Eva-Dry Renewable Mini-Dehumidifier
Gun Safe Desiccator
The The Eva-Dry™ Renewable Mini-Dehumidifier has been designed to absorb moisture from small enclosed areas such as a gun safe. It will help protect guns and other valuables from the damaging effects of moisture including mold, mildew and rust. It is 100% renewable and needs no power to operate. Hang the Eva-Dry™ unit in a gun safe, or other small enclosed space, and it will start to absorb moisture. It uses a specially engineered crystallized silica gel desiccant that is odorless, non-toxic and completely safe.
Moisture Indicator
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 “renewed”. The unit will absorb approximately 4-6 ounces of moisture. Depending on humidity levels this should take approx. 3-6 weeks in a large closet, but will take much longer in a gun safe. Once the moisture has been absorbed it cannot leak or spill.
How To "Re-New"
The difference between the Eva-Dry™ and other desiccant canisters it in how easy it is to "renew". Simply remove the unit from where it is absorbing moisture and plug it into a power outlet in a well ventilated area (patio, garage, outside area, etc.) A built-in heater warms the crystals allowing them to expand and release the moisture into the air as water vapor. 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. The unit is brand new again and ready to absorb another 4-6 ounces of moisture.
Do I need an Eva-Dry™ in my gun safe?
Q: My gun safe already has a GoldenRod® heating element. Why do I need an Eva-Dry™?
A: A heating element only serves to create air circulation and keep the temperature above the point at which the moisture will condense. But it can't remove moisture from the air.
Q: Which is better, a GoldenRod® or an Eva-Dry™?
A: The best option is to use both a GoldenRod® and an Eva-Dry™. The GoldenRod® creates air circulation and the Eva-Dry™ absorbs moisture from the circulating air. The result is better than either unit can achieve alone!
Q: Where is the best location to place an Eva-Dry™ in my gun safe?
A: Always place the Eva-Dry™, or any desiccant canister, at the top of your gun safe. This may seem backwards of logic, but moist air is actually less dense than dry air, so it tends to rise.
Lifetime
The crystals will remain active for 10 years if used correctly and is covered by a 5 year limited manufactures warranty.
