Planet Waves Auto Humidity Control System
From Planet Waves
Planet Waves, in collaboration with Humidipak, brings you the first two-way humidity control that maintains a constant 45% relative humidity level. The patented Planet Waves Humidipak completely eliminates all the guesswork and anxiety of maintaining your instrument's proper humidity level. No more guessing if or when to refill the humidifier and worrying about drips or mess. Unlike all refillable humidifiers, the Humidipak provides true "two-way" purified humidity control since it adds or depletes moisture only as needed to maintain 45% RH - the ideal climate for wooden instruments.

NEW & IMPROVED Humdipaks DON"T Leak!
I just want everyone to know that since 2008, Planet Waves has been making these NEW & IMPROVED Humidipaks! Look at the red sticker on the box. Don't judge this product by the OLD version! The New & Improved Humidipaks being offered here on Amazon contain a semi-solid gel and DO NOT LEAK! I have these NEW Humidipaks and they are great! I still recommend getting an Oasis Hygrometer for use inside of the guitar case. Then, only use your humidification system until the humidity is between 45-55%. Leaving any humidification system, (this includes Dampit, Oasis, etc.), inside of the guitar without checking can lead to over humidification. I got this advice for the seasoned luthiers at C.F. Martin Guitar! I think they know what they are talking about.
leakage!
I purchased this product after seeing it reviewed by Bob Taylor of Taylor Guitars. It seemed like a great long term solution for keeping my two Taylors humidified properly. After using the system for several months, I removed it after seeing several less than complimentary reviews in various places. At that time I detected leakage from the pouch inserts. I decided not to risk damage to my guitars and threw out the entire system. Went back to dampits and a remote humidity sensor. A bit more work intensive but much better peace of mind.
Humidipak--It's The Best
Humidipak works! It is easy and simple to use. If you want to be worry free, start using this product. The only reason I rated it a 4 is the expense but if you spent $2800.00 or more on your guitar like I did, you won't fuss too much about the price. I have been playing for over 50 years and I have never seen anything work better. J. Dunn, North Carolina
