What's all the fuss!This item is a little on the high maintenance side, I have three gun safe's, and I have safe dri in all three. It takes about 1 to 1 1/2 hour's for safe dry to turn back from pink to blue. I have three in each safe and it last three month's, keeping the humidity level at a steady 44%, , and these are all 48 gun safe's. I have a hygrometer in each safe, so I know what the level's are at all time's. This take's about 6 to 7 hour's to do 9 canister's. so again, High Maintenance. I live in Houston Texas so I know a thing or two about humidity. And one thing I do know it beat's having electricity in your gun safe, of any kind. This product is all relevant to how well your safe is sealed! That said, I would still recommend this product.

Does not last between chargesI purchased this product that claims 60 cubic feet. My safe is way less than 60 cubic feet so I thought this would be overkill and last me months. I bought this on August 2nd, and by the 19th the indicator beads are not almost completely pink. It is time to recharge in the next few days.
I live in Phoenix, AZ area we are known for a dry heat. This is our monsoon season, but my house AC is always on and I don't let it get hot in my house. For those that don't know AC actually pulls moisture out as well.
I was trying to save on AC by not buying the dehumidifier rod. I will now end up buying the electric dehumidifier as I do have an outlet in my safe. I will keep this as I didn't think to save the receipt for some a small buy. It will be my backup and will use in the small bedside safe.
I would not recommend.

not great for a full-size safeI have a hygrometer in both my safe and ammunition cabinet. The whole point of moisture control is to get rid of humidity. When I used Damp-Rid in my safe, I'd be able to maintain humidity levels of about 50%. However, with Safe-Dri, I couldn't get it below 65%. The blue crystals would turn pink inside two weeks, over and over. That's crazy, especially when a big bucket of Damp-Rid (which sells for $10), will last about four months.
Another issue is the recharging. The directions say to put it in the oven and then, after you've recharged the crystals, to let them cool inside a Ziplock bag. I'm not sure what Ziplock bag the manufacturer used, but the first time I put the crystals in the Ziplock, it immediately melted the ziplock bag and ruined the tablespoon full of crystals I put in.
This might be great for a handgun safe, but for your long guns, go with Damp-Rid.

No ComplaintsWorks great, don't know why everyone else is complaining. Lid says on just fine and crystals work as product describes.

Great Value!This product is an excellent value! It is easy to recharge, and quick too! We have also found that the product lasts for quite a while before needing a recharge. We have to recharge about every 9 months. When recharging, we dump the beads on a cookie sheet to make the drying go faster. It normally takes about an hour and a half to get the indicator beads back to blue. I do have to say that the directions were a bit confusing at first, it made it sound like ALL of the beads should turn blue, but only the indicator beads turn blue. I also agree with some of the other reviewers about the lid of the container. Perhaps it would be better suited to be a screw on type lid. It never has spilled on us, but could be quite the mess!

Works Great!This product works great so far. Being rechargeable is the best feature. You don't have to worry about buying refills.
I followed instructions exactly, they won't change color at all, still the original white. been in the oven on a cookie sheet for 6 hours total, checking every hour. What gives?

what are the directions for recharging
Asked by: Mr Teddy
The easiest way to recharge Safe Dri 2 is to pour the beads onto a cookie sheet. (do not use any type of non stick spray or grease, the beads will not stick to the pan ) Heat your oven to 250 with the door vented. The pink beads will turn back to blue. This will take up to 3 hours, depending on which size of Safe Dri 2 you have. Sometimes, to speed up the process I will stir the beads with a spoon. Be careful not to burn yourself. Once you see that there are no pink beads left, turn off your oven, leaving the door vented. Let the oven cool for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the cookie sheet (be sure to use an oven glove or potholder) pour the beads into a zip lock bag. Seal the bag, and let the beads cool until they are at room temperature. Once cool pour the beads back into the can, replace the lid, and place back in your safe. Please note the beads start to turn pink at only a 6% saturation, this means that when you see them starting to turn pink they have a long way to go before you need to recharge them. We recommend every 3-6 months depending on how often you get in your safe

Do you remove the lid off can when in oven?
I left the can in my oven for 4 hrs last night @ 250. Maybe only a dozen or two only turned back blue. This is the second time I did this. I purchsed the product only 4 months ago. Do I have some bad beads and if so, can I return to swap out??
Asked by: rootdr007
For better result's use a cookie sheet, this process take's about 1 to 1 1/2 hour's. Just pour the canister out onto cookie sheet, know this is a little more of a hassle to pour back into the canister, I use a plastic one gallon bag, but still is a bit of a hassle. Hope this help's.
