What happens to the tint polyethylene beads after you rinse them down the drain? Is it true that the accumulate in aquatic vertebrates because they ar water t

In soaps / cleansers ... and environmental issues. Not to be overlooked are the information. Doctoral student The research work # Parsing and manipulating small particles. Especially Oil particles from contaminated water sources. # Up effects and action to reduce grain Plastic beads in detergents and cleaning due. 1) Insert the plastic can. # Accumulate and affect in vivo. 2) cause # problems in isolation or taken out of the water. And finally 3) impact on the environment. # Ecosystems Until now ... in many cities abroad. Therefore, the control and supervision of the beads Plastic beads you seriously do the same. But ... we have to say ?? On this point I'm really close to us ...... I shall granules. We believe It will help us clean up! But it is not easily lost. But compared to plants that discharge industrial waste out.

No, there has been no color transfer from any of the beads in my daughter's necklace. Usually, I take it off only when she has a bath or goes in the pool, but she has even worn it a couple of times in those situations. I've not seen any color on her clothes or skin.

No, the water is never in contact with plastic. The company fixed that. And, YES, I definitely add 2 drops of liquid, concentrated sea minerals to each glass of water that I drink (Concentrace brand). Otherwise, the body will start leaching minerals from the bones to maintain proper biochemistry.

ive never had one that has lasted over 2 years without somone dropping and brakeing of one of the plastic parts and i have to replace the whole thing.Beads seem to never degrade.Have lots of extras from old ones that are broken.You drop head the end breaks off ever time.(water attach part).Hope this helps.

It is like a static-cling window decoration. It does not leave any residue behind. It's easy to put on an aquarium and to take it off and move it.

this is a good point which I would like to know as I want to get one of these but not if an unhealthy chemical is leaching into the water from heating of the plastic. If anyone knows about this I would love to know. thanks

Just clear tiny plastic beads. You would have to use a fine screen or seive to wash them after litter box use. I can see them getting stuck in between paw pads, swallowed by the cat cleaning his feet, possibly causing a bowel obstruction within a hair ball

No Mine has never had any type of blue beads come out it. I've had it for a year (?)

It is indeed. I contacted the manufacturer; their response was: The polyethylene we use, by its nature, does not contain BPA. We have no recommendations on storing water for any lengthy duration, but obviously that should be avoided for the same reason that water bottles in a grocery store are rotated so that older ones are sold first. Even the most filtered of water will support bacterial growth over time. Plastics are by their nature porous to some extent when compared to other materials such as glass or metal, so oxidation (bacterial growth) can occur over extended periods of time, however the actual length of suitability is all subject to environmental conditions . I hope this information is of assistance. Sincerely, Scepter Corporation Marine Products | International Export

That's odd. I don't recall seeing any beads coming out of my showerhead. Maybe you should exchange it for another one. I love my Rejuvenator. It has not given me any problems at all and the water stream pressure is great. Does not clog - no issues.

Are you sure what you have is white algae, and do you have your fountain where sunlight can reach it? Usually you would find green algae. I'm going to venture a guess as to what you may be seeing is a calcium (hard water) deposit which a vinegar and water solution will remove if used correctly and if you rinse all parts of the fountain really well, neither you or cats or dogs would detect any residual odor on ceramic or stainless steel. If it were plastic then yes; plastic is porous and can be noticeable.

Definitely rinse it out or you'll get a black film on everything in the aquarium. I've tried it both ways and rinsing is definitely the way to go. Also all the good stuff is in every bit of the sand so no worries about losing anything important. I think this is the best substrate I've ever had it looks great and the Cory cats and other fish love to play in it. Good luck with set up.

This is basically as suspension of graphite powder in a organic carrier. Once it is applied, the carrier evaporates leaving behind a thin graphite film. It shouldn't be an issue for pets.

Here is what is said on the Seachem site: "Directions, Rinse before use. Use in a fine mesh filter bag. Each 1 L of Resin treats up to 1,000 gallons for up to six months. Exhaustion of the Resin is indicated by a pronounced discoloration of the beads to dark brown or black. 100ml will treat 100 gallons.

What did you put into the tubes?? I used mine for bead storage, so mine are still as clear as the day I bought them 6 months ago. They are plastic, and so will react with chemicals/paints that are put into them.

I never tested it so I am assuming the UVB passed through since it is a thin plastic and I would have hoped the manufacture did test that. Also I felt it was safer to have a protective barrier between the water and the light tube just in case. UVB does pass though plastics and some glass but may be "diluted" or refracted and depending on the thickness and the clarity of the material it can be blocked completely. Also UVB does dissipate with distance so you need to read the details to ensure it is placed appropriately. Hope this helps....

of course. scientifically it'll evaporate. :) just put them in water once they get small. i dont know how long they will stay full because it all depends on humidity, temperature, sunlight, etc.
