Does the Orbeez dry out? Do you have to keep replacing them or keep putting them back in water?

I left some out unsealed and they dried up within a few days but I have had the ones in my daughter's lamp since Christmas and they are still the same and haven't changed size!!!!! &#128522;

I don't know. I use them up fairly quickly. I have had them up to a year and they didn't dry out.

I got them some time ago, and they are still working well, the little remote has started to lag a bit, but I'm guessing its due to the need of a new battery.. I can tell you that once I did drive trough a flooded highway and nothing happened to them, but again I did not have them underwater for a prolonged period of time. At most 3 to 4 minutes.

they should stay dry unless you have them in an unusually damp area, like a bathroom. Otherwise they should be good where they are.

You don't have to replace them, they are plastic. If you find yourself needing to backflush every 3 or 4 days, then the filter is pretty full. You can either remove them and clean them and reuse, or replace with new ones and then clean them for another change out once the filter fills again. I swap mine about every 5 or 6 months and clean in between. The filter is excellent at cleaning the water.

After about a year they get so plugged full of algae the filter will not work very well. At that point they should be replaced. You can clean them, but holding hundreds of 1/2 inch disks in front of the spraw of water gets tiring.

I just leave them in the dryer all the time. No need to take them out to dry since they don't get wet.

The same has happened to me, they tend to dry-out if not used. If you used them, try to verify you have not run out of ink.

These are my girls favorite pens that they have had for several years & they haven't had any issues of pens drying out. Those are the only pens they want to use. Sorry you experienced that.

It says in the instructions "Strainer to remove water without losing your Orbeez!" So I believe that's how. You don't throw them away :)

I have had three of them and they all do the same after a few months. I clean them and use distilled water and the same results. Buy a Shark or other brand. They seem to work much better.

I haven't had to replace mine yet (I've washed and air dried them and they seem fine), so I haven't had to deal with this issue yet. Brookstone sells this vacuum so you might try writing to them to see if they can help you. Good Luck!

I use 2 of them on my pontoon boat. They haven't gotten wet from the water of the river, but they are exposed to rain etc. Thus far, they have both remained dry inside. I've been happy with them.

They come dry, once you get them and when you are ready to use them place them in warm water in order to make them expand. They will stay expanded for a couple of weeks once you see them shrinking place them in warm water again so you can re-used them

I just rinse mine and let it dry. No trouble for the 3-4 years that I owned the first one.

Mine unfortunately held water and never dried. Had to throw it away after a month or so

I have had no trouble getting the rugs to dry and I have several of them. My machine just has a spin cycle so if I think there is more water in them I just spin them an extra time and then I pop them into our dyer on an air only cycle for an hour and they come out dry.
