There is a distinct difference in taste and clarity of the water when leaving the beads in longer than 24 hours. I taste tested it both ways (at 24 hours and leaving them in long term). I definitely like the taste much better with removal of the beads after 24 hours versus leaving them in. Also, it would be a good idea to take a meter reading of your water prior to adding the beads and after 24 hours. This was more than a year ago, but, if my memory serves me correctly, my water read 5.8 prior to adding the beads. I didn't meter read the Prill water after leaving the beads in long term. Sasha

Prill Beads We keep drinking the water all day, it says that you can use after 3 hrs. Do you make huge quantities? We make one pitcher at a time but always keep the beads in the water. This is my question: Do you think it is ok to leave the beads in the water all the time? Mary
