Basic Components

The Piano Life Saver System is made up of three basic components which work together to control the humidity levels within your piano, maintaining the recommended relative humidity, no matter what the external conditions are.

HUMIDISTAT - this is the brain of the system, which senses whether the wooden parts of your piano are too moist or too dry.

DEHUMIDIFIER - carries moisture away from your piano using air currents when humidity levels rise.

HUMIDIFIER - moisturizes the dry wood of your piano when the humidity drops.

Through a cycling action, the Humidistat is calibrated to create a separate environment within the piano, producing a narrow range of humidity.  When the Humidistat, located less than an inch from your soundboard, senses that the wood is dry it turns on the power on the Humidifier.

Then, when the Humidifier has provided enough moisture to the soundboard, the Humidistat turns off the Humidifier and turns on the power on the Dehumidifier.  The Dehumidifier caries away moisture from the soundboard on air currents until the Humidistat again senses that the soundboard is dry.  The System again switches to the humidifying function.  The cycle continues day after day, year after year, protecting your piano from external conditions.

The PIANO LIFE SAVER SYSTEM comes with a watering system to allow you to keep the Humidifier supplied with water.
