FAQs

In order for the stones to have their best and strongest effect, they need to be activating in a container (ideally glass) for 2 days. What we recommend is filling your water bottle with Water + Stone water that has been activating in a separate container. One with a spigot is ideal, as it makes filling up bottles and cups easy.

Yes! Absolutely. The only thing to remember is that your stones need to be washed with hot water every week for ideal activation.

For ideal activated water the stones must sit for two days. It’s highly recommended that a spigot is used as you want to dispense the water that sits slightly above the stones, 1 - 2” inches above. The reason being is that the stones have a filtration component and can pull down any heavy metals, bacteria, and harmful particles often found in modern water. Of course, if you are activating already filtered water this is not as important. But the spigot certainly makes it easier to dispense the water. It's also important that any breakage or sediment from the stones is not ingested frequently, and filtering the water slightly above the bottom will prevent this.

Besides activating water, the stones also absorb any harmful particles, bacteria and pollutants that can be found in modern water. Cleaning them weekly removes these particles.
Cleaning your container removes anything that has collected at the bottom where your stones sit.

We highly recommend using a glass dispenser. Here are a few reasons why
1. Glass is the safest material to hold water in. Unlike plastics and metals, there is absolutely no risk in contaminating your water with heavy metals or BPAs, PVCs, lead and more.
2. Exposing your water to natural sunlight adds an additional way for the water to activate, bringing it to life.
3. You get to see your stones, in all their beauty, working for you and your health.

Everyone is different. For me personally, it took around 3 weeks of drinking the water to really start noticing better hydration. My lips were smoother and my body felt more alert.
There is other research that says it can take 3 months for the cells to really benefit from the silica.
But because the water is structuring, the benefits will be immediate. You just might not feel it right away.

This blog post we made is just a start!

The Power of Opal Flint

Besides having been studied for the past 50 years (see blog post for specifics) and also mentioned in ancient text, I have personally been incredibly healthy since changing my water habit and loving my water with minerals and structuring tools. This is just one way to enhance it, care for it, and give it a new structure.

No. Most flint that is found by rivers or lakes has already absorbed many pollutants. Flint takes hundreds of years to form, so if it’s sitting by a lake or river, it’s had a lot of time to absorb pollution. Adding this to your water can be very harmful. It’s extremely important that you only use flint that has been sourced in chalk cliffs, completely void of any harmful metals or pollutants. Even flint found by crystal clean rivers can already be polluted with natural bacteria.

Absolutely. Drinking a 4-5 cups of natural occurring silica daily will pull heavy metals (like aluminum) from your body via urine. The temporary high concentration of silicic acid in the blood reacts with the aluminium and / or other heavy metals and is then filtered through the kidney and released via urine (yeh!)

Here's a blog post we made with more info on this subject:
Detoxing Aluminium with Silica-Rich Water

Yes. We are currently working on summarizing research that shows this to be true.

Yes! We recommend drinking only two glasses a day for children.

As always, consult your physician first. But we can say that based on our research women who are pregnant or breastfeeding actively deplete their natural stored silica. It’s actually incredibly important that women are supplementing their diet with additional silica during this period in their life.

There are many videos in Russia that show animal owners giving their pets a choice of silica-rich structured water and normal tap water. In ALL the videos, the animals always choose the structured water. The effects that this water has on humans are the exact effects that it has on animals. They will experience the same benefits and in turn be more healthy. Here's a blog post we wrote with more information:
