Why does it taste like ther are fine grain/sand particles when diluting in water.

I'd say off hand because of the probolis & maybe the ginseng. I take it by itself on a teaspoon.

I live in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. We all have individual water wells around here. They water is rich in iron which makes it look brownish but drinkable. In my case I have these filters under the kitchen sink. They filter the iron in my water, plus the salty taste coming from my water softener and the result is good taste water. If it doesn't say in the box that they have "activated alumina" which I don't really what that is, or "filter floride" then....... the filters don't have those features!

It is a powder and could be a littte grainy. You can use cinnamon sprinkle along with the powder in order to improve the taste. Good Luck

In my experience with water that had a moderate level of chlorine, it had removed it well. I've never had any taste make it through the filter other than crisp water.

I had a similar problem but noticed it right away. I unplugged the UV and drained the storage. It tasted better right after. I was told that if you have city water that is chlorinated it somehow effects the inert chlorine molecules and can effect the taste. UV would be better on a well or rain water system. I kept my UV wired in just in case there is a biological contamination in the water supply and I would plug it in and deal with the taste :)

I think the directions said you had to run quite a bit of water when you first replace the filter. We did that and had no problems with the taste. Hope it gets better.

I install my system 2 weeks ago and I have the same problem ( is like a "rubber" taste)... is not the UV unit .Probably is the reverse osmosis unit (first choice) I will by pass this unit to see if the bad taste continue ( or not...)...

I found this: "Dissolved iron and iron bacteria are often causes for metallic-tasting water, and can often be solved with an iron-reduction filter. Learn more about iron in water, how it gets there, and what you can do about it."- http://www.culligan.com/en-us/d/problem-water/. ...SO the bacteria test in this kit could help. Good luck!

If 1ppm solute of unknown identity went in and 59 more came out, I'd bet it's the carbon from the carbon filter. Nothing to worry about. Your water is still absolutely drinkable and mostly pure.

It's usually some sort of distilled water inside. Gel would mean the interior has a semisolid, which isn't the case.

I know what you mean. I don't recall tasting that plastic taste. But I usually have Zip Fizz flavored water in mine.

Tastes the same to me. Could you have a "bad" batch, or perhaps the water is different. Can't say I've notice any difference.

I don't think it tastes. I add it to water with crystal light and I cannot taste it.

I've never experienced that before! :-o That sounds disgusting! I've ordered it online and bought it from Traders here in CO and fortunately did not have that experience! So sorry, AG!!

It taste like sewer water. I know you probably haven't had sewer water before but if you could describe it post drinking, you would describe it as sewer water. You're going to need crystal light lemonade mix to go with it if you want a shot in hell to benefit from it.
