Totally depends on the size of the "container" and the amount of beads.

This is actually the way I initially charge my beads. When seasoning a new humi, I put ample amounts of DW inside for a few days. Once the humi spikes up to around 80% or so, I throw the beads in to take it down to 65%. Once done, the beads are good to go for a couple months.
