Got this as a gift. Firstly am I supposed to use all the rocks that came with it? Also am I supposed to keep it on 24/7.

Yes use all the salt rocks, arrange & layers them around the the bowl, covering the hole of course. I keep the light on 24/7 due to the moist humidity here in Hawai'i. otherwise the salt lamp will sweat and create a messy wet salty puddle.

I used all the rocks that came with it. Keeping it on 24/7 gives you the most benefit of keeping the air clean.

While the idea of the negative ions is a nice one, the amounts emitted by any of these salt lamps are way too low for any measurable result to be detected. So, use it as a beautiful, pleasing light. Don't use it as an air purifier. I have used three of these lamps in different sizes (two very large ones) and I know for a fact that there is no air purifying effect with them. We DO, however, love them for their glow and leave ours on all the time. If you have difficulty believing what I say, go here http://abreathofreason.com/tag/salt-lamp/

I didn't use all the rocks that came with mine. I arranged them into a pleasing arrangement and just saved the rest. I suppose you can keep it on as long as you want. I'm not convinced of any health or other benefits associated with this. I just like the way it looks.

Yes,use all the salt rocks. We keep ours on all the time. Makes a very soothing night light.

That is up to you. It will look lovely with all the rocks in the bowl and lit up. It will also give you all the health benefits. The bowl will be slightly warm to the touch when lit. You will begin to notice the air will be crisper and cleaner the longer it is on. It will be easier to breathe. The lit bowl is very soothing with all the warmth of pink colors. Just gazing at it will be calming. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine, have one in my office, bedroom, den, and living room.

I suppose you can, but...you really should try the pebbles first. After dark, they look like a collection of boiling crystals. The only fear I would have about the rock is overheating, and the affect that would have. Good luck!

I use a rough stone. Soak in warm water use the product and then let your foot rest for a minute or so before scrubbing one last time with a stone I use it every other day if I get a rough patch.

Good morning Janice,At some Rock Quarry for for away. I had to be humorists at least about it. Anyway I really am not sure and may have been China for it has know markings and I trashed the papers on it. I do know it is a work of art and if you buy it that sucker is heavy so best call a crane company for assistance. If your going to leave it in one place you will be all right but moving it around may get old quick. We use it for setting our crock pot and Dehydrator on that reaches temperature of up to 400 degrees. It is so far well worth the money and sure you will like it. Hope this info helped.

Just wondering if you tried this and how it looks? I was thinking of sprinkling some around under the bottom of my logs on top of the rocks it came with.

All the rocks are intended for 1 batch. I was able to go out and find extras and add them to the same batch as I still had some room left. I found that after adding the rocks I had only filled it 1/2 full and the instructions stated 3/4 full so I added some more.

You don't have to. But I highly recommend it. I feel it gives you a better edge and keeps the stone from loading up.

There are a number of youtube videos that demonstrate how to use a stone like this. None of them are really wrong so pick one you like and use it. The most important thing is to be consistent. Keep your blade consistently angled and you can't go wrong.

It truly depends on the grow material you plan on using. If your starters are in Rockwell cubes then no water in resevoir. To me it's only used with water if your starters are already rooted, then I would fill it just over the air stones, make sure the stones are covered well and check level daily. Hope this helps, check me out on u tube I teach on there everything u will ever need to know about growing. My channel is mrbigdwc73, hope this helps

I just put it into the base with the water. Make sure to clean and dry it well if not using for while. I used mine for a week, put it away for a month, and it stopped working when I brought it back out again. Good luck!

The granite is probably sealed from the factory. It will not hurt it even if it is not sealed. You can still use it.

Probably not a great idea to do that. If it is your only option then put an access cover in the sheet rock so you can put your hand on it every so often. They will run hot eventually when they start reaching their end.

It's best to heat it up at least a half hour before you use it. The stone will be really work at its best. Also if you have a gas stove place the stone on the bottom. If your stove is electric lower the rack to its lowest setting and place the stove there. Your pizza will be nice and crisp.

If you have the two-barrel model (the A-R2), I've had the same problem. I find it helpful to run it with both barrels in place, even if you're only actually using one barrel; I usually fill the barrel I'm not using to actually tumble rocks (the "empty" one) with enough water so that its weight is as close to the weight of the filled barrel (the one containing stones plus grit, or whatever you're tumbling) to help keep barrels from riding along the rails, jumping track, etc. Just a suggestion. And my tumbler came with a parts list for ordering all kinds of things, including replacement barrels--but therockshed.com is a good link.

I'm in the midwest, so I deal with lots of clay. Little rocks aren't an issue; it tilled around rather large rocks without a problem. With hard pack clay, you will have to go over the area a couple times, and be patient, but it can do it. Keep the ballast full or it will jump all over the place! I agree with the previous comment about tree roots; those are the real problem. Very annoying, but even then, you can get through it.

In the summer, I lay the rocks outside in the sun to heat up. Otherwise, I put them in a stone oven which is similar to a crock pot.
