He tioata rerekē te tae o te konutai whanariki, he kakara whakarihariha. Ka tauhohe ki ngā waikawa ka puta he hauwai whanariki. He tino kawakore tōna wairewa, nō reira ka mōhiotia hoki ko te kawakore whanariki. Ka whakarewahia e ia te whanariki hei hanga i te konutai polysulfide. He maha ngā hua ahumahi ka puta he māwhero, he parauri-whero, he parauri-kōwhai rānei nā te poke. He waikura, he paitini hoki. Ina pāngia e te hau, ka tere te waikura hei hanga i te konutai thiosulfate. He tino waikura, ko tōna wairewatanga ki te 100 karamu o te wai ko te 15.4 karamu (i te 10°C) me te 57.3 karamu (i te 90°C). He paku wairewa ki te etanoru, ā, kāore e wairewa ki te etera.

He rauemi mata kua tīpakohia he kounga teitei, he tino mana whakahaere kounga puta noa i te tukanga whakaputa, kia mau ai te kounga pumau mō ia puranga o te konutai whanariki.
