Anyone ever get a bottle like this? First time I've seen this before.
This bottle came from big als. I have about 6 more from them I hope they aren't all like that.

Are the black specks floating throughout the solution? If you think something is wrong you might want to call Big Al's.

[peterhql]

Yea throughout the whole bottle. I'm gonna check my other bottles tonight. If they are all like that I'm gonna call them.

[mmorris]

It might be wise to call them before you open the other bottles. See what they have to say first.

[hedut]

there is nothing wrong cause I use to have like that. I buy big gallon every time I open something like black mix with prime:p:p. but again like Martha said " call will be wise" :D:D

I've had that many times as well with no negative affects...Bill

When in doubt, I always check with the manufacturer - according to Seachem's website:

"Prime®has a very distinct odor that is similar to sulfur which is completely normal. Also, the presence of small black specks is normal."

If the small black specks are normal, why don't all of our bottles have them?

[ifixoldhouses]

I see specks in mine all the time

[peterhql]

Guess It's alright then, this is the first time I've come across it. I've been using it for almost a year now. Black specks sounds like im throwing dirt in the water, lol.

Thanks for the response everyone.

I have the specks in mine

That happened with some prime I have in a small bottle on a sunny kitchen windowsill- I keep it there for sponge filter cleaning. The stuff down in my cellar, where it's cool and dark, hasn't done that...

Either way, it still seems to work just fine...

+1 but using Safe now.

I have used Prime for maybe five-six years , buy it in gallons . Never I have seen any black spots in the cap . After reading this I opened the jar , look at the cap and is very clean, pure white , looked inside and saw black dot like particles on the bottom of the gallon jar . I guess I have had them there all along but never been aware . I have never had any problems and still believe Prime to be the best water conditioner available .
I might look at SAFE based on economics !

Also you are supposed to shake the bottle well before each use, so if you have black specks just on the bottom, you may not be shaking enough. I have never seen the black specks yet, but some bottles of Prime smell a lot worse than others, why that would be I don't know.

Safe is very economic and I will continue to use it Roberto but it STINKS!!! I dont really mind but its pretty overpowering. It doesn't smell once water hits it but the container smell is dreadful! LOL


Take care my friend,
