Silica gel replacement
 

Hello,


Would any of you know where i could find those humidity removing beads in bulk ?

I need to make a larger air dryer, but cant seem to find em.

Do we have a local Grainger around here ?

Thanks all,
Marc.

This what your looking for..??

http://www.acklandsgrainger.ca

There is one in Chilliwack. Speaking of which my Wife is from there and I will be there this summer.
I would love to drop by and check out your setup if you don't mind.. :D

You might want to try photography stores. They usually store SLRs in cases with the gels to prevent moulding.

Speak with any Air compressor companies. My company has buckets of the stuff for sale.

I also have these:

They are for smaller enclosed spaces though!

Let me know if you have any questions on pricing and i can get it to you.

or you can use silica based kitty litter, just get the non scented, works great, readily available and CHEAP!

Hey Thanks guys,

Sure, stop by anytime Ryan...as long as you dont mind it still lookin a bit reno`ish...lol (i been lazy )

Yeah i thought that was them, but they dont seem to carry it.

Thanks Physc and Steve,
I would love to puchase a bulk bag or container of it, say 5-10-20 lbs ?

I couldnt use the pelican, But thanks for the suggestion, as it is plumbed inline to remove humidity before the ozone unit gets it.

Very interested in a bulk buy from you steve, lemme know if your able.

Thanks, Marc.

Doh,

Didnt even see where You were Steve ..lol.

Ill look into the air compressor thing, thanks.

Thanks Quinster, hmm, can you tell if it gets full ?

lol, A big clump ?

I guess id be askin for too much if i wanted these beads color changing.
The ones it comes with are blue and change to pink an about 3-4 days...tellin me i need to bake em.

Thanks again,Marc.

Fudge,

Most likely you will be looking around $100 up to $225 for a 3 kg pail locally. Depending on whether it is colour change or not.But i did find you this:

The website states it is in Toronto as well but i am not sure if the pricing is US or Canadian?

We currently stock 2 companies: Grace Division Silica Beads and Brenntag Silica gel.We have carried those 2 for years now because of great comments from the end users.

Any more questions let me know.

I use it with my ozonizer and when you purchase it, the chips (I guess you could call them beads) are white and as they get waterlogged they turn a yellowish color. I too run it before the inlet of my ozonizer, my drying chamber is 4" x 10" and it changes in approximatly 1 1/2 - 2 months. A 5lb bag lasts about 6 months and cost me $4.99 (plus tax of course)

Pm
 

Steve - i sent you a PM regarding this. Please advise
thanks
