Well honestly, the whole procedure including balancing ratio's took me about and hour and a half. I wasn't about to pay the shipping cost back to Amazon to exchange the item. I just wanted a beautiful Lava Lite and now I have one! So all in all I'm happy to have learned the procedure. Full cost of repair was about $1.85. :)<br />

Hello Everyone...New here and I just wanted to relay the solution I found and my personal notes to it. I recently received a Lava Lite from my daughter for Xmas from Amazon. The water was quite cloudy and I don't have the patience to do the cycling procedure. I used the following procedure from <b><a href="http://www.moltenmeditation.com" target="_blank">http://www.moltenmeditation.com</a></b>/lava.htm.

Hello Everyone...New here and I just wanted to relay the solution I found and my personal notes to it. I recently received a Lava Lite from my daughter for Xmas from Amazon. The water was quite cloudy and I don't have the patience to do the cycling procedure. I used the following procedure from <b><a href="http://www.moltenmeditation.com" target="_blank">http://www.moltenmeditation.com</a></b>/lava.htm. Here are my personal notes and the procedure worked great! I now have crystal clear water with blue lava following beautifully now. Here are my notes:<br />
Notes for refurbishing Lava Lite:<br />
<br />
a) Cool down lamp so all wax is hard and in the bottom of the lamp.<br />
b) Remove cap, and slowly pour out all the cloudy liquid<br />
c) Refill bottle with cool water rinsing multiple times (5-7). Note: Let the water flow<br />
slowly down the side of the bottle not directly on top of the wax lava.<br />
d) After you've completed the rinses fill the bottle with clean clear water up to 2 1/2 " below the top of<br />
bottle<br />
e) Add 3 small drops of clear dish detergent<br />
<br />
I used a Pyrex measuring cup and filled it with 8oz of clean warm water. Add 4 tablespoons of Epsom salt to the water and stir vigorously until all salt is diluted into the water, and let water cool down to room temperature. Use an eye dropper to extract the mixture and slowly add the salt solution to the lava lamp (gently down the sides of the bottle). Around 13-15 halfway full droppers seemed to do the trick. Note: You want to add just enough solution to cause the lava to flow up to the top of the bottle. Once you get the balancing ratio correct replace the top cap.<br />

I ended up having to do "surgery" on both of the new ones I bought for gifts. :/ After remixing the liquid solution, it took me nearly a month to get the density / balance <i>just right</i> but now they are fine. They were looking great just in time to give them away. What an ordeal tho. I wish I had known about Gookits sooner.

People should not have to go to these great lenghts to get a working product that you pay good money for. Even filtering is a bit much in my opinion.

Boxes are shipped and sorted by machine. No machine can read if the box is labeled "fragile", "glass", "this side up" or "handle with care".<br />

The UPS driver carrying your package up the driveway was the longest it was touched by human hands.<br />

Good article on how to pack fragile items for the real world:…

The vintage lamp that I had bought on Ebay 2-3 weeks ago is now clear due to your "cycling" advice! Yay! I even bumped it by mistake at one point. I was sure I was going to have to pry it open. WHEW!
