Why does this stuff clump into a ball and is is never kept open? I waste half of it.

The only time I have this problem is when I take it along to a humid area. I live in "high and dry" so it does not happen in my area. Hope this helps!

It sometimes does depending on moisture in the air. I simply cut the top of the container off carefully and dump it in a blender or you can crush it up yourself and then put it in another storage air tight container. It is good stuff and worth the effort.

To avoid clumping when you get the bottle home open it and transfer contents into small Tupperware containers and put them in the freezer. I have done this 3 times and it no longer clumps.

I have never experienced this problem thank goodness! All I can say is your humidity must be very high.

I have never had this problem just keep in the covered tightly in the kitchen cupboard and shake it every time I use it,make sure you check the dates on the bottle for freshness.i would send it back and try a different seller.you never know how they store there product.

Hi! I know it still clumps up even if you put the formula first. I think if you put the formula one at a time and not dump it on top of each other it will reduce the clumping because I notice that when I do it slowly it actually dissolves faster. But I'm kinda impatient sometimes so I just dump all the formula and just mix it vigorously until I see no more clumps. If you still see clumps then I guess just keep mixing. I know it takes a little time but it's better than shaking it for 5 minutes! LOL :)

I have this problem as well. I have three ideas I am trying. The first one is I thing my compost is too wet. I believe the proper ratio is 10 brown to 1 green. So I have a lot of shreddings that I am adding to my compost. The second is that I am adding very small sticks in the hopes this will break them up. I have plenty around the yard. Sticks are brown material. The third is I think I may have been rotating too much. I believe rotating makes the balls. I used to do it every day. Now I do 3 rotations every 4 days and sometimes I go as long as a week. Hope this helps.

Hmm, weird. Mine is clumping really well. I wonder if you're using enough litter? If not, your cat might be pushing litter out of the way, peeing on the bottom of the litter pan, then covering it back up with litter. I recommend putting more in the litter in the pan and seeing if that makes a difference. I personally put several inches high of litter in my cats' pan. There's no smell & it clumps really well.

I purchased a compost starter as well as some "pine" cat litter. It takes a little time to figure out the proper balance of green and brown. I was primarily using kitchen green waste with paper towels, egg shells, etc. and it wasn't enough "brown" so I added the pine cat litter and ripped up newspaper and that kicked it off. I sometimes have to use a hot water bottle to keep the heat up as again, if the balance is off, it won't get going.

I haven't had that problem at all but I only use salt in it. The lid does not keep it air tight so it tends to clump.

Mine did the same thing. I just squeezed the air out and used a clip to close it. It's frustrating though, you spend so much money on a product, you expect it to have proper packaging.

Not sure what to tell you. Maybe you are not getting the two halves pushed together firmly before you fill them. I have had a tiny ridge in the middle of the ball. I tend to underfill rather than over fill. I also boil and then cool the water before I fill them so they are more clear.

I've had the exact same problem. I just used a clip to keep it closed. Also thinking of transferring it into a freezer bag since I store it in the freezer.

No, I had the same issue.....that at the end of the day end it up in the trash can.....peace a crap!!!!! Sorry!!!!

No! Mine was vacuum packed, so I opened it carefully and poured it into another (larger) container, crumbling it up as I "poured" it. It's been fine!

I also had the same problem, had to transfer the entire container to a larger container. I will not buy this brand again, it is very strong and you just can't keep it sealed in the container it came in. I ended up throwing it all out.

It's just a powder and I keep in the cupboard. Most of my dry products that I don't use often I put the whole box in a ziploc bag. Seems to be fine.

I have had citrulline clump on me many times, and it's always been fine. I think it's probably because of the pouch that it's stored/shipped in. Other brands I've had clump after a while as well. Perhaps it's the malic acid (malate)in it that makes it stick.

I never actually measured the amount I put in. I fill them up and pour some out. Sometimes the balls crack, but I've never had one crack apart. I use filtered water. Maybe that might make a difference.

You can either leave it attached to use next time, or remove it and let the contents come out...just make sure you are pointing it away from you if you unscrew the can.

It sounds like you may have switched the "ice" end of the ball with the "ice cream" end of the ball. The ice cream should go inside the aluminum can while the ice and rock salt go outside the can.
