To function, a hydrator requires a bead corresponding to ice that comes from a high place, high enough that it would never melt. When manifested in Shadesmar, the bead begins to emanate cold. It is then inserted into the hydrator. Eventually, mist begins to collect on the prongs and drip down into the basin, producing drinkable water. It takes about an hour to make a small cup.{{book ref|sa3|99}}
 
[[Kaladin]] speculates that the hydrator somehow pulls the water out of the ice through the bead.{{book ref|sa3|99}}Shallan, It'son morethe likely,other howeverhand, is confident that it simply collects moisture from the surrounding air through [[wikipedia:Condensation|condensation]], similar to how a glass of cold drink will start collecting droplets of water on its outside. IfIn sothis setup, the ice bead serves only to cool the metal.{{book ref|sa3|99}}
 
As [[spren]] do not require water, a working hydrator is a clear sign of human presence in Shadesmar.{{book ref|sa3|102}} Spren ships that expect to pick up human passengers will carry them on board.{{book ref|sa3|99}}
