Beads in a winador
Options
I'm working on getting my wineador up and running. The problem is my beads do not seem to be absorbing enough moisture. I currently have about a 1/2 pound of beads in the wine cooler with a small dish of distlilled water. the have been their for a few days and the humidity is still under 60%. I live in a very dry climate. Is there a better way to charge the beads then this? I also only have one cedar tray for now (more coming). any suggestions would be appreciated.

pour distilled water directly on them.
ity may crack them if you do it way too fast but this will not hurt the humidity controlling properties of the beads.

You can also spray them with a bottle set on a "mist" setting.

+1. I use 2 pounds of beads in a four foot coolerdor. I think they are about the same capacity as one of those wine fridges. I leave a bottle of distilled water girht in the cooler and just remove the lid for a day or two when the RH drops to the minimum range of the beads. This works to maintain my beads now that they have been set up.sightunseen:You can also spray them with a bottle set on a "mist" setting. -
Also, make sure you're not opening the coolerdor more than once a day, if not less - every time you open it, you lose all your humidity, so the dish/beads need to pull double duty to compensate

thanks I'll try that and check them tomorrow
