Musafia humidifier tube

December 5, 2006 at 10:36 PM · Greetings,

that`s interesting. I thought it was a -de-humidifier- so one just leaves it. I guess even cases need instructions these days for the humidity challenged,

Cheers,

I have a Musafia case with the same system, it fits in my sink just fine. In your case I would indeed suggest the bathtub. :) It usually takes five minutes or so to get fully saturated.

I just put mine in the kitchen sink and let it sit for about 3-4 minutes, then wipe it off.

Pieter, we don`t wish to know your personal hygene routines.

Here at home I can use the kitchen sink; I guess I was wondering what I would do while traveling, hotels, halls, etc. But it probably doesn't need to be refilled nearly as often as a Dampit then. Am I right?

When slighty moistened with distilled water and placed in a closed system, the device will maintain a constant humidity, absorbing or realeasing moisture as needed. In that case, you shouldn't saturate it, so that there remains some absorbing capacity. I would send them an e-mail to be sure. (I'd like to know what they say. I have one but never used it since its so wet and rainy where I live that I need to put little packs of silica in the case to dehumidify, but would be nice to know anyway)

December 6, 2006 at 08:22 AM · It almost seems like a shame to use regular water on this wondrous thing.

December 6, 2006 at 06:15 PM · that's why I use vitamin water, Jim.

You might have to turn it halfway through to wet the other end, but there's no need to go through the trouble of finding a large enough sink.

January 7, 2012 at 12:40 AM · That's what I do (the bottle thing). I just use the same water each time and pour a little more in whenever it starts to visibly get lower. No need to fill a sink with water and then waste all the excess...
