When it's time to recharge - spread the beads out on a paper towel, and spray them generously with distilled water (you'll hear them cracking on popping - and some may fracture). You can pick up a small sprayer at a local craft store for about a buck. Load them back up into the tube and close the end. Whallahhh!!!

This helps. I've just been spraying the tube and turning it. Most of the water probably isn't reaching the inner beads. Thank you inner bead master.
