<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 709125, member: 4552&quot;]The problem with any safe is every time you open it, all the air and humidity in the area goes in. </p><p>Where I live the humidity is excessively high. I sometimes feel it&#039;s about 1,000% if that was possible. I get a kick out of those silly weather people when they say it&#039;s raining and the humidity is 68%. </p><p>Due to age and several illnesses I&#039;ve kept my doors and windows closed almost all the time. In my basement some years ago I noticed the humidity was about 45% to 55% almost all the time. I purchased numerous gel packs for dehumidifying and at best 15 of them got the humidity down to about 40%at best and slowly that too just went back up. I purchased an electric dehumidifier with a hose to to basement drain. After two days of that thing running the humidity dropped down to 20%. After that it goes on and off pending the amount of outside air that seaps in as most air does. Usually the humidity in my basement is now about 15%. </p><p>Those Silica Gel packs and other such things are for enclosed storage places only. They must be maintained and/or constantly replaced. </p><p>If you want to keep your area free of humidity, purchase the electrical ones.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
