How long does it take to start working? My safe was 62% before. It has been inside for 7hrs and now its only 58% humidity. 48gun safe.

I would say you need more than one, I use 3 always sometimes 4 in high humidity times, I can't bring myself to use a plugin in my safe just don't feel comfortable but it might be a better solution for you.Thanks for the info on the hydrometer.

It's already working as you can see, but it's a slow process. This is a passive process....not like a powered dehumidifier that circulates the air through the unit with a fan. 4% reduction in a handful of hours is pretty quick for this small a unit.

Should work quickly but I use 3 inside by Big Horn and they seem to keep it dry even here is humid Florida. I rotate them to dry out and it usually takes about four hours to get back to a blue crystal stage. I don't use a hydrometer so couldn't tell you the actual humidity level but everything seems nice and dry.

In our small safe we are averaging about three months. Live in South Central Texas, so not a lot of humidity.

If you do put gun or ammo in the safe be sure an add something to absorb the moisture. They have so many things on the market these days i wont list them out. Any time you have a water proof safe its almost guaranteed to build up condensation on the inside due to the combination of ambient temperature changes and being air tight.

dear God return it if you can!!! I keep mine on 50-55% humidity. Not a temp. but a percentage of humidity. bad designed product, I exchanged mine 3 times in the last 3 years at home depot.....

It takes longer than 2 hours, I bought a very cheap humidity/thermometer and it showed that it took about 8 hours to show a difference and 24 hours to reach max efficiency. I keep it on 24/7 and it works well. I have two, one for the bedroom and a bigger one for the house.

Yes, we had the instructions in the safe for several weeks, and they were very limp and damp afterwards. We had silica packets and everything. Thank goodness we hadn't stored anything else in there yet! We are not keeping it.

I have run this dehumidifier since I received in 24 hrs a day. Sometimes it needs to be emptied once every 2 days and other times it will run for a couple of weeks before it needs to be emptied. It has an auto shut off, so we really don't pay any attention to it until we notice it is not running. I am sure it just depends on how much moisture you have where you are running it. We live in a 5th wheel camper and use it to keep the moisture off the walls when the heat is on. It is just what we need.

Probably 6-12 hours, depending on temp and humidity. I installed it at night in my garage (around 9pm) and it was cured/dry the next morning. It was in late April and it was a cool, non-humid night too. I'm willing to bet it would be "set" within 2-4hrs with decent circulation and it seemed to dry fairly quickly when I was applying it so it may take even less time than that.

That all depends on the ambient temperature and how much product is inside. But I think you are safe for at least 24 hours.

really depends on the safe. If it is a water proof safe then it will last a very long time due to the air sealing. If not then it depends on the humidity and how air tight the safe is. in a very humid climate it's lasts for about two weeks with constant exposure to air, so in a poorly sealed safe it will probably last about a month on the low side to maybe two.

There should be an evident change in temperature no longer than 30 minutes after activation. Please try a higher temperature setting during the next use. If there is no change in temperature, please contact us!

Hi, I think it also depends on if you just have it on for humidity or if you have it on as diffuser. I have never had it 10/12 hours or if I did, very rarely. I had a regular diffuser that I bought not from amazon and that one truly lasts. its called the premium whisper diffuser off abundanthealth. This one is ok, but isn't exactly how I would have wanted it to work. takes more ti fill and clean where as the other one I had was quite a sinch. Anyway, sometimes the wate lasts a bit longer than 3 hours, but rarely the 10/12 hours. Maybe I am doing something wrong on my end. Hope I helped some.

I use this in a gun safe at about 70 deg. But I tested it from about +30 to about +100 degrees and it was right on. Maybe someone can help more.

You want to avoid this particular safe... It has to be opened every 2 weeks for 30 minutes to keep the moisture out. The company will even tell you this. I kept mine because it's a pain to return anything with Amazon.

HI, this means that your valuables inside this fire chest should be safe for approx 1/2 hour depending on the intensity of the fire. Hope that helps!

Not sure but would assume a very long time as its shelflife is dependent upon moisture, a locked safe is probably sealed very tight with little or no moisture.

I can't give you an exact time length ... However, I can tell you that the batteries in mine have lasted for 15 months with moderate use of the safe each month. The safe will alert me when the batteries are getting low and need to be replaced ... but as a rule - I replaced them in battery sensitive equipment every 18 months regardless - if not sooner (depending on use.) Hope this helps.
