How should I prepare the Žadeit stones before using them in my water jug?

Before placing the Žadeit stones into your water container, it is crucial to rinse them thoroughly under running water. This initial cleaning step removes any fine mineral dust or particles that may have accumulated during the manufacturing, packaging, or shipping process. If you skip this step, you might notice a slight cloudiness or sediment in the water during the first few uses, which is not harmful but can be unpleasant. After rinsing, gently pat the stones dry with a clean cloth or allow them to air dry completely before placing them in your jug or carafe. This ensures that the water you prepare is clear and ready for immediate consumption. Regular maintenance involves simply rinsing the stones occasionally to remove any buildup, but the initial thorough rinse is the most important step for a clean start.
