How Does Boveda Work?
Want to see exactly what makes Bóveda so dynamically different? Read on.
- What It’s Made Of
Based on a well known 100-year old scientific principle called Raoult’s Law, Bóveda consists of a saturated solution of pure water and natural salt that maintains a precise RH in an enclosed environment. - Reverse Osmosis Membrane
Bóveda’s built-in reverse osmosis membrane provides the same type of filtration that’s used in water purification systems by inhibiting the passage of impurities, ensuring that only pure, clean water-vapor passes through the membrane. Reverse osmosis, also known as hyperfiltration, is the finest filtration known. This process allows the removal of particles as small as ions from a solution – and is capable of rejecting bacteria, salts, sugars, proteins, particles, dyes, and other constituents that commonly emit from the refillable-style humidification products.
Purified Water-Vapor is Guaranteed
Bóveda is the only system on the market that can give you water-vapor that’s guaranteed to be pure – without any chance of developing bacteria, mold, mildew and any other impurities that cause potential off-flavors inherent with refillable devices. Your cigars are exposed only to fresh, clean, purified water-vapor. - In Dry Environments
If the humidity inside the humidor starts to fall below the target humidity percentage printed on each Bóveda packet, the saturated salt solution that’s contained within the reverse osmosis membrane will immediately react by giving off purified water-vapor. Bóveda does this naturally, and rapidly so the variation from the target RH stays within a tolerance of +/- 1-2% - In Humid Environments
If the humidity inside the humidor starts to climb above the target humidity percentage printed on the packet, it will immediately absorb excess water-vapor until the humidity is lowered to the exact humidity target on the packet. - Ready To Use
Each Bóveda packet is ready-to-use when you receive it—there’s no activation needed and it’s completely maintenance-free. You don’t cut or tear the packet open and you don’t fill it or refill it with water.
Automatic Replacements
Automatic Bóveda replacements will be mailed to you every 2-months so you’ll never have to worry about remembering when to replace them or worry about running out. Each shipment is your built-in reminder to throw away the old and insert the new.
