Bad Prime?

[vampie]

You know, I've never really bother looking into my water conditioner's containers, but I did notice today that a black powder is at the bottom of my Prime bottle, and it smells sorta like ham. Is this normal?

Suppose to smell like rotten eggs, sulfur like.

Hmmm...ham smells a lot different than sulfur. I would expect something is wrong, especially with sediment at the bottom. I would get a new bottle...

I don't use Prime myself, but I have heard that the smell is rather unpleasant (and not like ham-unpleasant ).

Depending on how old the bottle is, and how much sediment is on the bottom, I'd probably just give the bottle a good shake.

I usually give the bottle a quick shake, it can look a little dark at the bottom........

i do the same. if your worried then dont use it. i have had prime for a year or two and never had any problem.

I believe on the bottle it says the smell and dark particles are normal.

I've noticed a darkish/grey film on the bottom of even new bottles. I've never had a problem. The smell is there to wake you up, so you don't fall asleep and siphon all the water on your floor :silly:

I wish my bottle smelled like ham, mine smells like dog crap. I bought a new bottle last weekend and it doesn't smell at all so maybe my old bottle was .. old.

Nevermind the ham claim, I took a longer sniff at it. It's sort of like a mixture of my foot and cheap olive loaf.

I guess nothing's wrong with it then. Bottle is pretty new, I got it about two weeks ago.
