Re: Shilala Beads

Gerard, hygros can go flaky, too. I have one in my winador that's driving me nuts. I just put batteries in it and recalibrated it and it's still off by a mile. I'm going to throw it in the...

Re: Shilala Beads

Eric, all you have to do to fix your bags is re-iron the seams using the iron on it's highest setting.
It's super easy.
Use an old tshirt under the bags, NOT a towel. Press and hold for a few...

Re: Shilala Beads

They're designed to work in the bags they're made in.
The fabric is very sheer and durable for the best possible air transfer. The bags are just the right size to take full advantage of the bead's...

Re: Shilala Beads

Brad, I thought he same exact thing up until not too long ago. When I was developing the beads I went and read up on water vapor. In reading, I found out water vapor can carry all kinds of stuff...

Re: Shilala Beads

I had the same question not so long ago. The small part is that evaporated water isn't distilled. It'll carry stuff away with it, to some extent.
That isn't the biggie, though.
If you use tap...

Re: Shilala Beads

I think I get your question now.
Your PH was a typo, you meant RH.
You don't need to "recharge" them at all if they don't need to be. You determine whether or not they need recharged (it's...

Re: Shilala Beads

On the ammonia/PH thing...
To recharge, you use water vapor. That way there is no chance of soiling the surface of the beads. You use distilled water.

The beads trap ammonia via their structure...

Re: Shilala Beads

There's recharging instructions at Michael's site. The link is in my sig.
The beads work via equilibrium, as mentioned.
They hold a vast amount of water as opposed to conventional beads. By way of...

Re: Shilala Beads

I stuck a tiny piece of duct tape on my one on the roof of my travel humi. That worked up until this past weekend. :D
If you stretch the nylons taught, it's kinda like they aren't there. More like...

Re: Shilala Beads

Don't do that, Eric. The beads will fall right through. They're too small for pantyhose. Plus if you put them in a ball, you lose the surface area that's working for you. I tried pantyhose. It makes...

Eric, all you have to do is use an iron. Set it on it's highest setting and fix the seams. When you iron them, you want to lay the bag on a piece of fabric, but NOT a towel.
Press down with the...

Re: Shilala Beads

Not in harmony at all, but they will compliment each other. Dave's will dictate the RH in your humi because there's an RH control additive in the beads. Plus you won't be able to change RH.
There's...

Re: Shilala Beads

Yup.
Dave's beads will work really hard to control the RH to their setpoint though.That creates oddities that are really complicated, but the short answer is "Yup".
It does defeat the flexibility...

If you want to start a thread and ask direct questions, I'll give you straight answers to anything you want to ask, my brother. I'm sure Michael will chime in, too.

Re: Shilala Beads

Lol. You're probably right on the money. I'm quite an egomaniac. :rolleyes:

Like I said, everyone doesn't have to drink the Koolaid. It's okay. If you don't want any part of the beads, that's...

Re: Shilala Beads

It's hard to justify if you're uninformed. Take a minute to look over Michael's website. Read. Get educated.
Honestly, your statement is absolutely 100% incorrect on at least 20 different levels....

Re: Shilala Beads

Just so everyone knows, I invented the beads cause I'm the cheapest bastage on earth. When I did it, it was only cause I needed tons of beads and didn't want to pay the till.
