But the thristy hippo will help to reduce the moisture content in the cabin If the cabin is kept dry, it will prevent odour especially the musky smell from take away food, market stuff, shoes, etc By the way, the thirsty hippo can last about a month or two And it's not that expensive Thanks for your reply, currently I have put it in the glove box but just wonder will it be effective cos it is like enclosed area. I have also put a packet of bamboo charcoal under driver's seat and the boot area, so far no bad odour.

Neutral Newbie January 5, Guys, I understand some of you have put the Thirsty Hippo in your car to absorb the moisture in the car, may I check with you where you put it?
Inside Glovebox or cabin? Now I store the hotpot after use inside an airtight container and only take it out right before usage. Let's build the dehumidifier.
It's ok to tip over the container or drop it from moderate height. I'm not sure what the membrane is made off. I would be great to use the same material too.
About months ago, I sealed a newly recycled dehumidifier inside a clear plastic vegetable bag HDPE? Yesterday I opened the bag, and to my surprise the dehumidifier was completely dissolved. That could be a clue Let's make a safe new dehumidifier. I'm using a clear plastic pot with a screw top and a handle.
They are used to package breakfast oats, and by now, I have loads of these. Try to find something similar. If you have access to a 3D printer: Cut open the top as shown in the picture. Don't damage the handles hinges. Print the mesh screen for the top and the inner container for the salt chunks on your 3D printer of choice. I used openscad to design them.
The design is fully parameterized and can be adjusted to fit any size container. If you don't have access to a 3D printer: Drill holes in the top of the container. For the inner reservoir, you are on your own. Something like cut up empty soda bottles could do the trick nicely.
Actually, you can also decide to skip the inner reservoir altogether. It will work as well with the solid salt submerged after a while, be it not as good. Put the reservoir inside you container and spoon in the CaCl2. Don't overfill it: make sure the liquid won't overflow as water gets absorbed.
Screw on the top, presto. I like to hang the humidifier, so it can't tip over. If you hang it, secure it properly: it will get heavier as water gets absorbed.. Pity about the missing water, I suppose they could just fill it with sand and make it a mud hole instead of a watering one! Haste ye back!

How A Dehumidifier Works. This is when the hot air gets cycled back into the room as cool air. So a dehumidifier does not generate cold air, but it does help to cool a room. It removes the humidity from the air, leaving the atmosphere cool and comfortable in the home.
How do you dispose of calcium chloride? Keep container tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. This chemical must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state, and local environmental control regulations. Can you reuse calcium chloride? Anhydrous calcium chloride is a common one that can also be reactivated and then reused. The water absorbed by the desiccant can be removed by heating it to a high temperature until the water evaporates, leaving just calcium chloride behind.
Put on gloves and place the desiccant in the oven. What chemical is in a dehumidifier? Traditional dehumidifiers have used calcium chloride to collect moisture from the air, but this chemical is a dangerous substance to have within your home. It can cause damage to property and people due to its properties.
