    I use a large bowl type tupper with a smaller one in the bottom with distilled water in it. I took an old refrigerator grate and cut it to fit over the lower (water holding) bowl and lay the Bovedas on that. I have had 10-12 in at one time but it takes longer to recharge. Some say you can put them in or on water but I never make contact. I pull when I start to feel chunks and stick them in to recharge. I flip them every day or two and "massage" them to mix the liquid and chunks around and get them to dissolve. I pull them out when they look good and the chunks are gone but I don't know that they are exact to the RH that's on the pack. My guess would be they lose a little over time so I don't worry too much about it, but the short answer to the original question is hell yeah. I've got packs 3-4 years old and have no intention of changing them out yet.

    Recall having read of "Brown Water' recharing
    Packs are put directly into the distilled water.
    Tho the water will darken the packs will recharge.
    No idea how much time the recharging would take, nor how well this method might work.
    Perhaps some fellow Cigarbum may've tried this.

    have never tried direct water contact or submerging them in water. Use an old sherbet container and wet a sponge and do two packs at a time. recharging the sponge when it gets dry , takes some time but packs plump back up. would be afraid if the packs get wet that they would eventually break apart and not hold the crystals
