Gun Safe Dehumidifier

Gun Safe Dehumidifiers

Most safe owners will keep metals in their safes, such as weapons, jewels, and other valuables. What happens when moisture and metal collide? Corrosion and rust. That’s why a dehumidifier for your gun safe may be necessary.

Types of gun safe dehumidifiers 

Desiccant Bag:

These bags are the most common and cheapest choice. Desiccant bags get the job done without the need for electricity.
 

Rechargeable dehumidifier:

These dehumidifiers are available in a variety of sizes and moisture capacities. These dehumidifier have silica gel. Silica gel is a moisture absorbing substance that removes humidity from the air very well.
 
This type of dehumidifier’s best feature is that it is renewable. When the sensor shows that it has reached moisture capacity, unplug it for the night. It will be ready to dehumidify again in the morning.
 

Electric Dehumidifier:

As long as you have a plug nearby, an electric dehumidifier is a “set it and forget it” choice. Combine an electric dehumidifier with a desiccant and you have a backup plan if the power is out for a while. [1]

Does A Gun Safe Dehumidifier Works?

Gun safe dehumidifiers are usually desiccant dehumidifiers that absorb moisture. They are mini dehumidifiers and are rechargeable. 

Dehumidifiers for gun safes have a compact design. They have moisture absorbers to prevent corrosion. They come with an auto-shutoff and auto-defrost function. They also have an automatic reset function. They are quiet, have a humidistat, and are easy to use. They are also rechargeable.

Where Should I Place A Gun Safe Dehumidifier?

In small spaces such as a safe, the type of dehumidifier used to reduce humidity is as important as where it is placed. Only specific dehumidifiers for safes can be left alone without regular maintenance such as emptying water or installing a drainage hose. 

These small and locked areas often lack direct access to electrical outlets but suffer from issues like mold, rust which can happen when water and oxygen are allowed to settle on metals or corrosion.

Choosing a renewable or rechargeable dehumidifier and desiccant bag dehumidifiers for use as a gun-safe dehumidifier means it can be placed directly in the safe alongside important paperwork, firearms, and precious jewelry without the worry of water damage or the need for electricity.

Rechargeable silica gel dehumidifiers are safe to be placed next to electronics and firearms where they can remove the humidity from the air and prevent water spots or corrosion. When they have dried out the area as much as possible, the gels need to be removed, dried out, and then replaced.
