NOTE
Standard cooking will turn the beads yellow in color. 
Open flame cooking will cause the beads to blacken. 
Neither affects the performance of the beads. 
CAUTION
To prevent damage to filter media, do not wash 
second stage filters in detergents that contain 
hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide or potassium 
hydroxide.
