how do you un-clump the gatorade powder? Mine seems to have formed a massive hard cylinder perhaps due to moisture.

If its near the bottom I pour warm water right into the container to dissolve it, this makes a super concentrate which you can dilute as you like.

Could experiment and try what you do with brown sugar... place a very small piece of bread in there and wait. Next morning you should have it unclumped.

(1) You can pour off any loose powder into another container, then put the lid back on the original container and shake it repeatedly in order to pulverize the clump into powder. (2) If there's no loose powder at all, you can dig at the clump with a steel-tined fork in order to break it down into powder. (3) You could use a drill with a clean bit to break the clump down into powder and then do the straining off and container-shaking to break it down further. (4) I ordered another container of Gatorade Blue recently and it was fine. I don't know if it came from the shipper who sent me my damaged one.

I have not been able to un-clump damp powder. The trick is to keep the moisture out, I fill a smaller container and work from that until it is empty then refill. That limits the moisture in the larger container

Good question Dawn.. The GA in SuperGrow was a strong concentration and worked well once I knew how to use it.. The one problem I had was that the powder was not water soluble and had to be dissolved in a couple drops of rubbing alcohol before mixing with water or it would make a snow globe of clumps that would not dissolve. I wasted half the container before I found out about dissolving the powder in alcohol first on a forum.. The next time I buy I'm looking for the words "water soluble"...

Put the desired amount of room temperature water in your bottle and add the two scoops (for 4 oz. of water) on top. Put the bottle top back on and shake vigorously back and forth. Never had a problem with this dissolving or clumping. It looks like it's clumped when you add it to the water, but shaking vigorously changes that. Hope this helps.

Scrape off the areas that are gooey and wet then mix again and re pour. I found that it really helped when I mixed it up on a scale so I had the same amount of both in weight. Had no problems after that. Also I was told by the company to mix well in a disposable container for exactly a minute then pour in a new container and mix for another whole minute with a new mixing stick. Throw both containers away after that.

It sounds like you have a defective bottle. It should easily squeeze out of the bottle.

Pry it off is best, puncture it if you have to. Need a good tight seal for re-use as it evaporates readily.

It's powdered, not granulated and should dissolve fine. One of mine opened in the bottle and just the bit of powder on the cap tastes really horrible. I can't image trying to drink a liquid made from it.

I found there are tons of YouTube videos that show you step by step how to take it apart and clean it. Mine wasn't working at all - the toggle had no resistance and wouldn't permit the airflow to pass through the brush. My husband watched the video and took it apart and put it back together again. Tedious but definitely something anyone can repair. Not sure if your problem is from dried makeup or perhaps a Non-Dinair product, but I'm sure it can be corrected. Good luck!

I agree with other advice given here--I would just just use the hard water powder packets. They do work wonders.

To avoid clumping when you get the bottle home open it and transfer contents into small Tupperware containers and put them in the freezer. I have done this 3 times and it no longer clumps.

Should be in a powder form. Try manually breaking it down before adding to solution.

Take off the cartridge. When you charge, be sure to shake hard and vigorously... then remove and replace cap. I leave the cap in a drawer anyway. It is only for cosmetics and can be left off Hope you like. I use mine all of the time. When you fill with water, be sure it is cool. Saves a lot of money versus club soda or seltzer. Enjoy!

Tammy, I figured out after that happened to me was to get the motor running and pour the mixture in using the slot in the top. I haven't had any more trouble with it sticking. It does seem to freeze up quicker than the time it says in the booklet. I scrap it out with a rubber spatula and put it in a container to finish in the freezer. I got a good hint from another web site to put a little acholol ( rum or tequila)in it to keep it from freezing rock hard. Hope this helps

Trying to figure this out myself. I shook it every time I used it and still have thick sediment. What I'm doing now is adding a little water, stirring it with a skewer and storing it upside down. I still love the stuff but it is a hassle. I've read other product reviews and the complaint was it was watered down? So???

Sounds like a question for Dr Drew...but I'll give it a go. Here's what I'd test....Put a bit of WATER in the container and assemble everything, then pump the handle just a FEW times. Then SLOWLY unscrew where the hose connects to the container, does air escape? If not, then either there's an issue with THAT seal, there's an issue with the pump:container seal, or there's an issue with the pump itself. If air does escape, then screw it back on and pump it once. Then unscrew the spray nozzle tip all the way and pull the trigger, does air/water escape? If so, then there was an issue with the nozzle being too tight. If not, then the tube or nozzle are likely clogged and then take an air car with the little included hose and open the trigger then spray the air into the tube to clean out the system, then from the nozzle side. Does this fix it?

There's a scoop. You might have to do a bit of arithmetic depending in the size if your bottle. Also, this stuff seems to dissolve better if you add the powder to the water instead of the other way around. Make sure you stir WELL.

If it is stuck after mixing a drink and letting it dry without cleaning, try soaking in VERY hot water... If the problem is opening after shaking with ice - the issue is due to a vacuum forming inside when the air cools - don't know of a cure except to work it with a twist - possibly opening it after a few shakes will decrease the strength of the vacuum.
