Safe Dehumidifier Desiccant
Where can I find silica desiccants by the pound?
My apartment gets really humid and sticky during the summer, and I'm looking around for places that sell silica gel desiccants (the little bead packets you find in new shoes and purses that absorb moisture and prevent mold) by the pound.
I don't want my energy bill to go up, so I don't want to buy a dehumidifier. I want something non-toxic, and from my research so far, silica gel is one of the safest.
But where can I buy it by the pound? From the Web sites I've seen, I'd have to buy thousands of those little packets, and they're sold wholesale.
If anyone knows where I can find it, or knows of a better natural humidity controller, please let me know. Thanks.
The Instigator: HAHAHA! I majored in journalism. And my mom always nagged us whenever we spoke incorrectly. (Sometimes we'd do it on purpose to rile her up.)
the cheapest natural dehumidifier is fresh air, as long as it's not saturated.
you'd need too many of those packets to absorb much. and silica is a carcinogen.

| | Ebac 45 Pint Desiccant Dehumidifier $1999 Lower humidity and prevent corrosion and mold growth with the Ebac 45 Pint Desiccant Dehumidifier (DD200). The smallest range of desiccant dehumidifiers by the manufacturer, the DD series features a compact, lightweight design intended for easy transportation and use in space-restricted areas. With a patented PPS Rotor, the DD200 unit incorporates 82% active desiccant silica gel to ensure quick drying - and continues operating at temperatures as low as -4° Fahrenheit. The unit incorporates a PTC heater to ensure maximum dryness is reached immediately and maintained constantly while the dehumidifier is in use. Offering a variety of monitoring features and electronic controls, the DD200 comes with an hours run meter that displays running time and an anameter that gauges the unit's drying effectiveness. Spigot connectors allow for quick and easy installation, with anti-vibration rubber feet and carrying handles for easy transport by one person. With a high-grade stainless steel construction, the DD200 is designed to remain rust-free, ensuring high performance and a long life. Unlike condensation and refrigeration-style dehumidifiers, desiccant dehumidifiers use desiccant: a silica gel that is an extremely effective drying agent. Since desiccant-based humidifers do not produce water, they perform exceptionally well when used in cooler climates, or when a low dewpoint, deep drying or low humidity levels are required - and continue to work effectively down to sub zero temperatures. Desiccant dehumidifiers operate by drawing outside air into the dehumidifier, then processing it by passing it over a wheel containing desiccant silica gel - a powerful drying agent. As the air passes over the wheel, any moisture present is absorbed into the silica gel before it leaves the dehumidifier as warm, dry air. As the silica gel wheel continues to rotate, a small segment of air passes through a second phase of regeneration. During this phase, a second air stream is heated to a high temperature before passing over the wheel - releasing moisture into this air stream and exhausting warm, wet regenerated air outside the area being dried.

| | Desiccant $95.59 A desiccant is a hygroscopic substance that induces or sustains a state of dryness (desiccation) in its local vicinity in a moderately wellsealed container. Commonly encountered prepackaged desiccants are solids, and work through absorption or adsorption of water, or a combination of the two. Desiccants for specialized purposes may be in forms other than solid, and may work through other principles, such as chemical bonding of water molecules. Prepackaged desiccant is most commonly used to remove excessive humidity that would normally degrade or even destroy products sensitive to moisture. Drierite,Silica gel, calcium sulfate, calcium chloride, montmorillonite clay, and molecular sieves are commonly used as desiccants. Rice is a common lowtech alternative frequently used, for example, in saltshakers to maintain granularity of tablesalt for effective pouring or shaking. Rice, however, is not a good general purpose desiccant since, unless immersed in an organismhostile environment like pure salt, over time may be eaten by creatures that might in turn contaminate the product that is being preserved.

| | Eva-Dry Mini Dehumidifier $29.95 The Eva-Dry Mini Dehumidifier (E-333) is designed to adsorb moisture from small enclosed areas. This dehumidifier needs no power, just hang the Eva-Dry unit in a closet and it will start to adsorb moisture. There is an indicator window with special moisture meter crystals that change from blue (when dry) to pink (when wet) to indicate when the unit needs to be re-newed . The Eva-Dry mini dehumidifiers will adsorb approximately 6 ounces of moisture. Once the moisture has been adsorbed it cannot leak or spill. This Eva-Dry Dehumidifier uses a silica gel that is odorless, non-toxic and completely safe. When the indicator crystals turns pink it is time to re-new the unit. Simply remove the unit from where it is adsorbing moisture and plug it into a power outlet in a well ventilated area (bathroom with extraction fan, garage, outside, etc.). There is a built-in heater that will warm the crystals allowing them to expand and release the moisture as water vapor into the outside air. It takes about 8-10 hours to completely re-new the unit. When it is completely renewed the indicator crystals will change back to blue. Other key features that make this dessicant dehumidifier a solid choice. The E-333 is easy to Use: This Eva-Dry E-333 dehumidifier is completely maintenance free. Simply turn on and the gel within absorbs moisture. Compact Size Dehumidifier: This mini dehumidifier is designed for use in small spaces. Perfectly suited for places like closets or crawl spaces. |

Accessories and Options for Liberty Safes
A safe built by a reputable manufacturer like Liberty Safes, Browning, or Sentry will provide years and years of effective protection for your valuables, not only from unwanted access to your things from a thief, but also from the catastrophic effects of fire and other natural perils. Modern safes are attractive, affordable, and surprisingly versatile.
My personal favorites are the safes made by Liberty. Since a safe should be more than just a secure box to stash stuff away into, it makes sense to customize it with the accessories you want. Let's take a look at some of the creative and useful accessories available by Liberty safes.
Do you have important back up files from your computer you want to be sure don't get damaged? Do you have family DVDs or other media that you wish to give extra protection to? Then you should consider the Media Cooler as an essential accessory. This little box goes inside your safe to provide that extra layer of protection from damage by fire. It measures about a foot wide by just under a foot high and deep. It is perfect for storing those small electronic media that are so important and that are more easily damaged by heat than paper.
Another accessory by Liberty safes that is an available option is the Storage Cabinet. This is a four drawer storage system with two small top drawers and two large lower drawers. One of the lower drawers has built in brackets for hanging files. The smaller top drawers are perfect for storing smaller items such as coins and jewelry.
If you want to maximize storage space inside the safe, then the Shelving Kit for Storage Cabinet is a good option. This can be factory installed and provides 4 side shelves, a gun rack shelf, a cutout shelf and shelf covers.
Liberty Safes are reasonably sealed, but can still be just as susceptible to unwanted internal moisture as any other safe that exists in our atmosphere. So, one solution you may want to use is a Desiccant. A desiccant is a hygroscopic substance that absorbs excess moisture in the safe. It is reusable and helps sustain dryness. And everyone knows what an enemy to paper, metal, and other materials moisture can be. Liberty also offers electric dehumidifiers that serve the same purpose.
Other accessories available for Liberty Safes include:
- fluorescent interior lights
- electronic locks to replace the combination or key lock
- an anchoring kit for securing the safe to the floor
- cleaning kits that allows you to clean your safe without scratching the quality exterior finish
- specially designed pistol holders that offer both protection and convenience
- paint touch-up for matching your safe's high gloss finish
But my personal favorite accessory is the Door-Mounted Pistol Pocket. This attaches to the inside of the door and allows safe and protected holstering for 8 to 16 handguns.
Owning a quality gun safe from a manufacturer like Liberty Safes is perhaps one of the smartest purchases a business or home owner can make. The peace of mind that comes from knowing that your guns and other valuables are protected is just one of the important benefits that safe ownership provides. And, with the wide selection of useful accessories available, you can be sure that your safe is customized to give you just what you want and need.
