I worked my way through a half dozen of these packs, and my last one was getting crunchy. I was about to order more when I thought to look whether they can be recharged. Turns out that's pretty easy. I know these are cheap, but so am I, lol.

I'm kicking myself that I'd already thrown away all but 2. But for now, 2 is enough- one with my reeds, and one waiting in the recharge tank pictured, sitting on a top shelf in my office. I've swapped them 3 or 4 times now as needed every month or 2- and the recharged one is always good as new. I have no idea how many cycles this will work, but if I ever have to buy another 5 or 10, they'll probably last longer than me.

That's about a half inch of tap water in the outer box, and the packet in the inner open box floating on the water. Water never touches the packet directly. Keep it firmly sealed up. Replenish the water as needed when you swap.
