Boveda humidity regulator - replacements

Boveda is not a humidifier or desiccant, it is a true bi-directional humidity control system

The Boveda pack consists of salt, water and a gel solution contained within a water vapor permeable membrane. Inside a closed environment, Boveda maintains a certain level of relative humidity either by releasing or absorbing water vapor and eliminating all possible fluctuations in humidity, ensuring the well-being of your instrument.

• Options normal size:

• Boveda 49% - pack of 4 units

The Standard Wooden Musical Instrument Package is designed to maintain a relative humidity of 49%. Weight: 70 grams.

• Boveda 49% HA High-Absorbency- pack of 4 units

The 49% HA High Absorption variant is designed for humid climates that maintain a high relative humidity, above 50%. Weight: 40 grams.

Most wooden instrument cases have twice as much wood as the instrument itself. All that wood must be moistened, so it is recommended to use it for 7-10 days before placing Boveda 49%.

Specs:

• Insert the replacement Boveda pack into the Boveda fabric holder (included in the Starter Kit and also available separately). Then slide it in and/or around the instrument and close the case. Then Boveda automatically adds and/or absorbs the moisture around the wooden instrument.
• It achieves and maintains a constant relative humidity (RH) range of 45% to 55%, the safe zone for wooden instruments. It uses only pure water and natural salts sealed inside a leak-proof membrane.
• Recommended for most climates. Boveda HA High Absorption is available separately for high humidity climates.
• Maintenance-free for months: Initially, Boveda has a make-up job to do, so your first Boveda won't last as long as subsequent ones. After your first series, Boveda will last for 2-6 months depending on the time of year, your climate and your case. A simple touch test will let you know when it's time to replace the Boveda: it will feel crisp and stiff. When Boveda 49% HA is fully expanded, it's time to replace it.
