It's a must-have item that every gun owner should have: A good quality dehumidifier for gun safes.Here's an example of a low-cost chemical based dehumidifier.
Hydrosorbent Dehumidifiers Silica Gel Dehumidifier Desiccant 750 Gram Orange NO Cobalt (II) Chloride
Let's look at some details.
This gun safe dehumidifier unit has high-quality orange bead silica gel contained in a can made of steel. It measures 4" x 6", pretty close to the size of a coffee can or something similar.
The 750-gram dehumidifier unit for gun safes has quite a good capacity. It's capable of protecting about 57 cubic feet of enclosed space.
One small detail that I really like is the built-in indicator that changes color from orange to clear which signals that it's time to 'reactivate' the dehumidifier for gun safes.
Reactivating the dehumidifier is easy! Simply place it in any oven. Once the indicator color changes back to orange you done. That's it! Peace of cake.
One more thing: This gun safe dehumidifier will last you a lifetime. It doesn't wear out at all. So for less than 40 bucks a pretty good investment that will keep moisture out of your gun safe and you don't have to worry about getting rust spots on your valuable hand- or long guns.
By the way, the canister does NOT contain Cobalt II Chloride.
