I keep my safe in the garage, the indoor temp can get down to 20 degrees, how long would it take to dehumidify the safe?

No clue. But I also keep my safe in the garage. And have one of these in there. N for the last yr I haven't had any issues. Especially since last winter it was steady in the teens.

Hi,what is the lowest setting you can set for this dehumidifier. I like to set mine around 30% or lower - the weather whee i live gets below zero and i get moisture forming on my windows

Set your temperature it will keep it within a degree , depending on your box insulation mine was working like it should

I don't think there is the room for a dehumidifier. The safe serves it purpose for a medium sized safe, and can be bolted to a concrete floor.

Hello, I use my Mr Heater to heat a 16 x 26 area with no problem. But I have it insulated pretty good. I want to say I could run around 6 hours on a 20 lb tank? If your garage is insulated, you would be shutting it off part time. The best way is to run it thru a thermostat. TSC stores use to sell a thermostat the would work on one of these? It's a nice little heater that you would fine is pretty handy to have around.Hope this helps,RGH

the unit has a heat source so it doesn't seem to matter the temp of the room (above freezing). I have it in my garage and it is often in the 40 degree range. The unit does put out heat when operating (when removing humidity--if humidity is at or lower than your setting the heat turns off but fan continues to operate). You should be fine. I love this thing. I moved from Eastern WA where humidity is hardly ever above 50%, to Western Wa where it is in the 80-99% most of the time. I am allergic to mildew/molds etc and this unit keeps my home dry and no musty scents. I was prepared to purchase a second one for the upstairs but this dandy unit keeps both floors perfect.

When I initially found this safe through another source I read it had a fire rating of 1200 degrees for 20 minutes. Not the best, however, I was satisfied because my safe is in my basement. If the house caught fire most of the heat would be on the top floor, I believe the contents would be safe. I hope this helps. Matt

I wouldn't the coils will freeze. I would do some research on using a dehumidifier in a garage at 30F

I've had my Whynter ARC-131GD for only two months and used it in May, which was an exceptionally dry month humidity-wise here in the Northeast, and June, which was a very rainy, very humid month with temperatures in the upper eighties. Personally, I've never had to empty my AC yet but I've read numerous other reviewers whose ACs have shut down because they've needed emptied/drained). From what I've read and experienced, I understand that ACs, which are so oversized for the space that they cycle on and off too frequently, do not stay on long enough to remove the interior humidity properly and is one of the reasons that the humidity in the interior space elevates. Since I do not feel comfortable in any air conditioned space that is both cold AND clammy and I know that I'm most comfortable in a room with the humidity in the low to mid forties, I do something that's probably considered unusual...I run my dehumidifier along with the AC until any 50 or 60% humidity drops to my comfort zone. I usually run both the AC and dehumidifier concurrently first thing in the morning for a short time, which then maintains humidity in the low forties range all day. Wouldn't work for everyone but, so far, it's been a comfortable combination for me. Lowering the humidity in the room like I do may be why I haven't had to empty or drain my AC.

I wouldn't think that much moisture is escaping out of the unit when it is being plugged in to dry. If so- pretty minimal. I've been re-charging mine in the same room as the safe. As others have said- it couldn't hurt to move it to another room. A safe is closed and pretty well sealed off to the room. I would think it's in a zone all it's own. The products using hydrosorbent crystals are for closed off spaces. Once a month I plug the E-500 in for 12- 13 hours. The (1) I use in my sealed off gun safe seems to acquire more moisture than the (1) I use in an under the stairs coat / storage closet.

I had the same question. My solution is to keep it in the closet in the house until we are ready to go out. I do the same with any liquid item, batteries, etc., that the AZ heat is likely to destroy.

This stuff works great. What I do, is double the dose in one gallon. keep the pets away until the stuff drys. When temp is above 80 it should dry in about 20-25 minutes. pets should be okay then. I also only spray the exterior of my home about two feet up from the foundation and around the lower portion of my window seals and entry doors. Hope this info helps.

It doesn't go by temp. It goes by how much humidity you have in your house. The dehumidifier will run down to temps of 45 degrees. Humidity in a house should be between 30 - 50. Set the humidity gauge on your dehumidifier to the amount of humidity you want in your house. I set mind at 40 and according to a separate temp/humidity gauge it is usually about 37.

I have mine in the garage. The temperature dosn't get quite get that low, but I can't see why it would not run at that temp.You are still above freezing.Richard S.

You would not know that it's on unless you look at your humidity gauge that should read between 35-50%. You can not feel air coming from the unit, but you will feel light heat within the safe. The unit will be warm.

If your basement's temperature is constant and it's dry in there,you can store the product for about 12 months. Kind regards !

Yes on the switch. The size of the garage is the factor you have to calculate. My shop is 16x24 insulated and from 40 degrees to 60 takes about 20 min when the outside temp is -25 degrees.
