I recently purchased one of these and going to purchase more. The last one I got had little white granules in it that does not disolve, why?

Maybe how you're mixing it. They're calcium granules that may not dissolve, but I mix mine up with very cold 1/2 c milk and use a battery operated small mixer and it makes it thick like a malt. It's my dessert. Instead of ice cream.

I had it happen once in the many months and daily use I have had them. I scrubbed it of, ran it through the dishwasher and it never returned. It was there because I left something it it too long, so you can't blame it on the product.

I have no clue as to why this happened. I have bought this several times and it's always clear! If I were you I would call the 800 number on the container and ask the manufacturer about that.

I'm using the electric blower to clean it once in a while. It surely does collect dust and white color becomes gray!!

I never had a problem with white powder. It is from hard water. I believe it is the minerals in the water.

Possibly try brushing the powder residue with a stiff brush, then vacuuming again. Several repeated efforts might help.

I typically change them around every 3 months. I check my water at least once a month for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, etc., so that gives me an idea if the granules are still working. I hope this helps, I'm certainly not an expert. I also run questions by my local fish store.

I've never had that happen so maybe you got a "bad" one. See if you can exchange it. I LOVE them and rely on them to keep fruit flies out of my house all year round!

I have the same problem. Every time I turned it on, it started moving around and the pulp container came off. I had to turn it off, reassemble and clean the mess. I might have got a deceptive one.

I've only ever used one of these at a time so I've never had that problem. You may want to check with the manufacturer.

It sounds like you may be missing the seal. It's a little round white/clearish piece that is between the lid and and the tip up piece.

Are you saying that they have a new white formula? I did not know. In any case- it does not absorb like the old formula. I use it day and night and this will not work for me. Very sad if this is the new formula. I will look into it on line.

No, I just checked my bottle and have had it in the bathroom for months now and no white flakes. I would get it exchanged if I were you, it sounds like you got a bad bottle. Contact the company and demand they change it out. It is good stuff and lasts a very long time.

Mine have "flakes" that appear on the surface of my drink if I don't wash the ice ball off before using it. I have run the molds through the dishwasher several times, washed in hot water by hand, used vinegar to wash, towel dried them and let them air dry, used tap water, filtered water and bottled water. Nothing works. The ice from my freezer does not have this issue, so it must be the ice balls. I wish I had gone with a different brand.

I bought it as part of my food storage and emergency preparedness plans. I am a Mormon so food storage is part of my life. I have only used it 7-8 times over the past couple of years, but have never noticed a metal powder coming off. That sounds like a manufacturing defect with the finish. It has worked fine every time I used it. If you plan to use it very frequently I might consider one of the electric options or at least buy the motor for this one - I did.

No this is not common. I have had my Venta humidifier for 4 months and replaced the cartridge once and have not had any issues or white dust. I would contact customer support. Good luck.

Mine is also pearly white and it doesn't seem as effective! I am very disappointed. Why do they always change things that work? Very frustrated!
