Dehumidifier DIY and Destory CaCl2

destroy vapors and CaCl2

FYI you can regenerate the liquid by putting it in an oven at 250C and all the water will come off leaving solid calcium chloride behind. Even heating the liquid up to (say) 150C will get rid of most of the water and regenerate it quite a bit. It doesn't have to be solid to work, it's just easier to handle.

Isnt it cheaper just to buy the stuff again... how long would it take to reform 1L of liquid (assuming its fully saturated)in a 1KW oven?

With an electric dehumidifier you can generate same amount of water in couple of hours.

That water you have collected is now the best weed/grass killer available my dad had moisture traps like so in his caravan and when they were full he killed my garden with it as he poured it out took 2 year's for it to recover!!

Did it help keep the room at a comfortable / cool level? like was it noticeable and did it smell?

[OskarNendes]

Can the salt be reused or it is wasted?

[kurigaru]

So what do we do with the hardened calcium chloride after that - trash and replace?

[jonsol]

Thanks for the idea, but what makes this endless?

Hi, how should calcium chloride be disposed of safely for personal health as well as the environment? :)

Ive been using this method of dehumidification for years and got some info for interesed parties.

Yes it works. No, its not for every situation. As many said, upside is that its passive noelectricity. Downside is that its corrosive ( cars, bad idea) and doesnt extract a lot of water. If you often gerenate humidity ( shower) get an electric one. If you need to keep garage humidity down to prevent mold growth, works epic.

0.5kg for 80m2 per year is sufficient.

Do you reuse the hardened stuff again?

[snipeweedan]

Can you reuse it by drying in sun? Thank you

1kg calcium chloride . How long does it last . Please tell me pls

[justicia]

which one do you use, technical grade or food grade calcium chloride?

[marqueemolina]

Can you break up and reuse the hardened calcium chloride ?

[cece]

Where do you find the container to hold the calcium?

[Chrispins]

I see no reason at all why you can't continue to use the salt block until it all dissolve

[voodoomotion]

Can you break up the calcium chloride and reuse it?

[HogwartsBasement]

We have very different meanings of endless in our planet that we are on as this isn’t endless at all

[Picsabaszo]

How do you know that the remaining stuff is not usable any more? When do you need to exchange the salt? THX!
