Why does my Power/Recovery Stick turn the water cloudy?
Updated
by Graeme
The Power Stick employs bioceramic balls that releases minerals to the water.
The primary component of the bioceramic balls in the Power Stick is calcium. The cloudiness is caused by over-boiling of the stick in water. The high temperature can damage the calcium coating of the bioceramic balls resulting in calcium solids dispersed in the water. We recommend only a short immersion of the Power Stick in boiling water for sanitation of less than one minute. The calcium solids that makes the water cloudy are not harmful for ingestion. However, we do not recommend prolonged use of a Power Stick that causes cloudiness. Please obtain a new Power Stick at your earliest convenience.
