when I opened my order they were good clear half white and small in size. Generally after using them they turn pale yellow and they tend to swell little.

You replace this cartridge when you start getting white dust on things. This is the minerals in your water. As this cartridge gets full of these minerals, it's efficiency goes down. Depending on how hard your water is, this time can vary greatly.

HEY Alsunusi! You know it's funny you ask that because, the first box I used and "FELL IN LOVE WITH" was the white box with I believe blue writing. The second box was the brown box, and it was horrible!!!! So, perhaps there is something to that. It's too late to call customer service at Phytospecific, but I will tomorrow and find out if there is a difference and what that difference is. Hopefully they have not reformulated the product or anything dumb like that. Thanks for asking!Eve

The one I have only has one real smal brown stripe over where it has 1.0 fl 0z The rest is white. I would think if the writing is the exact same, it is , You know everyone is always changing there containers! It took a longe time for it to show any difrence in my dark spots. Hope this helps you.

I've been using this stuff for quite a while & I was really put off by the color as well. It used to be so much darker. Mine did not have a bad smell ... it just seemed like they had diluted it. I contacted the company & they said that they have a new "processing system" but they assured me that they weren't diluting it. I don't know if I believe it because it doesn't seem to have the same effects that it had before. With that said, I am still using it.

I mixed mine with existing. I want some of the blue stuff in there because I think the kristal will freeze too easy otherwise

It probably got cold during shipping. Warm it up under hot tap water and see if it clears up. Jojoba oil solidifies at cold temperatures. Throw it in the fridge and you'll see what i mean.

I asked the company, they say NO only because the way it is mixed. take a butter knife or flat swrewdriver & pop off the top, it comes right off & goes right back on just push down on it...I mixed one TBLS Miracle Grow granular <blue> in the bottle with 16 oz. warm water & let it sit overnight to dissolve. I have no idea if 1 TBLS is adequate but better to have a weaker solution than burn up the plants....the company should make them refillable.

I have been monitoring mine since i bought it.It has not gotten slimy or shown anything that I can feel as dirty between fillings of the container.I only fill it half full for now.I have cleaned it once in that time.

It is a heavy powder- will make a bit of a cloud....but once you have thrown it you will have this intense powder pigment around...clean up may be a nightmare.

This did not happen to me. Before using the grinder I washed the grinding stone and the container thoroughly. However, even if you do not wash them, the color should not 'run'. Maybe some grease or stain was ready on the stones

The entire tub of granules should shake loosely. If the top section is hard then it was exposed to moisture. It will absorb moisture and 'shrink' as it absorbs more moisture down to the indication line.

My experience with these is not good. Mine turned to purple within one month of purchasing them...without having opened them. My other batch had not turned yet, but when I tried to seal the left overs, it did not work. These are meant to be used immediately and completely, I think. So, if you're not ready to use all of them, wait until you are. Hope this helps.

Idk. Mine is greenish and watery. It's not white at all. I do give bottle a shake or 2 to mix it. Maybe it's settlement? I haven ordered another bottle yet. Maybe ask company if they have chg the color.

I have the same issue. If I use enough to get it to stay, I have issues with the white clumps showing up. If I use a small amount, it doesn't hold well enough. Thinking of trying a different brand, or maybe a darker color that will match my 'stache better.

The response I got from NOW Foods on this issue: No Worry. This is a concentrated extract. Some of the new material is very light. A natural variance and within our specification reflective of a higher concentration in the original material. We've tested and confirmed the lighter color product for identity, purity, and potency.

I don't think you doing anything wrong however I would advise against reuse of the sugar ring. Whenever I clean the inside bowl I get like a grayish residue and I would hate to think I am giving some of this lead like residue to kids.

I hadn't answered this as soon as I usually do because I wanted to see for myself. I to have noticed dark grains in the bottom of my glass. Thought I would test it out to see what was being ingested by my critters and self. I tried a magnet to the grains and after dried it did pick up a few. Will just wash down the drain from now on. I won't stop using DE as the benefit is much to good. Thanks for the heads up and question.
