Aqua Cloud was designed to create an environment that is sanitary and safe. Brass musicians, for years, have emptied spit valves on practically every floor surface, creating unclean and unsafe environments. From slipping, to spreading unwanted germs, the condensation that is emptied from spit valves, is never a pleasant or wanted site. We have designed a product that looks stylish, occupies a small space, connects to any music stands or chairs, practically maintenance free, and long lasting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is diatomaceous earth?Diatomaceous earth is a naturally occurring, soft, sedimentary rock that is easily crumbled into a fine white to off-white powder. It is made from the fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled algae. At Aqua Cloud, we utilize diatomaceous earth in our absorbent product due to its exceptional ability to absorb and hold water. This natural material is highly porous and has a large surface area, allowing it to efficiently absorb moisture, making it an ideal component for brass musicians wanting to create cleaner a safer environments.

How often do I need to replace the AquaCloud mat?Depending on the humidity levels where you live, the mat should last for at least one year with occasional cleaning. Due to its ability to absorb moisture effectively, the mat will absorb humidity as well. For drier climates, the mat will have a longer absorbent life with less cleaning.

Can I replace the AquaCloud mat?Aqua Cloud replacement mats can be purchased for $11.99 plus shipping.

What do I need to do if I spill valve oil or other lubricants on the AquaCloud mat?The mat will most likely absorb the oil and in doing so, clog the pores of the mat. It is suggested that you soak the mat in water with light soap and use a light brush to ensure the diatomaceous mat pores are healthy and absorbent.
