hey, it is silica gel, when wet, pour it in a pan and put it in an oven at @ 250 degrees f for about 2 hrs,and it is reusable. i am a chemist and this is advice for you to save $$$$$.

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Thanks GT! I'll give it a try (with my finger on 911). How many times can you reuse it?

[@gtbirdleg]

@@ThreeStormFitness so you got jokes,lol. i like that. you can use it until it will not absorb moisture. in my lab we used it for up to 10 times.

[@ThreeStormFitness]

@@gtbirdleg oh I got jokes (though most of them only a 13 year old boy would laugh at)! 10 times?! That's great! I'll definitely give it a shot. I have one just about full. Thanks again!

[@jeffu3724]

Excellent. I'm not a chemist, but definitely a geek who lives in Lauderdale and can really use this stuff, despite the constant A/C. Gonna mess around with a few things for this, but glad you rang in !!!! Trying to keep the humidity below 55 or so.

[@synapticflow]

I wish someone could figure out how much the electric bill for this would be against just buying a new damp rid tub. If only they could be dried out in the sun instead. By the way, do you poor the water out first or pour everything into the pan?

[@SuperResa14]

My original intention for this humidifier was to use it for plants that require high moisture levels. After using it in my room, kzbin.infoUgkxtD9aJ2m6GU-X1IChQxjn9l31K1A7Kpwj however, I think that's where it is going to stay in the fall and winter season at least. The increased humidity in my room made the room warmer and more comfortable. I had first ran the humidifier for 4 hours with the timer setting for it. After the first hour, I checked my room and can feel the difference. When the full 4 hours was up, I checked again and noticed that the humidifier was shut off as it is suppose to. The moisture level never seem to get passed 56/57%. I then let it run until all the water is used up, which it wasn't all used up. There are still some left in the base that you are not suppose to add water to. I filled up the water tank all the way again, being careful when removing it from the base. Some left over water may spill out. After putting it back on and setting the unit to auto, I let it operate. It didn't stop running, rather I don't know if it did at any point since I didn't check it regularly, for 24 hours after which the water in the tank ran out. The moisture reading never passed 56/57%, which may be a good thing for me. Being situated right next to my bed, the noise was not very noticeable with the occasional water gurgle from time to time as the unit ran.

[@SaltyPirate71]

The active ingredient in the DampRid bucket is calcium chloride, not silica gel as suggested by the "chemist", "GT birdleg".

[@guillaumevu4301]

you can buy a cheap condense pump for humidifier ($50-$100) and it hook it up to the humidifier. It is very easy to hook up. You just connect the pump to the dehumifier with a PVC pipe or a small hose then the water will be discharged into the pump reservoir then once the water reaches a certain level the pump will empty the water for you.

[@quocvanhthn90]

*We liked it **Fastly.Cool** so much in the basement, we bought a second one for the main level. The amount of moisture it pulls out of the air is astonishing.*

[@KyleJWoodsDarkCastleExtraChann]

I use two small barrel ones in my 10x10 storage unit and they work great! I buy refill material at my local Lowe's and it lasts a long time.

[@panchitabell6249]

Thanks for sharing because it’s been pretty rainy in Philadelphia and my basement is damp and musty so I’m gonna try this out

[@jenme2390]

Wanted to see a review of this. Am thinking about putting one in my storage unit. Thanks for the review. :) Super helpful.

[@charleshines5700]

One thing you can do that may make it work even faster is have a fan in that same room pointed at the DampRid and then the moisture gets absorbed a lot quicker.

[@Tecknut75]

This product works well and it comes in several sizes. It is set and forget. The only time I've experienced a negative is coming into contact with a wet collected product. I had the bag kit and when I removed it when it was filled I stabbed it with a knife and drained the " fluid" into a toilet so it didn't leak into my trash. Only to learn later that it jacked up my pocket knife blade big time. I cleaned it off but the chemicals it collected etchited and it jacked up my knife. Lesson learned! They work well and when full throw them away!!!! And never use them in a gun safe. Just a word to the wise, I sell a ton of them but don't use them with guns or keep safe metal products. Having said that I use them all over my home just don't mess with the collected liquid. Piece. ✌️

[@dalilacunha5287]

About $9.99 at Home Depot as well.

[@daveantley4523]

Great information - thank your for taking the time to share your experiences with this product. Also, you great sense of humor, keep it up.

[@michaelsubhakul3838]

Thanks dude, I'm convinced to try it out now. It rained heavy here in Houston yesterday, and some water got in the car, not too much thankfully. I vacuumed it all out, and I'm hoping I can leave some damprid in there to make sure I can catch the last bit of water that may be in there

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Hope you have good luck with them!

[@beesknees3536]

I got the unscented option at walmart here in Florida for $9.98 same size with the hi-capacity labeling. I'm hoping it helps for my travel trailer. Thanks for the honest feed back I feel a bit more optimistic in trying it out.

My pleasure. Good luck!

[@Sweetchilliheat18]

Sweet man I want to put a lathe in the shed Was worried about moisture & rust You put my mind at enough ease to pull the trigger

[@squaregrouperx]

The active ingredient is Calcium Chloride. You can use Calcium Chloride driveway ice melt to accomplish the same thing at 1/10th the price. (read the ice melt ingredients)

[@coopercooper8406]

I find it hard to believe that those can compare to the dehumidifier, which is removing more water everyday than would fit in those buckets.

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Honestly, I don't really get it either. To be frank though. My old dehumidifier worked a little better...when it broke, I gave these a shot, and have continued using them.

[@janicewebber5584]

I work at a Walmart that's right by an interstate highway. We have a lot of product for RV's so we sell the same size DampRid & it's ten bucks. Great product. 👍

[@virginiasummer2619]

I use these and they are fantastic I use the large pail in a closet that is in a dark room. I use the closet hanging ones also and I use two in each closet in the summer. Lowe’s has the best price btw. We are in the humid South and these control humidity in small areas. We use a dehumidifier in our basement as well.

[@virginiasummer2619]

The price, the tubs are $10 each and the three pack of closet ones are $8.99 at Lowe’s

You can buy smaller ones from a different brand at Dollar Tree for a $1 plus tax. There's only last a month. Cheaper to buy then the one you get ($6 for 6 months). You spend $10 or $30 every 6 months.

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Thanks Kristine! I'll check those out next time I'm in Dollar tree

[@JeremyJamesPrutchick]

I bought one today and I'm wondering if I'm using it properly. It's for a bedroom thay has an air conditioner unit blowing cold air. However, the air is still humidity around 60%. I'm hoping this DampRid can fix that. Should I temporarily turn off the AC?

[@ReptilianLepton]

The AC is already dehumidifying your room - that is simply inherent to how ACs operate. So, turning off the AC would be counterproductive. If the humidity is still on the high end with the AC running you might need to service the AC, for example cleaning the coils or checking the compressor charge. However, 40-60% humidity is within the bounds of acceptable levels for most situations.

[@FroggyTWrite]

fyi, you can add an external condensate pump to most of those portable units. even if you just have to drill a small hole and put a hose in built in drainage tray

[@PrettyGothic333]

Lowe’s has it on clearance now for 8 bucks.

[@hairconnection1]

Management needs to remove the mold that’s a health hazard

How do dispose of this product safely?

[@UncompressedWAVmusic]

Hello I like your video, however your math doesn't add up. You mentioned that you were draining your humidifier every hour or so and you say that the DampRid bucket lasts 6 months. So if your place is that humid you would be using the DampRid bucket at least one a day or several unless you still have your dehumidifier always on and have the DampRid.

[@mulliganstew72]

I bought this & flushed down the toilet two days later. It spilled everywhere. I get better ones from dollar tree… Don’t know why it didn’t come with a filter to prevent spilling, just a widely spaced grating, larger than the white particles.

[@kateajurors8640]

Typically you can bake the moisture out of those beads if it isn't too powdery

[@paulvalentine1483]

It has a scent not a "smell". Smell is a verb.

[@MarcosCruz-xe7vv]

They sell scented and unscented ones.

[@ThreeStormFitness]

Thanks for the tip, Marcos!

Do dehumifers and air purfier both kill mold spores and mold I have mold in my bedroom and I have plug in air purfier also do they both work and are they both worth using

[@infinit3isha]

No. Removing humidity only prevents growth. Doesn't kill mold. Mold just goes inactive at best. Doesn't die. Don't mess around with mold, you can become extremely sick from mold ( I have immune issues I don't think I can ever recover from fully because of it) I have to live my life around mold because how much it effects me after bad exposure

[@DarthStacker]

How do you think it would work on odor absorption?

[@ThreeStormFitness]

I think it helps musty odor control, but that's probably due to the fact that it's knocking down the humidity (aka stopping the source of the musty odor over time) I don't believe it has any direct odor control (if it does, it doesn't always work well. ..like the time I accidentally locked my cat in the gym overnight and he crapped on the floor). Also, damprid makes a separate product for odor absorption, which tells me that it's not one of this product's primary features. Thanks for the question!
