All desiccant caps come with rechargeable desiccant packs that can easily be recharged in the microwave and a vinyl cap when not in use. The 2" and 1.25" insert caps also come with an O-ring to help seal any gaps between the cap and focuser.

To recharge the desiccant packs:

Place all the desiccant packs in the microwave
Using DEFROST ONLY, microwave for 2 minutes
Repeat 3-4 times until the desiccant turns from green to orange

NOTE: When drying, the green desiccant will turn purple, then orange when drying is complete. After many recharges, the colour indicating beads may remain purple, but the desiccant is still effective.

These Dessicant Caps are finished in black. We can print in Red by request.
