Info on this water gel/beads?

The rh beads are formulated in such a way that the moisture release/absorption is controlled to maintain a target rh%. The beads also function in two directions, i.e. pull moisture out of the air, and release it into the air.........I think this is the difference.

Anybody know how long to keep a pillow in a humi? Many places say that they are supposed to be tossed after a single stint in a travel humi, but does anybody have a time-table for how long a single one will last?

Keep reusing it until it fails. I have some gel jars in my cooler, the same stuff in the pillows, and they say there are good for a couple of months or one recharge.

I've recharged them literally dozens of times and they are at least 2 1/2 years old.

Thanks for clearing that up, I guess I should've read the thread I dug up from google more as well. It mentions something similar. The tubes from heartfelt seem like what I am going to order tomorrow. Thanks for the response.

I threw a water pillow in with my 858s and had it in a airtight container for a couple days now, I threw in one of my many accurite therms/humidity in to see what the reading was I got a reading about 90%.. I know these meters are probably alittle off... but that seems like a high reading?
